What Causes Steering Wheel Instability During Straight-Line Driving?

[LoganMarie]

Steering wheel instability during straight-line driving occurs because the direction was not properly aligned before entering the straight path. If the steering wheel is not held firmly, it may wobble, and even slight movements can be detected as instability. Below are some tips for maintaining straight-line driving: 1. During straight-line driving, look far ahead and pay attention to both sides. Select a reference point to maintain a straight path, promptly correct the direction, and always be aware of traffic conditions ahead to respond in time. 2. "Look far but also stay aware of the near." Hold the steering wheel correctly, and adjust your focus distance based on speed. At higher speeds, look farther ahead; at lower speeds, focus slightly closer while using peripheral vision to monitor the vehicle's surroundings. 3. When correcting direction, make small, early adjustments—push and pull the wheel with both hands in coordination to keep the vehicle moving straight. If you feel the car veering, make minimal adjustments and immediately return the steering wheel to the neutral position.
