What are the disadvantages of turning the steering wheel to the extreme?
1 Answers
The disadvantages of turning the steering wheel to the extreme include: 1. Power steering system: Some vehicle manuals explicitly state that the steering wheel should not be turned to the extreme for more than 15 seconds, as prolonged extreme turning may damage the power steering structure. 2. Premature aging and deformation of parts: When the steering wheel is turned to the extreme, the tie rod will be constantly pulled by the wheels, and the steering gear and rack of the tie rod will also be under continuous stress. Over time, this accelerates the aging and deformation of the parts. 3. Increased fatigue in the suspension system: If the steering wheel is turned to the extreme, the suspension system will be subjected to force in one direction for a prolonged period, leading to wear and fatigue in the suspension arms and links.
