Show Wheel Out of Alignment Cause of Wear on Tires Bumping into curbs, hitting bumpa in the road, turning out into gutters and similar strains, shocks and jolts are very likely to cause misalignment or wobbling of wheels, or both. When this happens the wheels travel with a skidding action, which wears down treads very rapidly, even If the irregularity is so slight that the eye can hardly detect it. Tou should, therefore, test your wheels frequently to make sure that they run true. Probably as many as one car In three has one or more misalignment or wobbly wheels, robbing their tires of thousands of miles of service. Because of the turn-to-the-right rule of the road the right front wheel Is often forced into the rough going at the side of the road and Is likely to receive severe glancing blows, which produce misalignment, springing or dishing. |
