It is essential to straighten the steering wheel when parking. If the steering wheel is not straightened, the wheels will pull the steering tie rod and prevent it from returning to its original position. At the same time, the gears of the steering wheel and the rack of the steering tie rod will remain under stress. Over time, this can accelerate the aging or deformation of these components. If these parts age or deform, it may lead to vehicle deviation and uneven tire wear. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. The steering wheel mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and the corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).

Where to Stick the Reflective Strips That Come with the Helmet?

Automobile trains and cargo vehicles with a length of 10 meters or more should have reflective markings on their sides. Here is some relevant information about reflective strips: Introduction: The width of the reflective marking materials should be selected from the following values: 50mm, 75mm, 100mm. For certain types of vehicles where 50mm wide reflective strips cannot be applied, two parallel 25mm wide reflective strips can be used instead. Paint: For surfaces with intact paint, the reflective strips can be directly applied after cleaning the surface. For surfaces where the paint has become soft or powdery, the paint should be removed, and the base material should be treated for rust prevention before applying the reflective strips.
