What causes a car to sway left and right?
1 Answers
Car swaying left and right may be caused by abnormal tire pressure. The tire pressure values of the four tires should not differ too much, generally within 0.1 bar is normal. If the tire pressure values differ significantly, the uneven pressure will cause inconsistent energy absorption and shock absorption capabilities of the tires, leading to body shaking at high speeds. Below are the functions of car tires: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: Car tires support the full weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Improving vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, enhancing the car's power, braking, and off-road capabilities; together with the car's suspension, they mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. Preventing early damage to car components: Car tires protect car components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
