Westbury boy Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 My 2005 3.0 Alpharetta front end skips under hard acceleration but is fine under normal acceleration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsyp Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's probably axle tramp, most of these things don't have traction/stability control so you push 220hp through the front end of something like an Alphard harshly, it's somewhat to be expected.

Rojie Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, Westbury boy said: It only happens if for instance someone lets you out of a turning or a gap in traffic and have to be quick Load shift. The quicker, and more suddenly, you accelerate the more loading shifts (load transfer) to the rear axle/wheels. As the vehicle is a fixed weight, less loading will be on the front axles, causing less adhesion. Is the rear end suspension in prime condition ? Similarly, if your front suspension is less than optimal that will increase the tendency to 'tramp', as Paul described. You should get your suspension checked, when is your next MOT ? The quick, easy and inexpensive solution is to 'take' it easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
