Why is the steering still not straight after wheel alignment?
1 Answers
The reasons why the steering is still not straight after wheel alignment are as follows: 1. Unequal tire pressure. Different tire pressures in the four wheels or on both sides can cause the wheels to vary in size, affecting the vehicle's balance, which inevitably leads to pulling. 2. Inconsistent or failed shock absorber damping. If the vehicle's shock absorbers fail or provide inconsistent damping, the suspension may be uneven during driving, causing uneven force distribution on both sides of the vehicle and resulting in pulling. 3. Uneven brake force distribution. If any of the brakes have poor return or incomplete separation, the wheel will continuously be under force during driving, leading to vehicle pulling. 4. Abnormal clearance in the chassis. Excessive wear of the vehicle's chassis components can cause abnormal clearances, which may also result in pulling. 5. Overall frame deformation. If the vehicle's frame is deformed, causing a significant difference in the wheelbase on both sides beyond the maximum allowable range, it will lead to pulling.
