The stability of the car depends on the correct installation of the front wheels both when driving in a straight line and when cornering. However, a strong impact on a curbstone can noticeably disrupt the geometry of the front wheel suspension. In addition, worn hinges and rubber bearings, as well as unskilled repairs, have a negative impact on the running properties of the car. Measurement of wheel alignment angles should be carried out in the workshop, in the workshops there is a special stand for this. However, a lot depends on you - tires of the same brand and with the same tread height must be installed on both front wheels, the air pressure in the tires must correspond to the pressure prescribed by the manufacturer.
1. Are the steering wheel spokes symmetrical when driving in a straight line? A tilted steering wheel is a sign of an incorrectly set toe.
2. Are the front wheels symmetrical with respect to each other when the steering wheel is in a straight line position?
3. Does the vehicle drive straight on a flat road with the steering wheel released, or does it pull to the side?
4. Does the steering return to the middle position on its own after turning?
5. Is the tire profile worn evenly, or are the outer edges worn more than the inner edges?
