What does it mean when a steering wheel-like light comes on in the car?
1 Answers
When a steering wheel-like light comes on in the car, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's power steering system. At this point, the steering wheel may become harder to turn or completely fail, requiring the vehicle to be stopped immediately for inspection and repair. The vehicle's steering gear requires regular replacement of lubricating oil, and the vehicle should be lifted periodically to check for oil leaks in the steering gear. Any issues should be promptly repaired or replaced. After replacing the steering gear, it is necessary to add power steering fluid and perform a four-wheel alignment before the vehicle can be used normally. If the vehicle's steering becomes heavy, the steering gear should be checked for problems.
