What Causes Heavy Steering Wheel in Cars?
1 Answers
Car steering wheel heaviness can be caused by: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Replacement with different tire models; 3. Damaged or poorly sealed dust boots; 4. Dirty, insufficient, or air-contaminated power steering fluid; 5. Uncalibrated torque sensor; 6. Deformed front wheel suspension or abnormal wheel alignment; 7. Stuck steering column. The steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines, converting the driver's force applied to the wheel's edge into torque transmitted to the steering shaft. Methods to lighten car steering: 1. Start the engine and engage gear, wait 3 seconds; 2. Turn steering wheel fully left/right, wait 3 seconds, then return to center and turn off engine.
