Why does the steering wheel not return to the center position?

Damage to the external steering gear or an overly tight adjustment of the steering gear's free play adjustment bolt can also cause the steering not to return. Here is an introduction to the related content: Self-centering: Self-centering performance is a fundamental characteristic of a vehicle and an important evaluation metric for its handling performance. All motor vehicles, regardless of the type of steering system or whether they have power assistance, should have the ability to return to center, especially while driving. It may be difficult to return to the straight position when stationary, but there should still be some self-centering force. Function: The automatic self-centering function of the steering wheel is one of the most basic capabilities of a car. Whether it has power steering or not, whether it's hydraulic or electronic power steering, it does not affect the self-centering effect of the steering wheel. As for why a car's steering wheel can automatically return to center, this is related to the design of the car's front suspension and certain parameters.
