What Causes One Side to Be Wider Than the Other When Reversing into a Parking Space?
1 Answers
The main reason for one side being wider than the other when reversing into a parking space is turning the steering wheel too early or too late during the reversing process. Below are different scenarios and their solutions: 1. "Left Narrow, Right Wide": When you notice that the distance between the right rear wheel and the right corner of the parking space is too wide, in addition to turning the steering wheel 1+1/4 turns to the right, turn it another 1/4 turn to the right. This will gradually reduce the distance between the right rear wheel and the right corner of the parking space. Use the side mirror to visually confirm the appropriate distance, then straighten the car body. 2. "Left Wide, Right Narrow": When you notice that the distance between the right rear wheel and the right corner of the parking space is too narrow, after turning the steering wheel 1+1/4 turns to the right, slightly turn the steering wheel back to the left. This will gradually increase the distance between the right rear wheel and the right corner of the parking space.
