Why Does the Front Wheel Shake When Braking a Truck?
1 Answers
There are many reasons that may cause the front wheel to shake when braking a truck, mainly including excessive wear of the front wheel brake pads, excessive tire wear, or damage to the front shock absorbers. Trucks should regularly clean and inspect the brake pads; otherwise, it may affect driving safety. The specific details are as follows: 1. Excessive wear of front wheel brake pads: Normally, the thickness of car brake pads is about 10mm. If the brake pads are excessively worn and their surface becomes uneven, intense friction during braking can cause abnormal front wheel shaking. In this case, the wear level of the brake pads should be checked immediately and replaced. Generally, car brake pads should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. 2. Excessive tire wear: If the car tires are out of round, bulging, or excessively worn, shaking may occur during braking, or severe bumpiness may be felt during normal driving. In such cases, timely repair or replacement of the tires is necessary to avoid safety hazards. 3. Damaged front shock absorbers: If the front shock absorbers are damaged, it may lead to issues such as shaking when braking, abnormal steering, or tire noise. In this situation, it is advisable to seek professional inspection at a repair shop or 4S store.
