Is the Mercedes-Benz steering wheel heavy?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz steering wheel is heavy, and it takes some time to get used to even when adjusted to comfort mode. The following are the reasons for the heavy steering wheel: Steering component failure: Wear of the plane bearing, the plane bearing on the shock absorber, also known as the pressure bearing, serves as the movable connection between the shock absorber and the car body. If it wears out, it may cause the steering to become heavy, although its damage is also accompanied by a knocking noise when turning. Steering gear failure, such as corrosion of the universal joint of the steering gear, stuck or damaged solenoid valve, etc. Steering assist system failure: Once there is no steering assist, you have to overcome various torques inside to turn the steering wheel. Mercedes-Benz's steering assist control system can be divided into speed-sensitive power steering system (SPS), ECO power steering pump, electric steering system, hydraulic-electric auxiliary steering system, dual-pump steering assist system, and full hydraulic assist, depending on the model configuration. Simply put, it can be divided into hydraulic assist and electronic assist.
