What Are the Hazards of Not Straightening the Steering Wheel When Parking?
1 Answers
The hazards of not straightening the steering wheel when parking are as follows: 1. Damage to the steering system: Over time, it can accelerate the aging and deformation of certain components, leading to vehicle deviation. 2. Damage to the tires: It can accelerate the aging and deformation of the tire sidewalls, potentially causing air leakage or tire blowouts in the long run. 3. Harm to the suspension system: When the steering wheel is not straightened, many vehicle models will have wheels at an angle, causing the suspension system to tilt in one direction. This creates stress on components such as the elastic struts, rubber seals, and rubber shock absorbers within the suspension system, preventing them from returning to their normal positions. This leads to aging of the shock-absorbing rubber in the suspension system, and increased play at the connection points of the suspension's control arms and links. The greater the play, the more severe the wear, creating a vicious cycle.
