1rmy7 · 01-25-2024, 08:34 AM

Hey guys! So for a while i have been experiencing a weird thing,when i reverse and my steering wheel is fully locked either right or left i feel like the front wheels are skipping,feeling this trough the car and also steering wheel,it’s like they lose traction for a milisecond. Any thoughts?

Normal on our cars. Spacers make it a little more noticeable since scrub radius increases. Someone said it feels like a tiny pop or skip, like driving over an acorn or pebble.

I’m happy I have already seen like 3 different threads this week about this, now I won’t be starting a new one once I hear it 😅

Because of the staggered setup and wide tires (275 or greater) you're experiencing a physics phenomenon called the Akermanns effect. The staggered setup increases the effect. In simplest terms it's because each axel has different turning radius. Happens almost every time I back out of my driveway. My driveway is inclined so it enhances it even more....nothing to worry about.

Check your tires for uneven wear or low tread depth. Worn-out tires can cause loss of traction, especially when turning sharply.
Misaligned wheels might be a culprit. If your wheels aren't properly aligned, it can affect stability during turns.
