4 wheel steering issues

Has anyone had any problems with the 4 wheel steering?

Mechanical or uneven wearing of rear tires?

Any experience on conducting a 4-wheel alignment or other maintenance??

Thanks,

I read of one case on the forum where the car would not accelerate above 50 mph. The rear wheels are designed to turn opposite the fronts at low speed, the same direction as the fronts at higher speeds and toe in during breaking. In the case on this forum one of the rears was towing in at cruise speed causing excessive drag and limiting speed to 50. Only case ever seen.

I had the same concern about tire wear especially from breaking. I opted for the SH-awd.

Having driven both I will say this, the AWS is very agile and has super acceleration. The AWD hd good acceleration and GREAT cornering especially in this cases where power is added in the turn (and in my case I have the 245/40R19's.

There was an issue with the assembly bolts in the first few TLX's but other than that there havent' been any reports of bad wear on tires. I'd go to an acura dealer and talk to the tech's there rather than the service writers about it.

Is there anything unique or different in having a 4-wheel allignment done? Has anyone had one done outside of a dealership?

Thank you all!

Don't you mean RLX's? Didn't see any posts on TLX assembly bolt issues.

Have no issues with mine, car handles great.
