hys·ter·e·sis   [his-tuh-ree-sis]
noun Physics .
1.
the lag in response exhibited by a body in reacting to changes in the forces,
2.
the phenomenon exhibited by a system, often an imperfectly elastic material, in which the reaction of the system to changes is dependent upon its past reactions to change.

The AFM wiper spring apparently reacts to certain tires' dynamic wind-up/release under the torque of acceleration.

Don, I remember very well the relief I felt the day I removed those hated factory-supplied Continentals from my Vanagon in 1990 and enjoyed my first smooth run through the gears in ages.
