By comparing the speed of the front wheels to that of the rear wheels, the computer is able to detect
the slightest wheel spin.
According to Renault engineers, an F1 tyre works best under a very
slight wheel spin.
The 4Motion all - wheel - drive versions eliminate
the slight wheel spin that's possible on a dry road in the front - wheel - drive, and would be even more pronounced in the wet (though, of course, reined in by the electronic stability control).
Not exact matches
For example, should the
wheel be
spinning freely when you turn it by hand (jacked up, of course) even if there is a
slight dragging noise?
When
spinning the
wheel without load, a worn
wheel bearing will make a
slight rumbling sound, and might seem slightly lumpy (if it does, it's REALLY worn!)
It means that in certain situations, such as pulling out of a wet parking lot on a
slight incline, the rear
wheels will
spin easily unless you proceed with a light foot.
