Why does my car hop on turns
I already:
Searched - No Help
Asked People - No Help
so now i wanna know for sure.
Almost everytime i make a turn and accelerate at the same time my car kind of hops and loses traction. I was thinking because my car is Front Wheel Drive. It doesnt do this when the clutch is down or anything, but only when I'm accelerating.
My friend said all cars get it, but i just dont know.
Is it because of FWD or does it do this with all cars?
