What are the causes of car drifting?
1 Answers
There are five main reasons for car drifting: 1. Uneven tire pressure on the left and right drive wheels, leading to different friction between the tires and the ground, which causes drifting. Therefore, checking tire pressure is the first step in addressing drifting. 2. Inconsistent tread patterns or depths on the left and right tires. The grip of new and old tires differs; if one side uses a new tire while the other uses an old tire with significant wear, drifting may occur. In this case, replacing the tire is sufficient. 3. Suspension system failure, such as damage, deformation, or displacement of the suspension. This prevents the tire alignment from being adjusted to the standard position, requiring a four-wheel alignment adjustment or replacement of faulty suspension components to resolve. Such failures are relatively common. 4. Uneven wheelbase on the left and right sides, overall body deformation, or significant differences in the front and rear track widths on both sides. When driving, the car will drift toward the side with the shorter wheelbase. 5. Road factors, as roads are typically higher in the middle and lower on the sides to facilitate drainage. This road condition is not easily noticeable while driving, but for vehicles sensitive to steering, drifting to the right may occur after driving 100-200 meters.
