Should the Steering Wheel Be Straightened When Parking?

[JoyDella]

When parking, the steering wheel should be straightened. The effects of not straightening it include: 1. Causing uneven force distribution on the tires, accelerating the aging and deformation of the tire sidewalls, leading to air leakage or tire blowouts; 2. Accelerating the aging or deformation of steering mechanism components, resulting in vehicle deviation and uneven tire wear; 3. Causing the shock-absorbing rubber in the suspension system to age, leading to play in the connection points of the suspension's swing arms and links. The greater the play, the more severe the wear on the suspension system. Methods to avoid not straightening the steering wheel: 1. Observe the angle of the steering wheel after parking; 2. Judge based on the number of turns of the steering wheel; 3. Adjust by moving the vehicle forward or backward; 4. Stick your head out of the window to observe the angle of the tires.
