Flatbed Semitrailer Of Abnormal Four Wheel Alignment On Influence
What is the four wheel alignment of the flatbed semitrailer?
The four wheel positioning of the flatbed semitrailer means that the positioning angle of the suspension system is preset when the vehicle leaves the factory. Maintaining the correct four wheel alignment angle ensures the straightness of the vehicle, the handling and the responsiveness of the steering system. Avoid bearing damage due to improper force and loss of accuracy. It can also ensure that the tires are in close contact with the ground and reduce improper tire wear. Ensure the stability of the flatbed semitrailer when turning.
If the four wheel alignment of the vehicle is not carried out in time. Not only will tire life be shortened, but fuel consumption will also increase. Today, I will mainly introduce to you the impact on the flatbed semitrailer if the four wheel alignment is not carried out in time.
The impact of not performing four wheel alignment in time
1. Tail flick: The usual form of expression is when the driver looks from the rearview mirror to the rear on both sides of the body. You will find that one side can see and the other side cannot. This phenomenon is very dangerous, and a little carelessness will cause a great traffic accident.
2. Direction: Due to the large error of the wheelbase of the flatbed semitrailer. The axles are not parallel. It will have a great impact on the direction of the vehicle.
3. Tire wear: the wheelbase is not parallel. It will cause the resistance of the vehicle to increase when driving at high speed. The friction between the tire and the ground also increases.
4. Fuel consumption: Due to the increase of driving resistance, the fuel consumption will increase by 1%-3% than normal.
5. Accelerated wear of chassis accessories: it will cause balance beams and pins. Rapid damage to the nylon sleeve and iron pin of the tie rod. In severe cases, it will cause damage to the saddle, bracket, and steel plate.
The above is the impact that the flatbed semitrailer may have on the semi trailer if the four wheel alignment is not carried out in time.
