What are the causes of braking sideslip?
2 Answers
Braking sideslip is caused by: 1. Severe uneven tire wear; 2. Uneven clearance between the front wheel brake drum and friction lining; 3. Significant difference in the contact surface of the front wheel friction lining; 4. Loose fasteners of the suspension device; 5. Frame deformation or front axle displacement; 6. Failure of the brake pressure distribution valve; 7. Loose brake caliper mounting bracket; 8. Worn or damaged wheel hub bearings; 9. Failure of the brake pressure distribution valve. The solutions for braking sideslip are: 1. Replace the tires; 2. Tighten the suspension device; 3. Replace the brake pressure distribution valve; 4. Tighten the brake caliper mounting bracket; 5. Replace the wheel hub bearings; 6. Replace the brake pressure distribution valve.
The most common occurrence of braking skidding happens on rainy days or slippery roads, as the wet surface reduces tire grip, making it easier for wheels to lock up and lose control during braking. I've also heard many car owners complain about this issue, often due to worn-out tire treads or insufficient tire pressure, which significantly reduces traction. Additionally, problems with the braking system, such as ABS failure, can lead to uneven braking force, causing the vehicle to skid to one side. Driving habits also play a role, such as slamming on the brakes too hard or braking sharply while turning, which increases the risk of skidding. An unbalanced vehicle load, like having items placed more on one side, can also cause the car to sway during braking. In summary, to reduce accidents, it's essential to maintain tires and brakes properly, brake gently without panic, and drive cautiously.
