Tire misalignment: a mistake made with every season change of shoes

Tire change season is upon us: late night, soaped master, the third cosmic speed of work. Of course, in this mode it is impossible to do quality work, but sometimes “specialists” make serious mistakes. Which, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Autumn painted the world around us with bright colors, the weather forecast rushed to negative values, car owners dusted a pile of tires in garages. Soon it will be the turn to change summer tires for winter tires and enjoy the rustling of spikes on asphalt for half a year. And here, of course, there is a queue and stress, the flickering of half-dead masters of the fallen workload and attempts to see incorrect work “by eye”.
Again, we recall that the order and direction of mounting the tires are important, as is the tightening force of the bolts. Copper grease is a must. However, there is one operation that is always “forgotten”. In an effort to accept 1000 cars instead of the usual five, many tire shops try to minimize the number of procedures necessary. Give me a free hand, they wouldn’t even throw rubber, just knock out checks. Obviously they feed for two weeks in the fall and two weeks in the spring for a year, but one must also have a conscience.
First, they honestly cheat on balancing, as well as tightening the bolts. You have to think about the torque wrench because “you have to go, watch the moment, make a circle around the car again.” But domestic motorists have already learned this, and the tire mounting itself is already swinging at a price in the segment of “premium” procedures. The second important point that all tire changers try to avoid is cleaning the hub and the adjacent area of ​​the disc itself.
During use, especially if the owner of the car has cut back on copper grease, both surfaces become covered with a thick layer of rust and flown paint, often preventing the wheels from leveling. And the curve is under-tightened bolts, which can be easily torn out on the very first furious start at a stoplight. And here’s already the hub replacement at its best, and the misfortune is at its worst.
Therefore, when mounting a seasonal tire, it is necessary to politely but firmly remind the master of the need to clean – preferably not only with a brush, but with an electric grinder – both the fit on the hub and the “rear” ” on the disk. This procedure will not be too complicated, will increase costs and lengthen the time for changing shoes, but will then allow you to drive safely for the six months allotted for winter tires. In addition, it will take the extra load off the suspension elements: spare parts are now expensive and it takes a long time to chase them.
Don’t trust the masters? Do it yourself! Spending a languid evening in a garage co-op, uncovering winter wheels, inspecting them and then – what the hell is it no joke – independently, measured and sensitively rid the wheels of rye and lime. It’s dirty, but necessary.
