Does Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary Damage the Tires?
1 Answers
Turning the steering wheel while stationary does damage the tires. Suspension Damage: Turning the steering wheel while stationary places excessive burden on the car, leading to damage to the vehicle's suspension system. The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car frame and the tires or axles. Its function is to transmit the impact forces between the tires and the frame caused by uneven road surfaces and to mitigate the resulting vibrations. Steering Wheel Damage: As the primary tool for controlling the direction of the car, turning the steering wheel while stationary requires greater force, which can indeed make the steering wheel too heavy and hinder its return to position. The car's steering system includes three types: electric power steering, electro-hydraulic power steering, and hydraulic power steering. Under normal conditions where the force remains unchanged, it generally does not cause damage to the steering system.
