Leaving from the rectilinear movement, or maintaining

"Maintaining" is a spontaneous withdrawal of the car from the rectilinear movement in any party.

Maintaining is usually caused:

    Violation of angles of installation of wheels. Wrong adjustment of brakes. Design of tires.

The design of tires can cause maintaining the car. The cord arrangement can be an example. The steel cord at rotation of a wheel can cause side efforts. If diameter of one party of a tire is a little more than diameter of other party, then the tire will heel on this party. It will cause side efforts that will lead to maintaining the car.

The procedure of check on the previous page has to be performed to exclude a possibility of influence of angles of installation of wheels on maintaining the car.

    The procedure of diagnostics of maintaining a tire partially differs from the procedure of the shift of tires described in the maintenance instruction. If tires with different high-speed characteristics are established on one axis, then be convinced that it did not cause deterioration in running characteristics. Back tires do not lead to maintaining manifestation.
