Why does the car go straight only when the steering wheel is slightly tilted?

The reason why the car goes straight only when the steering wheel is slightly tilted: It may be due to an issue with the adjustment of the car's tie rod angle. If the steering wheel is not tilted too much, it can be fixed by adjusting the tie rod. Here are the specific steps: 1. Shorten the left tie rod: First, prepare a wrench, then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel. Use the wrench to loosen the fastening nut, then rotate the left tie rod clockwise. Clockwise rotation refers to the position of the tie rod relative to the tie rod base; 'screwing in' the left tie rod means shortening it. 2. Lengthen the right tie rod: Repeat the previous steps, turning the steering wheel all the way to the left to expose the rear of the right front wheel. Similarly, use the wrench to loosen the fastening nut, then rotate the right tie rod counterclockwise. 'Screwing out' the right tie rod means lengthening it.
