I have seen all-wheel drive on older model cars a lot, and 4 wheel drive is usually on trucks and such. Is there any difference?
Mazdas tend to have a harder ride because they are setup to handle more than just cruise. I wouldnt really consider a 50 series tire to be that low profile but it will also make it ride a little harder.
The Subaru's All Wheel rigidity equipment is particularly state-of-the-paintings. each and all of the wheels do no longer inevitably rigidity on the comparable time. it may act like a front wheel rigidity motor vehicle or a rear wheel rigidity motor vehicle counting on floor traction and what you the motive force are desirous to do on the 2nd.
AWD usually has a differential in the center that distributes various amounts of needed traction to the 4 wheels continuously. 4WD in trucks usually refer to a part-time system that is activated inside the cabin when its needed. When activated, the front wheels are locked with the rear. Shouldn't be used on dry roads.
[edit] [.Engaging four-wheel drive on a continuous basis has the potential to cause serious wear and tear on tires, drive axles and possibly even the transfer case. Parking can also be a chore. Designed to lock the front and rear axles together, four-wheel drive has the effect of widening the turning radius. Consequently, it requires a great deal of effort and patience to park in a tight space or maneuver through the taut confines of a mall parking lot. By comparison, all-wheel drive allows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. In this way, traction can be maintained while vehicle handling is improved. Most all-wheel drive systems are designed to split the amount of available traction; 60% to the rear wheels, 40% at the front. Under normal driving conditions, this set-up works fine. On a slippery road surface, however, it becomes a job for the viscous coupling unit to split the amount of traction based on specific wheel needs.]
i'd say that your low-pros, are causing alot of the bumpy ride and, you might want to check the struts and suspension if you bought a used mazda 6, if not, then it's probably the low-pros.
