How Many Turns to Lock the Steering Wheel and How Many to Center It?
1 Answers
Steering wheel lock is generally one and a half turns. After locking to the right, turning back one and a half turns will center it, and the same applies when locking to the left. Below is some related information about the steering wheel: 1. Introduction: The steering wheel is usually connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver during steering. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting piece between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitating the standardization of the steering gear, compensating for errors during manufacturing and installation, and making the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more reasonable. 2. Precautions: It is important to note that when turning the vehicle, locking the steering wheel increases the pressure on the power steering pump several times or even more. Continuously locking the steering wheel can further shorten the lifespan of the power steering pump. Therefore, the steering wheel should not be continuously locked.
