During and after snowfall, drivers have “headaches” mainly about the cleanliness of the windows and the efficiency of the “windshield wipers”. In the meantime, a really unpleasant “snow”
From time to time, in winter, Russian cities and towns are “covered” by a new powerful snow cyclone, for which, as always, public utilities are not ready. Covered with “white mud”, cars knead snowdrifts, “suddenly” formed on the roads and in the driveways of the yard. At the same time, the snow is crammed into the rims and does not attract the driver’s attention for the time being – while the car slowly crawls through the city traffic jams. But as soon as it becomes possible to accelerate to 70-80 km / h and faster, snow appears in the wheels, which in some places has slowly turned into ice.
The extra weight of snow ice, unevenly distributed over the wheel disc, leads to imbalance. The result is shaking, knocking of the steering wheel and other “joys” that make the journey a painful experience. Sometimes you can solve such a problem “one or two” – if there is a car wash nearby. Warm water instantly melts uninvited “weights” on the discs.
The main thing after such a procedure is to leave the car wash and immediately apply intensive braking several times. This will heat up and dry out the brakes. If there is no car wash on the way, you will have to manually peel off the snow and ice from the discs. Whenever possible, we tap the ice with the handle of a sweeping brush, mixing up the snow that has fallen on the car.
Where ice frozen to the discs is “not accessible”, you will have to remove it with something like a screwdriver. The main thing is to remove the most massive “growths”, since they are the ones that most affect the balance. But all this, as they say, lies on the surface. Much more insidious is the situation when snowfall is not particularly impressive.
In this case, the driver does not pay attention to the wheels at all. Approaching the car, which has been on the street all night, it will brush the snow off her body, start it and drive. On checkers – no attention. In the meantime, if the precipitation falls on the wheels, which are still lukewarm after the journey, they melt there and then freeze. By creating the imbalance described above.
To a greater extent, the rear wheels of cars are prone to such problems. Because the front brakes usually work more intensively and therefore heat up more. At the same time, the ice on the discs also melts more intensively. Meanwhile, the imbalance of the rear wheels, which is less noticeable to the driver, does not touch the steering wheel. But it breaks the suspension. In other words, if your car has been under even a not very intense snowfall, do not be lazy – remove the snow from all rims with a brush and make sure that no ice has formed there. If you find it, make sure to shoot it before the trip. The suspension will be better.
