Strange experience - differential problem?
I was out driving around Saturday night and just enjoying the nice night. I made a few WOT or near-WOT straight runs and noticed that a couple of times the right side rear wanted to push the car harder than the left - almost as if the left wheel was getting less power. The car clearly wanted to start twist to the left but I took off the throttle to stop it. On another couple of times everything was fine.
Can the traction control computers do this? Can they drop power to one wheel like that? Or could this be a differential problem?
It didn't feel like the left was slipping and the road surface seemed to be the same on both wheels (hard to know on the street) - it just felt like the right was getting a lot more torque.
