Can a Bent Steering Column Be Repaired?
1 Answers
A bent steering column cannot be repaired and must be replaced. The steering column is the component of the steering system that connects the steering wheel to the steering gear. Through the steering column, the driver transmits torque to the steering gear, enabling the steering gear to facilitate turning. Common types of steering columns include hydraulic power steering columns, electro-hydraulic power steering columns, and electric power steering columns, each with different systems. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, you must use the turn signals, slow down, and always check the rearview mirrors before turning. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, always check the interior rearview mirror. Avoid staring directly in front of the car: When driving on an open road, look straight ahead about 100 meters and avoid focusing too closely on the area directly in front of the car. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there is no need to depress the clutch first. Wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. Steering: For high-speed turns, steer slowly; for low-speed turns, steer quickly.
