Why is the steering wheel crooked when driving straight?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why the steering wheel is crooked when driving straight: 1. The steering wheel is misaligned. When you let go of the steering wheel while driving, the car does not deviate. This is simply a case of the steering wheel being misaligned, where the steering wheel and steering column have undergone relative rotational displacement. 2. The vehicle deviates when the steering wheel is released. This is a case of the car pulling to one side, requiring a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing of the car. 3. Steering gear malfunction. 4. The vehicle's sway bar underneath is deformed. A crooked steering wheel means the car needs the steering wheel to be turned at a certain angle to maintain straight-line driving. If the steering wheel is level, the car cannot drive straight, and the steering wheel cannot automatically return to its original position after being tilted for a turn.
