The external steering gear is damaged. When a car turns, the steering wheel is designed to automatically return to the center position. This is intentionally designed to enhance the car's handling and driving stability. The key factors are the caster angle and the kingpin inclination, with the caster angle having the greatest influence. The front wheels of the car are independent suspensions, so there is no physical kingpin, just a virtual line. The wheels rotate around an axis, which is referred to as the kingpin. Below is an introduction to the steering wheel: 1. Steering Wheel Overview: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. 2. Steering Wheel Function: The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft.
