What is the relationship between the steering wheel direction and the car direction?
2 Answers
The steering wheel controls the direction of the rear of the car. When the steering wheel is turned to the left, the rear of the car will turn to the left, and vice versa. This applies to both forward and reverse driving. Related introduction: 1. Introduction: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. In the 1950s, concept cars without steering wheels were introduced one after another, but consumers were not interested in such cars at all. Because a car without a steering wheel simply cannot be called a car. 2. Composition: The frame is generally made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. Some manufacturers are trying to use cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys. The frame is produced by die-casting. A few manufacturers still use steel sheet metal as the frame, which has a complex structure.
When I first learned to drive, I also often got confused about the relationship between the steering wheel and the wheels. Actually, it's quite simple: turn the steering wheel to the left, and the wheels will follow by turning left; turn it to the right, and the wheels will go right. It's just like directly linking the handlebars of a bicycle. However, the steering wheel needs to be turned several times more to get the wheels to turn fully, because cars use steering gear mechanisms to amplify control precision. When repairing cars, I found that if there's play in the steering wheel or the steering gear is leaking oil, the wheel response becomes sluggish, and it's time to quickly check the tie rods and ball joints. Remember, the steering wheel's turning range is always greater than that of the wheels—this is the foundation of safe driving.
