Hello! I went drifting with couple of friends today and I had to take my mom's mini van (toyota siena). On a parking lot (it was raining/wet) i turned my wheel all the way to the left and floored it. I started spinning. When i released it and was straighting it out i felt those strange "hits" under my pedal. I sounded like something was cracking. So...did i mess something up, or is taht common? Thanks you in advance!

i think you meant that you went power sliding. i have never heard of any mini van having rear wheel drive. some with all wheel drive, but the ratio on the back is not high enough to push it sideways.

you were probably getting wheel hop, or your suspension was flexing too much and was popping. either way i don't think you did anything serious enough to worry about it. unless of course you are now having problems with the van now crackling or whatnot.
