Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Car Slipping????

Ok, first the issue the best i can describe it. When I take off from a dead stop or turning a corner, it seems as if my tires just spin and my RPM's get high, I feel like I let out on the clutch just fine. Now I do know that my wheel bearings are bad and they are being fixed this weekend. My question is, can my bad wheel bearing be the reason my tires seem to spin as if im launching at 4300 rpms to go down the drag strip??? And yes I know, get the bearings fixed ASAP, its happening this weekend. Thanks.

p.s. car has 80,000 miles on it.

yeah im not getting on it that hard to get wheel hop. another example of my tires slipping, is when i come off the interstate, coming from the ramp onto the main street withough stopping, just a casual turn, when i can accelerate, i do and it seems to spin the tires as if i went from a hard launch. i will check out the mounts and everything though.
