After replacing the steering gear, a wheel alignment is necessary to prevent the car from pulling to one side. Without a wheel alignment, the car is likely to drift. The reasons for a car pulling to one side while driving include: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Different tire tread patterns, as using mismatched tires can easily cause drifting; 3. Severe tire wear; 4. Damaged shock absorbers, where a deformed or weakened spring can affect the car's stability during movement. The car steering gear, also known as the steering mechanism or steering box, is a crucial component of the car's steering system. Its functions are to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to alter the direction of force transmission.

Which Volkswagen models are suitable for modification?

Among Volkswagen models, the Golf, Polo, Lamando, and Scirocco are suitable for modification, but the most common choice is the Golf. Here is more information about modifications: 1. Before modifying a licensed vehicle, it is necessary to register and declare the modification to the vehicle management office. Modification can only proceed after approval from the vehicle management office. After the modification is completed, the modification change procedures must be completed at the vehicle management office. 2. According to Article 6 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," changes such as body color, engine replacement, chassis replacement, substandard body quality, illegal operation, and household registration changes must be declared. Other small parts produced by regular manufacturers that do not affect performance do not need to be declared. As long as the size of the replaced rims is consistent with the original, the appearance can be changed as desired.

How often should Volkswagen brake fluid be changed and how much fluid is needed?

Volkswagen's brake fluid should be changed every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. Approximately 1L of fluid is required when replacing the brake fluid. The replacement interval for brake fluid depends on the brand of the fluid and the vehicle model, and brake fluid also degrades over time. Below is an introduction to brake fluid: Brake fluid, also known as automotive brake fluid, is the liquid used in a vehicle's hydraulic braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force is transmitted by the master cylinder's piston through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders, causing the brake pads to expand and stop the vehicle. When the brake is released, the return springs pull the brake pads back to their original position.

What is the tire model of Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan L?

Tiguan L uses two models of tires, one is 235/55r18, and the other is 255/45r19. The following is the extended information: 1. The tire replacement cycle of Tiguan is usually about 3 years or 50,000 kilometers. Beyond this period, the tires will begin to age. The main manifestation of tire aging is surface hardening, followed by cracks. Aged tires will lose their elasticity, and continued use may cause tread deformation, posing a risk of blowout. 2. Any brand of tires will have a wear mark at the bottom of the tread groove. Generally, the wear mark height of car tires is 1.6 millimeters (this height is also the legal minimum groove depth of tires), and the wear mark height of load-bearing tires is 2.4 millimeters. When the wear mark height is less than 1.6, the tires should be replaced.
