What Causes the Steering Wheel to Become Immovable?
1 Answers
The steering wheel becoming immovable may be due to a malfunction in the locking mechanism, issues with the vehicle's anti-theft system, damage to the power steering pump belt, power steering pump, or steering gear, or severe deformation of the chassis. Common power steering systems include hydraulic and electric power steering. For vehicles with hydraulic power steering, it is necessary to check whether the power steering pump belt is functioning properly and whether the power steering fluid is at the correct level. If these are not the issues, the problem may lie with the power steering pump. For vehicles with electric power steering, check whether the electric power steering connector is properly connected and whether the power supply is functioning correctly. If these are not the issues, the problem may be with the electric steering gear.
