Car shaking and pulling in rear can't drive

[Riff Raff]

Ideally, all four(4) tires should be brand spanking new and the same exact part number on a VX (no mix-matches of any kind). If you only replace two(2) tires, make sure they are the same exact part number as the older ones and put the brand new tires on the REAR axle (not front).

Leaving worn (thereby smaller diameter) tires on the rear axle will cause the TOD system to think the rear tires are slipping on ice/snow because they are rotating faster due to the smaller diameter from the worn tread. The TOD system will freak-out and constantly try to increase front axle power percentage to compensate the mis-matched rotation diameter between front & rear.

Again, keep all tires the same exact part number and try to buy four(4) brand new tires if possible. If not; put the two(2) brand new tires on the REAR axle only.

Sounds like a plan. Currently the rear tires are 1.5" taller...quite a large difference. I'll see if I can get two new tires tomorrow and put them on the rear and put the good used ones up front. Thanks.

Sounds like you may also have a case of Ldub's wobbly rear end.

Somehow, amongst all the Moab revelry, I musta missed Dub's wobbly rear end...uhmmm, or was that a problem after he had too many chocolate monkees?

What, pray tell, is a wobbly rear end in VX speak?

Sorry, I mis quoted - he had a 'waggly rear end'

iirc where dubs trailing arms connect to the frame, the holes had become oblong and allowing movement, which resulted in a kind of sway at high speeds

who's idea was it to put different sized tires on your VX? if it was a shop i would demand they buy them back or replace your fronts, and any damage to the transfer case should be covered too... any tire guy should know that AWD should NEVER have different size tires (unless it came that way from the factory.. ie caddy SRX)

Ohhh, is that why you wanted to be in the very back of the line up Dub? Were you embarrassed by this problem?

I know, I know,

If I'm tail gunner, it usually keeps me at a safe distance from other parties who may be in grave personal danger if within my reach......

As far as my waggly rear end is concerned...fixeded before Moab...
