Any guesses on whats wrong with my MSP.

Well been sitting here for about 5 hours waiting for my car to get towed. Am very board.

Anyways heres the problem.


As I was driving this morning I noticed a slight pull to the left. Thought nothing of it, because I knew how bad the stock tires are. So I get out of work about to head to get my snows put on and I noticed low air in the rear tire drivers side. Ok ill let my car warm up and set up the air nozzle.

Get backinto my car reverse. Hard to move hmmm..... O well maybe cause low air. Go forward dont move at all. Snowy parking lot bad tires o well. Keep trying nothing. Had to get couple people to help push back into place.


The tire moves about a quarter turn so ebrake not stuck on. What the hell is my bearings shot?

I have had the worst luck with this car so far. First day get it with a nail in the tire then the door switch broke. Instrument cluster plastic cracked. They lost my keys the first day I got it so had to wait to get keys on the first day. Sorry for the long ramble.

since when are the RE040's bad tires???

he means bad in snow....but we all know that. I dunno whats wrong with your car, though it does kinda sound like bearings maybe, or a really warped rotor or something crazy like that. Hopefuly it's nothing serious.

Yes mean to say in snow and ice for the tires.

Well after another hour the man came and couldnt get my car up becuase the wheel is locked up so he wouldnt be able to put it back down. Now wait for longer.

Sux.

I feel your pain. I had to get a few pushes in the snow & ice myself. These are not the most well suited tires in the world for winter. My car tends to pull to the right or left too. I think it's the left but dont quote me on that. I've been told that most cars with turbo's pulls to one side due to the torque. However, it seems to pull ALOT. So much so that I have to have a pretty good grip on my steering wheel at all times. I'm developing muscles on my forearms from it if that tells you anything.

mine pulls to the right, with snow tires in snowy conditions if I start slipping under acceleration. It would be worse if we didn't have an LSD

 

[JTP]

Yes but my car wouldnt pull at all if the tire wasnt locked up.

 

[laracroft]

Mine pulls in REGULAR conditions. WORSE with snow to the right as well. My car has a mind of its own man.

Mine pulls to the right.

 

[JTP]

Yes mine pulled to the right as well in the snow right over a curb.

Opposite side of the locked up tire. FYI

its most likely your brakes.i don't think the wheel bearing would seize,the car isn't old enough.id check the e brake first they tend to stick in the cold.
are these are great tires as long as you stay out of the snow,water,ice,cold........or anything else you would find on the road

Well I found it out. The tire was flat and frozen so in the snow it would not turn cause of the frozen flat spot. Also I think the ebrake was frozen on because I heard a big pop when I tried the next day.
