What Causes the Left Side to Be Too Wide When Reversing into a Left Parking Space?
1 Answers
The reasons for the left side being too wide when reversing into a left parking space include turning the steering wheel too late and incorrect distance between the car body and the parking corner. Turning the steering wheel too late: If the steering wheel is turned too late at the starting point, even if you don't adjust the direction and park in one go, the right side will still be too narrow. Due to the different turning radii of the car's left and right turns, the steering point for reversing into a left parking space is usually a bit earlier than for a right parking space. Therefore, when reversing, it's essential to maintain a steady speed. When reversing from the right side, pay attention to the distance between the car body and the right side—if it's more than three fingers wide, no adjustment is needed; if it's less, you should straighten the steering wheel. Incorrect distance between the car body and the parking corner: In this case, continue reversing the car while maintaining the left full-lock position without straightening the wheel. Wait until the rear of the car shifts from parallel to leaning left and the left side width decreases before straightening the wheel. After straightening, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right to align the car body.
