What Causes the Steering Wheel to Become Stiff?
1 Answers
The reasons for a stiff steering wheel are: 1. Dirty power steering fluid; 2. Short circuit or ground fault in the electric power steering fuse; 3. High temperature in the steering gear caused by repeated turning at standstill or low speed with electric power steering; 4. Insufficient tire pressure. Precautions for using the steering wheel include: 1. Do not remove both hands from the steering wheel simultaneously; 2. Keep the positions of the left and right hands on the steering wheel not too close to each other; 3. The amplitude and speed of steering wheel rotation should match the turning angle of the car and the vehicle's speed; 4. Do not hold the steering wheel from the inside; 5. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary to prevent damage to the steering system and tire wear.
