Does Parking with the Steering Wheel Not Straight Have an Impact on the Car?
1 Answers
Parking with the steering wheel not straight does have an impact on the car. Steering System: If the car's steering linkage does not return to its original position, the steering wheel's gears and the linkage's rack will remain under stress. Over time, this can accelerate the aging or deformation of these components. If these parts become worn or deformed, it can cause the car to drift to one side and result in uneven tire wear. Suspension: Under normal conditions, the car's suspension is evenly stressed. However, when the steering wheel is not in the correct position, it can cause the shock-absorbing rubber components in the system to age prematurely. Tire Impact: When the steering wheel is not in the correct position, the car's tires experience uneven stress, leading to consistent pressure on one side. If this condition persists frequently, it can cause the sidewalls of the tires to age or deform.
