Default hmmm....

just wondering if anyone has been having problems keeping traction with these incredibly low pavement temperatures. i was on my way home tonight and its about 3 degrees outside. i could spin the tires in 4th just cruisin if i wanted to. no ice either. not very safe. also, has anyone noticed that their car will not kick sideways while taking a left turn? my car ALMOST seems to bog down, while the gas is floored taking a left turn, as soon as it straightens out it goes. you can actually feel the suspension holding the drivetrain back. whats the deal?

no, and i know where your going with that. i just did a new tank. it runs like a bear 99% of the time, just if i'm taking a hard left corner, it seems as if the suspension load is holding the driveline back.

is it possible for the trac-loc to bind up a little bit if it was worn, during a hard corner?
