The weight of a car's steering wheel can be adjusted. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. The reasons for a heavy steering wheel include: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Malfunction of the power steering system; 4. Low tire pressure; 5. Toe-in malfunction; 6. Faults in the steering gear or power steering pump; 7. Overly tight bearing fit. Precautions for operating the steering wheel are: 1. When turning the steering wheel back, do it quickly and accurately to return to the correct position; 2. Do not apply excessive force when turning the steering wheel; 3. When driving in hazardous mountainous areas or on poor road surfaces, hold the steering wheel with both hands to prevent accidents; 4. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary.

Does Door Panel Painting Require Door Removal?

Door panel painting requires door removal. Even for just door panel painting, the door needs to be taken off. The door contains numerous wiring connections, such as power window regulators, electric locks, etc., along with door liners. If the door isn't removed for panel work, these wires could be damaged. Panel work involves applying force to the door, which may cause it to sag. Additionally, the limited space inside the door makes tool access difficult, making removal more conducive to effective panel painting. Panel Work Process: Full Vehicle Disassembly: Remove all panel components that require painting. Body Repair: Address damages such as dents from impacts or rollovers, bent frames, dimensional shifts through replacement, stretching, welding, etc. Panel Component Repair: Restore all damaged panels to their original appearance and dimensions using adhesives, welding, etc. Panel Component Fine-Tuning: Realign repaired doors, lights, and other panels, as well as displaced mechanical and electrical components. This requires exceptional skill and patience to achieve precise installation and aesthetic appeal. Full Vehicle Reassembly: After painting, reinstall and secure all panel components, followed by testing all movable panel parts.
