What to Do If Beginners Can't Tell Whether the Steering Wheel Is Straight?
1 Answers
Here are some techniques for straightening the steering wheel: 1. Feel the weight: Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees left and right while stationary to sense its weight. When the steering wheel is straight, turning it 90 degrees feels lighter, whereas turning it 90 degrees after a full rotation feels tighter. Alternatively, try turning it one full rotation to determine whether it's currently straight or turned 180 degrees. 2. Move forward and backward: Use slight forward or backward movement to check if the steering wheel is straight. After parking, move slightly forward or backward. If you can't remember how many turns the steering wheel has made, this movement can help you determine its position and adjust accordingly while moving. 3. Check tire direction: Stick your head out the window to observe whether the tires are straight. Observing while driving makes it easier to straighten the steering wheel. 4. Look at the steering wheel emblem: Whether you've turned the wheel half a rotation or fully, you don't need to worry about degrees when straightening—just ensure the emblem returns to its upward-facing position.
