Why is my rear end not getting traction?
The first time you hit the track, you may run into some issues with getting the rear end to hook up just right. Axle wrap, wheel hop, and poor shock/spring selection are serious killers of traction, and if you can’t seem to get a grip, these are often the cause of the issue.
How does the rear differential improve rear traction?
This unit bolts to the top of the differential and engages the car’s floor during axle wind up. “Since the snubber tries to lift the car at this point, the rear differential is actually forced downward and improves rear traction,” explain the folks over at HotRod Magazine.
What can I do to get traction at the rear?
“Our control arm relocation brackets allow you to correct the lower control arm angle, correcting the rear suspension geometry and allowing you to add anti-squat for increased traction.”
How does the traction control system work on a car?
A set of wheel speed sensors at each wheel control the TCS and ABS (anti-lock brake system) to let your traction control computer know whether or not each wheel is rolling correctly or slipping in any way.
What makes a car have good traction control?
The steering rack is attached to your steering wheel and is an important part of the power steering system. It receives the high-pressure hydraulic fluid that is necessary for making it easy to turn the steering wheel. Part of having good traction is having smooth steering that is easy to control.
What causes a motorcycle to have poor traction?
* Excessive chassis pitch through large bumps and dips at speed; rear end rebounds too fast, upsetting chassis with pogo-stick action. * Harsh ride; rear suspension compliance is poor and “feel” is vague. * Poor traction over bumps during hard acceleration due to lack of suspension compliance.
Why does my traction control light come on when I accelerate?
Below are the top 5 causes of a traction control light coming on when you are accelerating. Wheel speed sensors are connected to your traction control system and engine control unit. These sensors are responsible for detecting the speed in which your wheels are rotating. Each wheel has its own sensor.
Why does my rear suspension not work properly?
* Harsh ride; rear suspension compliance is poor and “feel” is vague. * Poor traction over bumps during hard acceleration due to lack of suspension compliance. * Bike wants to run wide in corners since the rear end is packing down; this forces a nose-high chassis attitude, which slows steering.
