Why Has the Car Steering Wheel Become Heavier?
1 Answers
The reasons why the car steering wheel has become heavier: 1. The power steering fluid is dirty. Generally, after driving for 2 to 3 years, if the steering wheel becomes heavier, the power steering fluid needs to be replaced. 2. Power steering fluid leakage or a decrease in fluid level can also cause the steering to become heavier. 3. If the bearings in the steering system are too tight, the tie rod end is adjusted too tightly, or the steering shaft and sleeve are bent and cause jamming, the steering wheel may become heavier. Therefore, a comprehensive inspection is necessary. 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. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the corresponding mounting clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).
