Something going on when I make turns

I have a 95 tracker and lately whenever i make a left turn I can't accelerate while I am turning or the wheels feel like they can't catch up, almost like they are on ice or something. Anyone have any ideas?

4wd or 2wd model?

Sounds like it would be in 4wd attempting to turn and its binding up and pulling it wrong...

Is it auto/manual hubs?

Auto trans? Fluid level? Sometimes my my 95 Tracker (4wd, 3spd auto) will "wind up" (delayed engagement) to shift when turning upon moderate acceleration. Please post if you find a solution

Its 4wd automatic

and manual hubs

Are the hubs in 4x2 or 4x4?

Make sure the shifter for 4x4 is all the way back to the rear of the car... if you have it in 4x4 or the hubs are locked it will feel like that because it wants to pull the car one way while the rear is pushing it forward regardless.

I checked the hubs and they arent locked and the 4wd is in the place it needs to be. Any other ideas?

Could just be a weak powersteering pump... I don't drive with powersteering and btw, sharp left turns are less of a degree of angle than a right... example (a semi truck with a truck). I don't think its really worth bothering with as long as your 4x4 light isn't on either on the instrument dash. Don't attempt to fix something thats not broken.
