What are the reasons for the heavy steering wheel of Changan CX20?
1 Answers
Introduction to the reasons for the heavy steering wheel of Changan CX20: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid/oil: Power steering fluid is a medium oil used in the car's power steering pump, which plays a role in transmitting steering force and buffering. The power steering fluid needs to be replaced regularly and checked for leakage. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering will become heavy and stiff. 2. Low tire pressure: Low tire pressure will increase the contact area between the tire and the road surface, increase friction, make steering more difficult, and cause the steering wheel to feel heavy, which is not conducive to driving safety. 3. Toe-in: Toe-in can also affect the car's steering. The meaning of toe-in is quite complex, which is to make the steering wheel automatically return to the center and ensure the car can drive straight stably. Therefore, problems in this aspect can also cause the steering to feel heavy. 4. Steering gear and power steering pump failure: The steering gear and power steering pump also affect the car's steering. Any failure of these two important components will cause steering difficulties. Whether it's universal joints, chassis suspension stabilizer bars, plane bearings, etc., none of these issues should be ignored. 5. Overly tight bearing fit: If the rolling bearings and sliding bearings connected to the steering system are too tightly fitted, it will lead to poor lubrication of the bearings and cause jamming.
