What is the steering play in the XPeng P7?
1 Answers
First, it is the cumulative effect of the mechanical clearance between the steering wheels in the entire steering system. Second, manufacturers intentionally create play through the design of the rack and pinion structure, aiming to ensure that minor passive wheel deflection during acceleration does not affect the driver. Steering wheel play: Steering wheel play refers to the free movement (also known as free angle or travel) of the car's steering wheel. It is the angle the steering wheel can turn without causing the steering wheels to deviate. It results from the combined clearance in the entire steering system and the steering wheels. Causes: The main cause is the habitual practice of turning the steering wheel to its limit. It's best to avoid doing this when stationary; wait until the car has slightly started moving before turning. Additionally, regular wheel alignment checks are recommended.
