2004 H6 LLBean Wagon with ~121,500 miles.
I've had it since 2005, with ~30,000 miles. Previous owner did all the recommended dealer service.
All the tires match, have less than 5k miles; and all the tires have always matched.
All new brakes/rotors on all 4 wheels, also less than 5k miles ago.
New driver’s side CV joint/axle (NAPA) also earlier this year.
Transmission fluid has been drained and refilled at less than 20k intervals since ~85,000. Gave some issues with wider than usual turns around that time which were then resolved with fluid change and additive.
In the last 6 months or so (at some point after all of the above changes were made), the car will feel like it's almost trying to very very briefly stop only when making LEFT turns... particularly after a stoplight.
It will initially take off fine, but at some point near the apex of the turn and past the apex it will start jerking or try to very very briefly stop, ~1-4 times (variable). Giving more gas makes it a bit worse. Coasting through turns is fine, no symptoms at all.
Happens only when car is at operating temperature and worse on warmer days (upper 80s or 90s). It’s not every left turn, even when it’s warm out and the car is at operating temperature.
There are no codes/no codes pending on the OBD II. (TPS was changed around 2007 or 2008 after getting a code pending).
Duty C Solenoid was replaced ~120,700 miles. This greatly improved issues with turning radius/consistency, which remain improved; seemed to also temporarily improve the jerking issue.
At least before the Duty C replacement, FWD drive fuse would resolve the issue, including (much to my frustration) temporarily upon removal of FWD fuse. Have not retested this theory since Duty C replacement.
Anyone else had mechanical torque bind from the clutch packs while turning ONE direction and not the other?
Anything else to consider since it’s an asymmetrical problem?
