Why does the car move to the left when the steering wheel is turned to the right while reversing?
1 Answers
No, when reversing backward, turning the steering wheel to the left makes the car reverse to the left, and turning it to the right makes the car reverse to the right. Here is the relevant information: 1. Principle: The steering shaft is the transmission component connecting the steering wheel and the steering gear. The steering column tube is fixed to the car body, and the steering shaft passes through the steering column tube, supported by bearings and bushings inside the column tube. During a collision, the steering column tube and steering shaft at the front of the car move backward, toward the driver's chest, while the driver, influenced by inertia, moves toward the steering wheel. Part of the energy is absorbed by the restraint system, and the other part is transmitted to the steering wheel and steering column tube. A good automotive steering system should minimize the driver's injury in the event of a collision. 2. Function: The application of energy-absorbing steering column tubes in automotive steering systems plays a significant role in energy absorption. The role of energy-absorbing steering columns during a collision demonstrates that this structure reduces the rearward displacement of the steering wheel during a frontal collision, decreases the severity of secondary injuries to occupants, and improves the passive safety performance of the car.
