What is front wheel drive on a car.?

I have a 98 Grand Am GT they say is front wheel drive. What is front wheel drive and how much trouble can I expect from it?



It means the power of the vehicle is produced by the front two tires, which means, the front two tires are how the vehicle moves.





You shouldn't expect much trouble, it's actually very beneficial. This is why so many cars these days are engineered as front wheel drive.




Simply means the front wheels are the pulling wheels as opposed to rear wheel like old cars or trucks.
