Car Tire Wear Patterns

Image
Car Tire Wear on Inside Edge of Tire This kind of tire wear indicates a problem with alignment. Wheel alignment defines how straight the wheel relative to the car frame when defining how to tilt the wheel is called Camber. There are types of camber namely positive, negative and no camber. When we say positive camber it means that the wheel is tilted away from the car frame, when we say negative camber it means that the wheel is tilted towards the car frame and no camber means the wheel is not tilted. When the car tire wears mainly on the inside edge then it means that the wheel is too much tilted towards the car or has a negative camber. A wheel alignment will correct the problem do this at once to avoid excessive tire wear. Car Tire Wear on Outside Edge of Tire When a car tire wear patterns are mainly on the outside then it means that the wheel is tilted too much away from the car frame therefore to correct the problem a wheel alignment is necessary. Some mechanic may...

Outside of Tire Wear on Edges

Tires wearing on outside is a result of positive camber problem. Outside of tire wear means the tire is too much tilted away from the vehicle.

Grinding Noise when Braking

Image
During braking grinding noise occurs. Several problems occurs on the brake system and the most common of them all is grinding noise when braking . However, if the brake produce grinding sound it does not always mean that there is a brake problem but rather it warns the driver the brakes suffer excessively worn on the brake linings and this is the starts of a bigger problem that may occur if the driver neglect this sounds. Grinding noise when braking is produced by a metal that rubs against the metal, brake lining composes of metal inside in which when excessively worn the metal will expose and have a tendency to rub against the rotor disc or drums and will produce sound and can easily notice especially by the driver. Excessive worn out of brake linings happens when the car owner neglect the brake maintenance of the car, is after the hearing the grinding noise and the driver continues to neglect the brakes suffer a bigger problem such as uneven contact between brake linin...

The steering wheel vibrates when the car reach a certain the possible reason is that the front wheel is imbalance or there is a loose front end parts.

What Causes Vibration in the Steering Wheel

Image
What causes vibration in the steering wheel? the steering wheel vibrates especially when the car reaches a certain speed. The vibration is enough to be felt by the driver. There are two reasons that causing the vibration the first one is if the front end parts are loose and the other one is if the front wheel is an imbalance. What causes vibration in the steering wheel 1)The front end parts are loose. 2)The front wheel is not balance. Car problem diagnostic When steering wheel vibrates at a certain speed there are two possible reasons that causing this kind of car trouble its either some front end parts are loose or there is an imbalance between the front wheels. The front ends parts that are more likely to lose which may result in steering vibration when the car reaches a certain speed are the tie rods and the ball joints. The problem occurs when the car reaches a certain speed the vibration will become extreme since the vibration is extreme it can easily be fel...
