What are the effects of not straightening the wheels?
1 Answers
Not straightening the wheels can easily cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle. The following are the effects of not straightening the wheels: 1. Accelerated aging of steering system components: When parking with the steering wheel not straightened, the tie rod will be pulled by the wheels and unable to return to its original position. At the same time, the steering wheel gears and the tie rod rack are also under stress. Over time, these parts will age or deform faster, which may lead to issues such as vehicle deviation and abnormal tire wear. 2. Increased risk of suspension system oil leakage and abnormal noises: When parking with the steering wheel not straightened, the wheels will have an inclination angle, and the suspension system will tilt in the direction of the wheel inclination. This creates stress on components such as rubber bushings, elastic struts, and rubber shock absorbers, preventing them from returning to their normal positions. Over time, this can cause the shock-absorbing rubber pads inside to age.
