Reasons Why the Steering Wheel is Still Off-Center Despite Proper Wheel Alignment
1 Answers
The reasons why the steering wheel is still off-center despite proper wheel alignment are as follows: 1. Uneven tire pressure between the left and right wheels on the same axle. Check the tire pressure of all front and rear wheels and adjust the pressure of the left and right tires on the same axle to be balanced. 2. Uneven length of the left and right shock absorbers on the same axle, or issues with the shock absorbers and coil springs, which can often cause the vehicle to pull to one side. In this case, it is necessary to visit a professional auto repair shop to fix the shock absorbers promptly. 3. Poor separation of the brake on a certain wheel can also cause the steering to pull to one side. This is equivalent to one wheel constantly applying partial braking, which will inevitably cause the vehicle to drift. Immediate repair is also required in this situation. 4. Overall deformation of the vehicle frame. If the wheelbase difference between the two sides is too large and exceeds the maximum allowable range, it can be measured with a tape measure. If it exceeds the range, it must be corrected using a frame straightening machine.
