Is a Bent Tire a Sign of a Broken Axle?
1 Answers
There are many reasons for a tire to become bent, and a broken axle is just one possible cause. Here are some relevant details: 1. How to Check: To determine if your car has a broken axle, you can drive it to an auto repair shop with a lift. Ask a mechanic to locate the axle shaft, clean off any dirt, and check for small cracks or complete breaks. 2. Precautions: To prevent a broken axle, avoid subjecting the front axle to excessive impact. For example, when driving over curbs, avoid turning the steering wheel and try not to let the tire sidewalls take direct hits. In daily use, if the side of your car is impacted, inspect it promptly to avoid potential hazards.
