My right rear wheel on my rear wheel drive 2008 Dodge Charger sticks sometimes when I ty to accelerate
The right rear wheel sticks sometimes when I accelerate, and I'd like to know why that is happening?
My car has 37400 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Hi there. When the wheel stops spinning or is sticking while accelerating, it’s usually caused by one of three problems. Either the ABS system is malfunctioning, the brake caliper is sticking or the wheel bearing is damaged. Either of these issues are considered to be safety hazards, so I would strongly recommend having a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete an inspection to determine the source of this issue and recommend the right repairs.
How to Identify and Fix Common car Problems ?

This is often caused by a dirty throttle body or a problem with the accelerator pedal sensor. The best way to clean the throttle body is to use a throttle body cleaner. You can also try vehicle input shafts or transmission sensors. If the problem persists, we recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic.
An engine that is hesitating to accelerate is most likely dealing with a fuel/air mixture that is too lean. Engine`s that are running inefficiently will begin to show signs like hesitation which will only become worse over time.
TheDodge Charger 0-60 miles per hour times are always impressive, and the 2022 model year is no exception. In fact, the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody 0-60 acceleration clocks in at just 3.5 seconds. The Dodge Charger RT 0-60 miles per hour time is nothing to sneeze at either.
The 2008 Dodge Charger SRT8 comes with a specially modified 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 that produces 425 hp, enough to propel the five-passenger sedan from 0-60 mph in around five seconds.
Clogged Fuel Injectors
If you hear your car engine stuttering, then the injectors may not be providing an adequate amount of fuel. To fix this, you should clean the injectors on a regular basis. Using a fuel injector cleaning solution might eliminate the issue of the car jerking.
Usually when the car will `jerk` when you press the accelerator and lift from the accelerator, it`s likely due to clogged fuel injectors, damage to the throttle body or other fuel system components. It could also be due to worn out motor mounts or perhaps a small exhaust leak.
Common symptoms
Throttle body and electronic throttle body issues can result in the engine stalling, failing to start, warning lights on the instrument cluster, and hesitation or power surging on acceleration.
A: Generally, the Dodge Charger is considered to be a fast car.
The Charger SRT® Hellcat hits the streets this year reaching 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Tire issues: The most frequent causes of a vehicle shaking while driving stem from tire issues. Tires begin to behave differently when worn or out of balance.
Any unusual shaking or vibrating forces coming from the engine is cause for concern. It could be something as simple as old spark plugs producing an uneven power delivery, it could be something serious like worn or broken engine mounts, or it could be even more serious in the case of internal engine damage.

Loud repetitive noise coming from front tire in 2 wheel drive, goes away when in 4 wheel drive.
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. Chances are there was an existing issue that was amplified by the tire rotation. There are several parts that will cause similar symptoms. You will want to consider the parts that are under load in 4wd, that are free when in 2wd. This would include the axle and sveral joints. There are a couple of tests that can be done. More damage was likely done driving on dry pavement in 4wd. It was a good step in diagnostics, but should be avoided. For more help with diagnosing the sounds, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
The service 4 wheel drive light comes on in my 05 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD
ANSWER : It is not likely that damage will occur or is occurring. Generally, it’s only if the check engine light is actually flashing that you can reasonably expect damage. As far as whether what you are describing is a "known issue" or not, there are many GM Technical Service Bulletins for your year, make and model that refer to the Service 4WD indicator.

Just bought a used Forester that started rattling when I’m not accelerating and the wheel is straight. Any ideas on what it could be?
ANSWER : Hey there. The most common source of rattles on Subaru’s are the exhaust heat shields. They can rattle under all sorts of random circumstances. Whenever you turn, accelerate, let off the gas or brake, the motor experiences torque that is dampened by the engine mounts so the passengers won’t feel these vibrations. This torquing will affect the exhaust as much as any other component on the car. Checking for exhaust shield rattles is fairly simple. Use a soft mallet hammer to tap on the shields to see if it rattles. If it does, repairing this is more challenging than locating it. It’s a creative process that can only be decided in person. Of course, you will need to get under that car to access all of the shields.
Other than the exhaust shields, it could be a dust shield on the brakes or a sway bar end link. Both of these are far less common as determined by your description of your symptoms. If it is a sway bar end link, it will rattle most often when you go over bumps. If it is the brake dust shield, you will need to remove the wheel to see if the shield is loose.
If you need further help having this done, a certified professional from YourMechanic can come to your car’s location to diagnose the rattling noise so that this can be corrected.
