What is the reason for the steering wheel stutter in JAC Refine S3?
2 Answers
JAC Refine S3 steering wheel stutter is mainly caused by insufficient lubrication in the steering column. The following are related details: 1. Introduction: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device in vehicles such as cars and airplanes, used for direction control. The steering wheel consists of a skeleton and foam, with the skeleton typically made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. Currently, research is being conducted to develop cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys for manufacturing car skeletons. 2. Reasons for stutter: If the car's steering wheel stutters during turning, it may be due to insufficient lubrication in the steering column, requiring the addition of appropriate lubricant, or because the car's floor mat is obstructing the steering column, or possibly due to excessive external resistance causing the steering wheel to stutter. The specific cause needs to be diagnosed at a repair center.
I've been driving the JAC Refine S3 for several years, and the issue of steering wheel stiffness is quite common. It's mostly due to problems with the power steering system, such as insufficient power steering fluid pressure or dirty fluid needing replacement. Lack of lubrication can cause the steering gear to seize up. In electric power steering models, it could also be a malfunctioning control module or sensor, leading to a loss of power assistance and making the steering wheel stiff and stuck. Another possibility is rust or wear in the steering column, which can happen if lubrication isn't maintained. Driving with a stiff steering wheel is dangerous and could lead to loss of control, especially at high speeds. I recommend first checking the power steering fluid yourself—if the level is low, top it up with new fluid. If that doesn't help, take it to a 4S shop for a thorough inspection immediately. Don't underestimate this issue—regularly lubricating steering components during maintenance can prevent many problems. Remember, safety always comes first.
