What Causes Motorcycle Front Wheel Misalignment?
1 Answers
Shock absorber deformation or uneven left-right stiffness, steering stem deformation, excessively tight steering stem, rear swingarm deformation, and frame deformation can all cause motorcycle misalignment. Additionally, factors like insufficient tire pressure and increased clearance due to damaged wheel hub bearings can sometimes give the sensation of the bike pulling to one side. Wheel Wobble: Wobble refers to unstable tire rotation caused by various factors. Wheel and tire wobble manifests as irregular up-down or left-right movements. Lateral wobble refers to side-to-side movement of the wheel or tire, while radial wobble refers to up-down movement. Vibration issues related to wobble can only be resolved by identifying and addressing the source of the wobble. Wheel Misalignment: Misalignment occurs when a vehicle traveling on a straight road deviates from its intended path without any external force being applied to the steering wheel.
