Do you know the secret behind four-wheel alignment?
Four wheel alignment can be said to be understood by every car owner, but the real secret behind it is unknown to many car owners. Today we come to a detailed solution of the four-wheel alignment.
What is four-wheel alignment?
Four wheel alignment is to diagnose and eliminate the bad conditions of the vehicle by measuring the positioning angle. It is necessary to do the four-wheel alignment for the general family car during the annual maintenance, while the vehicle frequently used under some special conditions should be positioned every three months.
Is it necessary to do four-wheel alignment when the car deviates?
When most drivers find that the car is running away, their first reaction is that they think there is something wrong with the tire and suspension system, so they rush to do the four-wheel alignment. In fact, there are many reasons for car deviation, for example, the degree of tread pattern wear is different, there will be deviation, suspension system design problems or suspension injury, deformation, displacement and so on.
Under what circumstances does the vehicle need to do four-wheel alignment?
1. After a new tire is replaced or a collision accident occurs.
2. One side eccentric wear of front and rear tires.
3. The steering wheel is too heavy or floats and shakes when driving.
4. When going straight, the car deviates to the left or right.
5. Daily maintenance: after driving for 3 months, do four-wheel alignment every half a year or 10000 km.
What improvements will be made after normal four-wheel alignment?
1. Increase driving safety.
2. Reduce the abnormal wear of tire.
3. Keep the steering wheel straight and straight when driving straight.
4. After steering, the steering wheel will automatically align.
5. Increase the sense of control.
6. Reduce the abnormal consumption of fuel consumption.
7. Reduce the loss of suspension components.
What are the consequences of inaccurate four-wheel alignment?
1. Excessive tire wear: inaccurate four-wheel alignment parameters can cause tire eccentric wear, resulting in the risk of tire burst.
2. Poor driving: shaking steering wheel and deviation will make you feel more tired and increase the probability of traffic accidents.
3. Fuel consumption increase: if the fuel consumption increases without special circumstances, it may be that the four-wheel alignment parameters of the vehicle are not accurate.
