Loss of traction in the rear wheels of a vehicle is called spinning, sliding, drifting... In NASCAR terms, loose.
What is drive wheel?
All wheel drive is automatic:no driver interaction is needed.The system senses a loss of traction and redirects available engine torque to the wheels that have the most traction and away from the wheels that are slipping.
What is all-wheel drive?
All wheel drive is automatic:no driver interaction is needed.The system senses a loss of traction and redirects available engine torque to the wheels that have the most traction and away from the wheels that are slipping.

Possible failed U joint or cv joint at the left front wheel
How does the symmetrical all wheel drive system of the Subaru Forester work?
Speed sensors on the wheels determine which one is slipping and apply power to the others to compensate for the loss of traction. The Subaru system also ensures that equal power is going to every wheel at all times.
The AWD stopped working on our 2003 xc70 any suggestions?
The AWD works off an auto clutch system that primaraly drives the front weels, hence why they wear quicker than the rear. The all wheel drive kicks in when loss of traction occurs and put more power to the wheels with traction there is also sensers on each wheel to help detect this, they can become faulty especily when use on dusty roads or through water alot, A Europe car dealer or specalist is probabley you best bet in order to safely repair hope this helps.
What does trac off mean on a PT Cruiser?
"Trac off" on a PT Cruiser typically refers to the traction control system being disabled or turned off. This system helps prevent wheel spin and loss of traction by applying brakes to individual wheels as needed. When the "trac off" light is illuminated, it means the traction control system is not actively assisting in maintaining traction, which could be due to a manual override by the driver or a malfunction in the system.
Why don't racing quads have 4 wheel drive?
Four wheel drive has far more moving parts than 2 wheel drive. When the road might be slippery and you want to be sure you have traction all the time, you want 4 wheel drive. When you want all the power of the engine to get to the wheels and have absolutely nothing wasted turning extra gears and shafts, you go with 2 wheel drive. You decide. Do you want speed or safety? yeah right on point. and also the front end will tent to "plow" through the corners because the front tire will try to get traction. and the differentils will reduce the turning radius. You wont have the advantage of whipping the rear end around to help corner. and not only will you have a Hugh loss of power, but the machine will also be alot heavier. and the tires would have to pretty much be the same size front and back. and if all that isn't enough, theres twice as many moving parts which means twice as much can go wrong.
Is it safe to drive with unbalanced tires?
If a tire is unbalanced, the unbalanced dynamic forces causes the tire to run eccentrically. This eccentric movement causes reduced tire traction. The loss of traction results in a power loss, thus MPG is reduced. Additionally, unbalanced tires wear out faster. A tire that is out of balance can also impact your vehicle
