Does the steering wheel translate or rotate when a car is driving on the road?

[VanJohnny]

Whether the steering wheel movement translates or rotates when a car is driving on the road depends on different situations: the steering wheel translates when the car is driving straight, and it rotates when the car is turning. The working principle of the steering wheel is: transmitting torque to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby pushing the wheels to turn left or right. The functions of the steering wheel are: 1. Controlling the driving direction of the car and steering the wheels to make the car drive straight or turn; 2. Helping to diagnose car faults. Precautions for using the steering wheel: 1. When the speed is high, the steering angle should be reduced; 2. When the middle part of the vehicle has passed the center line, the steering wheel should be straightened; 3. When the front of the car is aligned with the center line of the lane, the steering wheel should be straightened.
