Are Car Steering Wheel Sizes Standardized?

Most car steering wheels are the same size, with a few exceptions. Introduction to Steering Wheels: A steering wheel is a round control device used in cars, ships, aircraft, etc., to direct movement. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Functions of a Steering Wheel: Steering wheels are typically connected to the steering shaft via splines. Their primary function is to convert the driver's applied force on the wheel's edge into torque for the steering shaft. A larger-diameter steering wheel requires less hand force from the driver during turns. The steering intermediate shaft acts as a connector between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitating the standardization of steering gears, compensating for manufacturing and installation errors, and optimizing the placement of the steering gear and wheel in the vehicle.
