What to Do When the Steering Wheel Feels Lighter on One Side?

[SanHenry]

Solutions for a steering wheel feeling lighter on one side: 1. Check if the tire pressure is normal; 2. Inspect the steering gear; 3. Examine the chassis suspension; 4. Perform a four-wheel alignment. Causes of a steering wheel feeling lighter on one side: 1. The spool of the steering control valve deviates from the center position, resulting in inconsistent gaps with the valve body shoulders; 2. Contaminants inside the control valve cause different resistance levels when turning left or right; 3. Air enters the oil chamber of the power cylinder in the hydraulic system; 4. Oil leakage in the hydraulic circuit. The correct way to hold the steering wheel is to imagine it as a clock face, with the left hand positioned between 9 and 10 o'clock and the right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock, keeping the hands in a left-high, right-low position for more reasonable steering control.
