What Causes the Steering to Still Be Off After Wheel Alignment?
1 Answers
This is caused by inaccurate wheel alignment. In such cases, it is necessary to have the wheel alignment redone. Below is a relevant introduction to wheel alignment: 1. Function: Wheel alignment involves the installation positions of the wheels, suspension, and steering mechanism. Since a car is a highly precise mechanical device, a well-tuned vehicle requires the installation positions and parameters of various mechanical components to be accurate down to every screw. 2. Situations Requiring Alignment: When a car exhibits pulling to one side, it may be due to reduced stability in the chassis, necessitating a wheel alignment. If the steering wheel is not straight, there is severe uneven tire wear (commonly known as tire cupping), or if the steering or suspension system has been replaced, a wheel alignment is required.
