How to Adjust a Slightly Misaligned Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
Methods to adjust a slightly misaligned steering wheel: 1. Turn the steering wheel fully to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel; 2. Loosen the fixing nut with a wrench and then rotate the left tie rod clockwise; 3. After adjusting the left front wheel, proceed to adjust the right front wheel in the opposite direction. A slightly misaligned steering wheel is mainly caused by deformation of the front shock absorber springs leading to inconsistent cushioning on both sides, or complete failure of the shock absorbers, resulting in uneven force distribution between the two suspensions during driving. The quality of the steering system also affects the car's straight-line driving. Looseness caused by excessive wear gaps in connecting components or wear in bearings, kingpins, and bushings can lead to the car swaying left and right during driving, preventing it from maintaining a straight and normal trajectory.
