What Causes Loose Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
The reason for a loose steering wheel may be due to steering wheel free play. Steering Wheel Free Play: Steering wheel free play refers to the free movement (also called free rotation or travel) of the steering wheel. From a professional perspective, it is the angle the steering wheel can turn without causing the steering wheels to deviate. Generally, a free play within 15-20 degrees is not considered a fault. If the steering gear is not power-assisted, it indicates an internal issue with the steering gear, which usually requires replacing the steering gear. Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft.
