What Causes Steering Wheel Misalignment?
1 Answers
There are multiple reasons for steering wheel misalignment in a car: uneven tire pressure, differences in tire tread patterns or tread depth, deformation of front shock absorber springs, failure of front shock absorbers, body deformation, excessive wear of chassis components, inaccurate wheel alignment, and brake system malfunctions. Steering misalignment refers to the phenomenon where the car naturally drifts to one side while driving straight on a flat road, causing the centerline connecting the front and rear axles to deviate from the centerline of the driving path. Below are the adjustment methods for steering misalignment: Adjust in the Opposite Direction: If the vehicle leans to the left, slightly adjust the steering to the right; if the vehicle leans to the right, slightly adjust the steering to the left. Replace Components: Swap tire positions or replace tires, and replace suspension springs.
