What Causes the Jerking When Accelerating in a Van?
1 Answers
Here are the possible reasons for the jerking when accelerating in a van: 1. Half-shaft failure: Under long-term torsional fatigue and impact forces, the half-shaft is prone to bending, twisting, breaking, or wear and misalignment of the spline teeth. This can cause the vehicle to jerk rhythmically within a certain speed range during acceleration, with the jerking disappearing or reducing when the throttle is released. 2. Engine malfunction: It is likely an issue with engine operation. For the engine to function properly, it requires sufficient air, adequate fuel, and a well-functioning ignition system. Any problem in these areas can lead to engine jerking.
