Why parking tires should be realigned and what damage they can do to a car if they are not.
Steering, tires and suspension will be affected
I have consulted a lot of information on the internet, including Zhihu, a relatively high-quality Q & a platform on the Internet, they are generally believed that parking does not return to the right direction of the general cause of"Steering, tires, suspension," the three aspects of the problem.
The first is the tire, which, as a direct contact with the ground, bears all the weight of the vehicle. When the tire comes back to normal, it is the thick part of the tire that makes contact with the ground, but if the direction does not come back to normal, the tire stress point becomes part of the tread, shoulder.
Shoulder long-term stress will give tire sidewall pressure, and the tire wall is often a vulnerable part of the tire, one-side sidewall pressure is too large, will cause the deformation of the tire.
The deformed wheel may not have much effect at low speeds, but once on the high speed, a deformed tire on the incarnation of a ready to detonate a bomb, a serious threat to driving safety.
The Second Impact is on the steering system. If the steering wheel is not turned straight when you stop, the wheels will pull the steering levers, and the gears of the steering wheel and the rack of the steering levers will be in a state of stress.
Over time, these parts will cause accelerated aging or deformation, once the deformation may lead to vehicle deviation, but also cause tire eccentric wear
The third is the car's suspension system, in the case of the wheels are righted, the force of the four suspension relatively uniform, but when the steering wheel is not righted, many models of the wheel will appear a tilt, the force of the suspension will also change.
The elastic struts in the suspension, the rubber envelope and some rubber cushions in the suspension system are in a deformation state for a long time, which will cause the suspension wear and deformation, after the suspension deformation of a variety of problems, such as abnormal noise, such as in extreme cases more prone to rollover.
In addition, there was a potential danger of not being able to turn the car around. Some drivers who were too nervous would not notice that they were not turning the car around the next time they drove. If they stepped on the accelerator, they might scratch the car next to them.
Teach domestic parking back to the tire, the United States is the naysayer?
Because the road environment in the United States is characterized by steep slopes, if a car owner puts the tire back on after parking, an oversight such as forgetting to pull the handbrake or mechanical failure of the handbrake occurs, can cause the safety hazard to the nearby pedestrian as well as the vehicle.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, there is such a course in driving schools in the United States. After parking, car owners need to pay attention to the conditions on the road. If the road has a slope, the steering wheel needs to be adjusted accordingly.
If you're going uphill, turn to the left, and if you're going downhill, turn to the right (only in countries where you're driving on the right) , so that you can be curb when you're slipping, to prevent further injury to pedestrians and vehicles in the vicinity.
This kind of parking is more dangerous than having the tires not straightened
One is to park half on the curb and half on the road, which for long periods of time not only affects the tyre suspension, but even slightly distorts the overall structure of the car.
