The functions of car wheel alignment are as follows: 1. It ensures the straight-line stability and handling performance of the vehicle. 2. It improves the steering response and ensures the returnability of the steering system. 3. It prevents improper bearing stress and damage, as well as loss of precision. 4. It ensures tight contact between the tires and the ground, reduces abnormal tire wear and irregular tread wear, and ensures stability during cornering. The conditions for car wheel alignment are as follows: 1. Tire pressure and tire tread wear: Uneven tire wear indicates a fault in certain aspects such as the tires, steering system, or suspension. 2. Wheel wobble: Wobble is a condition where the tire rotates unstably due to various reasons, and it refers to irregular up-and-down or left-and-right movement of the wheel and tire. 3. Wheel misalignment: Misalignment refers to the situation where the vehicle deviates from its intended direction while driving on a straight road, with the steering wheel not subjected to any external force.

What does ESC mean on a car?

ESC is the term used by General Motors for the vehicle stability control system. Many car brands have their own electronic stability control systems with different names: Volkswagen calls it ESP, Honda calls it VSA, and BMW calls it DSC, etc. While the names vary, their basic principles and functions are similar. Here are the main roles and usage scenarios of ESC: 1. It makes the car more stable and safe when changing lanes or turning, but the ESC system does not function under normal driving conditions. 2. When the ESC system is activated to correct vehicle stability, it slows down the speed, and special attention should be paid to road conditions. 3. The ESC system is only a supplementary system for the vehicle. When the car's instability exceeds physical limits, it cannot be controlled. 4. When ESC is working, there may be some noise or vibration from the brake pedal or other corresponding systems due to pressure changes in those systems.
