Why does the car feel unstable after changing tires?

2 Answers

The main reasons for the car feeling unstable after changing tires are the use of tires with different specifications or tread patterns, or failing to perform wheel balancing after tire replacement. Below are detailed explanations of the causes of car instability after tire replacement: 1. Using tires with different specifications or inconsistent tread patterns; 2. Not performing wheel balancing after tire replacement, which causes the tire's unbalanced state to create a floating sensation during high-speed driving, hence wheel balancing is necessary after tire replacement. The primary purpose of wheel balancing is to prevent tires from bouncing up and down or swaying left and right during high-speed driving, and to avoid steering wheel vibration and body shaking issues in the vehicle.

I just changed my tires and now the car feels wobbly and unstable, which is quite unsettling. As soon as the new tires were installed, I noticed the steering wheel isn't steady, especially at high speeds where the shaking is more pronounced. The most likely cause is improper wheel balancing, where the tires' rotation is uneven due to an unbalanced center of gravity, leading to body vibrations. It could also be due to incorrect tire pressure in the new tires—too high and the tires become too stiff and unstable, too low and they don't make proper contact with the road. Sometimes, if the new tires are of a different size or tread pattern, the grip on either side may be inconsistent, causing issues. If the repair shop didn't perform a proper alignment check, misaligned suspension systems can make things worse. I recommend you drive back to the shop immediately and have them recheck the wheel balancing and tire pressure—don't wait until it becomes a bigger problem. Also, ask if all the tires are of the same type to avoid mixing old and new ones. Safety comes first; this kind of instability shouldn't be ignored. Once addressed, you can drive with peace of mind on your new tires.

Is the dual-clutch transmission in the Audi Q2L dry or wet?

The dual-clutch transmission in the Audi Q2L is a dry type. The difference between dry and wet transmissions lies in the medium used between the clutch plates. A dry transmission uses air as the medium, while a wet transmission uses oil. Comparatively, wet transmissions have better heat dissipation than dry ones. In terms of exterior design, the Audi Q2L features the brand's signature hexagonal grille and comes equipped with LED daytime running lights shaped like a 'T'. The front bumper is accentuated with a silver trim, giving the car a dynamic and stylish appearance. Inside, the Audi Q2L's design closely resembles that of the Audi A3, with a fashionable red and black dual-tone interior. The car is equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, a central LCD display, and Audi's latest MMI control system.

How to Handle Overstocked Vehicles?

Methods for handling overstocked vehicles: 1. Dismantle the overstocked vehicles and sell important components such as engines and transmissions; 2. Overstocked vehicles can also be sold internally. If the number of overstocked vehicles is not large, they are often sold to employees at very low prices, which not only helps clear the inventory but also provides a benefit to the employees. Many 4S dealerships adopt this method. Since overstocked vehicles may be resold in various ways, buyers should be extra cautious when purchasing a car. A relatively simple way to identify an overstocked vehicle is to check the vehicle's nameplate, which clearly indicates the production date, making it easy to determine if it's an overstocked vehicle.

Is the Tow Hook Included with the Vehicle?

Tow hooks are towing and traction devices for vehicles. In many countries, vehicles come equipped with tow hooks as standard from the factory, as they are essential components. Functions of Tow Hooks: As the name suggests, tow hooks are used for towing vehicles. They can be installed at the front or rear of the vehicle. Typically, SUVs, trucks, and pickup trucks have tow hooks installed at the rear for towing other vehicles. Important Notes: Although tow hooks serve the purpose of towing vehicles, not all vehicles are permitted to have them installed. Only vehicles that meet specific regulations can be equipped with tow hooks. Additionally, tow hooks must not protrude beyond the vehicle's body when installed; otherwise, installation is not allowed. Illegal installation may result in fines.

Can the engine still run with slight cylinder scoring?

An engine with slight cylinder scoring should not continue to run. Engine: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power unit. The original meaning of engine refers to a "mechanical device that generates power." External Combustion Engine: Its fuel burns outside the engine, invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, hence also known as the Stirling engine. The engine converts the thermal energy generated by this combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal burns to generate heat, it heats water into a large amount of steam, creating high pressure. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy.
