What makes a car spin in the wet?
If the tires are meant for dry cruising, they’ll be terrible in the wet. Check also your tire pressure. If it’s too high, you’ll spin easily. lastly, jack up the back end, spin the wheels by hand, and see if you have a dragging brake. A dragging brake on one wheel will cause ready spinning of the other wheel.
What happens when wheels spin in a car?
As the wheels break traction the powertrain mounts ‘unwind’ which momentarily allows the tyres to slightly increase traction – which winds up the mountings once again. Essentially you have an oscillatory system. The cure is to stiffen the engine mounts and also the suspension mounts. Stiffer springing and damping also helps.
What causes a wheel spin in a Vectra?
If the wheel slip is slight, the vibration may lose more energy per cycle than is obtained from the engine. But, as the wheel slip speeds up, the effective damping reduces, until it becomes negative, the vibration increases, and is felt and heard by the driver. I was just about to ask if the car in question was a Vectra.
What causes the front wheel to bounce up and down?
The thumping is wheel tramp. When you accelerate weight moves backwards, the front goes up, and the suspension goes light. The front wheel then bounce up and down. The only thng thats causing the wheel spin to the level where it starts to tramp is your right foot. TVM the voice of reason,thankfully ,can you not be a moderator mate?

Why does the outside wheel rotate slower than the inside wheel?
The pair of driving wheels in a vehicle does not rotate at the same speed during a turn. In situations like this, the wheel on the turning side (inside wheel) rotates slower than its counterpart (outside wheel). This is made possible with the help of the rear differential’s side gears and spiders.
How to fix trouble shooting on Power Wheels?
1 If the shifter handle feels loose then replace the shifter switches. 2 Inspect the bottom of the foot plunger switch. If there’s green or black then clean the connectors and replace the switch. 3 If you spliced wires for any reason take the splice apart the splice and make sure it is done right.
