How often or when does the vehicle need to do four-wheel positioning

   

How often or under what circumstances the vehicle needs to do four-wheel positioning depends mainly on the use of the vehicle, the mileage traveled and whether there is a specific problem. The following are some common guiding principles and circumstances:

 First, four-wheel positioning according to time and mileage

 Routine: every 10,000 kilometers or annually: In general, it is recommended that the vehicle every 10,000 kilometers or annually for four-wheel positioning. This helps to maintain the stability and safety of the vehicle.

 High-frequency use vehicles: For high-frequency use vehicles such as taxis and vans, due to the high frequency of use, it is recommended to conduct four-wheel positioning every six months to ensure that the vehicle is always in the best driving condition. If the vehicle has not been driven for a long time (such as more than one year), four-wheel positioning is also recommended before reuse to check and adjust for positioning deviations that may be caused by prolonged parking.

Second, under specific circumstances, after the four-wheel positioning replacement or adjustment of tires and suspension system: when the tires, suspension system or related parts of the vehicle are replaced or adjusted, because the relative position between the components may change, it is necessary to carry out four-wheel positioning to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle.

After the accident repair: if the vehicle has had an accident such as a collision and has been repaired, especially involving the maintenance of the chassis and suspension system, then four-wheel positioning is also required after the repair to restore the original positioning parameters of the vehicle. The vehicle has a driving problem: when the vehicle has the following driving problems, it is also necessary to timely four-wheel positioning: the steering wheel is not correct when driving straight or the vehicle runs off. When driving straight, you need to grip the steering wheel to keep the car straight. The steering wheel is too heavy or does not self-align when the vehicle turns. When driving, the body feels wobbly or floating. Abnormal tire wear, such as partial wear, uneven wear and so on. Three, precautions ·

 Select a professional maintenance site: When performing four-wheel positioning, select a professional maintenance site and be operated by experienced technicians. Incorrect four-wheel positioning may change the original parameters of the vehicle components, have adverse effects on the stability of the vehicle and even lead to accidents. ·

 Regular inspection: In addition to four-wheel positioning according to the above time and mileage, the owner should also regularly check the wear and damage of the vehicle's tires, suspension system and other components in order to find and solve the problem in time. To sum up, how often or under what circumstances a vehicle needs to do four-wheel positioning depends mainly on the use of the vehicle, the mileage traveled, and whether there are specific problems. The owner should reasonably arrange the time and frequency of four-wheel positioning according to the actual situation to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle.
