What Causes Obvious Jerking When the Car Brakes to a Stop?
1 Answers
The reasons for obvious jerking when the car brakes to a stop are as follows: 1. Suspension system malfunction: The front wheel shock absorbers are in a compressed state, while the rear wheel shock absorbers are in an extended state, creating a front-low, rear-high 'nose-dive' posture. When the car comes to a complete stop, the front and rear springs return to their original positions, causing the front of the car to lift slightly and the rear to lower, resulting in a jerking sensation. Increasing the stiffness of the front suspension can resolve this issue. 2. Sudden braking: Jerking occurs during sudden braking. Avoid hard braking and try to slow down gradually instead.
