My dad was driving my 02ES300 for a week because his car was at a dealer. And he came home with a flat tire(don't know if it was a pothole or curb) and i was trying to patch it and sidewall was ripped. So I ordered full set of tires(needed tires anyway). Now I was driving my car home last night and noticed when I am coming to a stop car kinda jerks(right when I stop) almost feeling like someone was tapping you from behind. Thought it was the road(snow) so I was driving around and it does it again and feels like something is broke when I stop. Anyone have any clue? could this caused by running over pothole or curb?

 

feeling like i am slipping... short slip

 

Hey Hoonami, I would get this checked out by a mechanic. Your alignment might need to be fixed. It can also be that your tie rod ends were damaged because of the pothole. If it feels like something is broke, then mostly like it is your tie rod ends. It also can possibly be your control arms.

 

any signs of tranny going bad? it kinda feels like slipping, but only when i am coming to a complete stop. haven't noticed it when i accelerate though... i've changed brake pads and rotors all around with Genuine Toyota summer 08. tires are about to be changed but it doesn't feel like tires are slipping, it's not the abs kicking in, i want to see if i can find out what it is before taking it to a dealer/mechanic. anyone PLEASE???

 

it only does it when coming to a stop from 30mph and above. it stops fine at low speeds....i am lost... anyone have any idea? i am getting my tires replaced tomorrow... this is really bothering me... can't sleep
