Factors Contributing To Truck Wheel Misalignment

Misalignment of the wheels can lead to problems such as runout, shuddering, side-slipping and erratic steering while the vehicle is in motion, all of which may affect the driving stability of the vehicle. Moreover, inaccurate wheel alignment may lead to various kinds of abnormal wear of tyres, such as unilateral wear, corrugated wear, block wear, bias wear, and so on. Inaccurate wheel alignment also increases the vehicle's driving resistance, which leads to increased fuel consumption. Below are some of the factors that cause inaccurate wheel alignment for your reference.

 

1. The Tyre Pressure Is Inconsistent

The vehicle to the low tyre pressure side of the run.

 

2. Tyre Tread Is Not The Same

Steering axle on both sides of the tyre tread is not the same, will also cause acceleration or braking deflection

 

3. Tyre Wear Inconsistency

Tyre wear leads to inconsistency in the height of the wheels on both sides, which will make the vehicle to the side of the tyre wear.

 

4. Suspension Effects

For example, the two sides of the spring plate is inconsistent with the old and new, the vehicle will be to the old spring plate side of the deflection

 

5. Front Shock Absorber Spring Deformation

Front shock absorber spring deformation on both sides, resulting in inconsistent buffer, triggering the vehicle to run off.

 

6. The Front Shock Absorber Failure

The front shock absorber failure in the vehicle driving two suspension a high and a low, uneven force, resulting in deflection.

 

7. The Two Sides Of The Wheel Rolling Efficiency Is Inconsistent

For example, the left side of the wheel with brakes, the vehicle will run off to the left; the right side of the wheel bearing is tight, it will run off to the right!

 

8. The Steering Wheel Failure

When the vehicle's steering wheel failure, the car will appear unstable direction, the car run off, steering effort or can not steer and other issues.

 

9. Wheel Brake Return Bad

Wheel in one of the brake return bad, separation is not complete. This is equivalent to one side of the wheel is always applied part of the brake, driving up the vehicle is bound to run off.

 

10. Excessive Wear and Tear Of Chassis Components

Excessive wear and tear of vehicle chassis components, resulting in the existence of abnormal clearance. Steering tie rod ball head, support arm rubber sleeve, stabiliser bar rubber sleeve, etc. is easy to appear gap is too large accessories.
