1 Answers
Car steering wheel becomes heavy due to: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Internal failure of the power assist system; 4. Poor bearing lubrication. Solutions for heavy steering wheel include: 1. Replenishing hydraulic power steering fluid; 2. Replacing circuit fuses; 3. Changing flat bearings and supplementing kingpin grease; 4. Increasing lubrication for tie rod end ball joints. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, triple-spoke, and quad-spoke designs. Their working principle involves transmitting torque to the rack-and-pinion mechanism, thereby enabling wheels to turn left or right.
