How Many Turns to Lock the Steering Wheel of a Large Truck?

[DelDante]

Large trucks typically require three or three and a half turns to lock the steering wheel. Here are some details about automotive steering wheels: 1. Steering wheel operation method: Visualizing the steering wheel as a clock face, the correct hand position is left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock, right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock. 2. Working principle: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. 3. Reason for not controlling rear wheels: Steering rear wheels is highly unstable, especially with single rear wheel steering which has extremely poor stability and becomes difficult to control at higher speeds.
