2001 santafe awd pulling to side occasionally
Winter has arrived and i notice recently the steering wheel feels like it is
being pulled to the side usually left. I never noticed this until road conditions have become slippery,and snowy. This was never a problem before. only thing different I have 1 newer tire on the back and 3 older tires on the rest of the vehicle,the tread pattern is the same build up of snow and ice under vehicle affecting a sensor maybe? combo of 3 older tires and 1 new affecting awd? thanks for all responses zenox |

Just to clarify,I have not replaced a tie,just a tire,
all pressures are good. tks zenox "zenox" <zenox-7@shaw.ca> wrote in message news:FuW9h.367467$5R2.223434@pd7urf3no... > Winter has arrived and i notice recently the steering wheel feels like it > is being pulled to the side usually left. > I never noticed this until road conditions have become slippery,and snowy. > This was never a problem before. > only thing different I have 1 newer tire on the back and 3 older tires on > the rest of the vehicle,the tread pattern is the same > build up of snow and ice under vehicle affecting a sensor maybe? > combo of 3 older tires and 1 new affecting awd? > thanks for all responses > > zenox > |

Edwin,
Its the full size spare,probably 60% more tread than the other three,and its on the back,figure this could affect the steering?My first awd vehicle,so not sure. tks z "Edwin Pawlowski" <esp@snet.net> wrote in message news:E68ah.383$Py2.312@newssvr27.news.prodigy.net. .. > > "zenox" <zenox-7@shaw.ca> wrote in message > news:008ah.369114$1T2.288842@pd7urf2no... >> Just to clarify,I have not replaced a tie,just a tire, >> all pressures are good. >> tks > > But one tire is a different circumference than all the others. > |

Radial tires are more likely to cause problems if mixed than belted tires were years ago. If the tire is very new, get another to match it on the same axle. Rotate the tires with all five to avoid this in the future. In the case of my Buick, the tire pressure sensors are related to circumference of the tires. It detects that one side takes more revolutions per mile than the other and triggers the alarm. Your AWD system may work in a similar fashion. Things like this can affect traction control and stability control too, I'm told. |

Thanks Ed,Soon as it warms up(-32c tonight)
I will see what I can do. regards z "Edwin Pawlowski" <esp@snet.net> wrote in message news:edhah.9843$6t.50@newssvr11.news.prodigy.com.. . > > "zenox" <zenox-7@shaw.ca> wrote in message > news:A%fah.375273$5R2.200806@pd7urf3no... >> Edwin, >> Its the full size spare,probably 60% more tread than the other three,and >> its on the back,figure this could affect the steering?My first awd >> vehicle,so not sure. >> tks >> z > > Yes, it can as the back end moves around, especially on an AWD.

Re: 2001 santafe awd pulling to side extra
Took it for a drive tonight and noticed hesitation in the steering when making a turn. i mean , turn steering wheel and front wheels are slower to react to steering wheel motions. power steering fluid level is good. z |
