What Causes the Steering Wheel to Be Misaligned in a Sedan?
1 Answers
Reasons for a misaligned steering wheel in a car include: 1. After the vehicle has been used for some time, steering wheel misalignment may occur, which can be related to tire pressure, tire wear, wear of chassis components, or wheel alignment. First, measure the tire pressure on both sides. When the tire pressure on both sides is inconsistent, the vehicle will tend to drive toward the side with lower pressure. If the tread wear on the two front tires is uneven, it can also cause the vehicle to pull to one side. 2. If there are no issues with the tires, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to inspect the condition of the chassis components. Changes in wheel alignment values can also lead to steering wheel misalignment after some use. Additionally, the tie rod may have shifted to one side, causing the steering wheel to be misaligned.
