Does the steering wheel need calibration after removal and reinstallation?
1 Answers
Make marks, no positioning is needed. If no marks are made, a test drive is normal and calibration is not necessary. If it is not straight, it can be removed and readjusted without any impact. The following is an introduction to the steering wheel: 1. Reasons for the steering wheel not being straight: (1) A slightly off-center steering wheel is generally related to tire pressure, tire wear, wear of chassis components, and wheel alignment. You can first measure the tire pressure. When the tire pressure on both sides is inconsistent, the vehicle will drive towards the side with lower pressure. (2) Due to changes in vehicle alignment data, variations in wheel pressure, and loosening of suspension bushings during driving, the steering wheel may not remain in a straight position. 2. Two situations where the steering wheel is not straight: (1) One is when the steering wheel is not straight, but the vehicle can maintain straight-line driving. This phenomenon requires wheel alignment, adjusting the left and right front values with the steering wheel straightened. (2) The other is when the direction automatically drifts after releasing the steering wheel, causing the steering wheel to be off-center. This phenomenon also requires wheel alignment, along with checking tire pressure, suspension looseness, and body level issues.
