What Causes Uneven Steering Resistance (Left Light, Right Heavy)?
1 Answers
Steering wheel resistance imbalance (left light, right heavy) generally has three causes: 1. Seal leakage: When turning the steering wheel, one side feels lighter while the other feels heavier. This symptom usually occurs due to leakage in the seal responsible for maintaining pressure in one side's high-pressure chamber. 2. Improper limit valve adjustment: Another possibility is incorrect adjustment of the directional limit valve. In such cases, prompt repair at a 4S shop is recommended. 3. Steering gear damage: When a vehicle's steering gear is damaged, symptoms may include uneven steering resistance, vehicle drift, and difficulty turning. This situation is particularly troublesome and requires professional inspection and repair at a repair shop or 4S store.
