Car Jerking...
 

My car was jerking to the left last night. It was pretty serious, and i had to drive 3 miles at 5mph home cuz it was so bad.And this morning it didnt do it at all. Im thinkin it was my brakes. Theres not much you guys can tell me other than...

what happens when your tie rods brake?
Or your belts in your tires?
Could a brake be the problem???
so confused my car always wants to break down onme

RE: Car Jerking...
 

If your tie rod is broken,that wheel/tire will not turn with the other,it will most likely turn right or left depending on which tie rodand stay in that position.
A belt will be more of a vibration or light thump thump feeling.
The brakes can cause that if there are bad and a catch & release action can happen.
Start at the brakes and work your way in.
When it jerked did it slow down in any amount?

NO... the faster i drove my car the faster it jerked... and not necessarily harder. Once i got to 45mph it was just like alot of vibrations but the intensity stayed the same.

Do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel or the seat.

RE: Car Jerking...
 

In the steering wheel... but you can feel the car jerk to the left and you can feel it in the car. But I feel it in the wheel when im driving...

Jack it up under the left control arm and check for looseor damaged parts,do the same for the other side.
