What is the phenomenon of unstable steering wheel?
1 Answers
The phenomenon of unstable steering wheel refers to the front wheels wobbling, the steering wheel shaking, and a tingling sensation in the hands while driving. The following are the reasons for an unstable steering wheel: 1. Excessive meshing clearance in the steering gear transmission pair, excessive clearance or wear in the upper and lower bearings of the steering worm, leading to increased steering wheel play. 2. Wear and looseness in the longitudinal and transverse tie rod ball joints, or loose fastening nuts. 3. Loose spline fit in the steering arm or loose fastening nuts. 4. Severe wear in the steering knuckle kingpin and bushing, resulting in increased clearance. 5. Excessive axial clearance in the front wheel hub bearings. 6. Loose fastening nuts on the steering knuckle arm or loose U-bolts on the front leaf springs.
