What Damage Does Turning the Steering Wheel to Full Lock Cause to the Car?
1 Answers
Turning the steering wheel to full lock does indeed have certain impacts on most modern hydraulic power steering systems. As the steering angle increases, the oil pressure in the power steering pump also rises. When the wheel is turned to full lock, the power steering pump operates under high load. Frequent operation in this state can lead to premature aging and damage, resulting in heavier steering and increased difficulty in turning. Here is some relevant information about car steering wheels: 1. Function: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. 2. Correct Grip: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand positions are left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock and right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock. In the event of a collision, this posture provides better support for the body.
