Is the steering wheel self-centering or manually centering?

[MacCourtney]

The steering wheel is self-centering, but if it is slow to return, it can be manually centered. The self-centering feature of the steering wheel is a basic function of a car. There are two main reasons why cars are designed with a self-centering steering wheel: Reduced resistance: When the car is turning, the wheels are tilted, which increases the resistance the car experiences. Higher resistance makes it harder for the driver to control the steering wheel, affecting the driving experience. Therefore, the self-centering feature was incorporated into the car's design. Minimized component angles: Another reason is that during the initial design of the car, there are slight angles between components, carefully calculated by designers. When the car turns, these angles change, affecting the coordination between parts. With the self-centering function, the angles between components can return to their original positions after passing through a curve.
