How many kilometers does a car need to travel before requiring a wheel alignment?
1 Answers
Wheel alignment for cars is a maintenance service with no strict requirement on frequency, primarily determined by the actual usage conditions of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to car wheel alignment: 1. Wheel alignment adjusts the angles and relative positions between the car tires, steering system, suspension system, and front and rear axles to ensure stable straight-line driving. As mileage increases, tire wear occurs, and some impacts may alter the originally fixed angles and positions, necessitating a wheel alignment to ensure driving safety and stability. 2. Wheel alignment is required under the following circumstances: (1) When driving on a straight road, if you need to grip the steering wheel tightly to prevent the car from veering, it indicates a need for wheel alignment. (2) If one side of the front or rear tires shows particularly severe wear, a wheel alignment is needed. (3) If the car feels floaty or unstable during normal driving, similar to when turning or driving on rough roads, it suggests a need for wheel alignment. (4) After installing new tires or following collision repairs, steering, or suspension system maintenance.
