Why is the steering wheel not straight when the car drives straight?
1 Answers
The reasons for the steering wheel not being straight when driving straight are as follows: 1. Wear and looseness of the steering tie rod ball joint pin, or loose fastening nuts. 2. Severe wear of the steering knuckle kingpin and bushing, leading to increased clearance. 3. Excessive axial clearance of the front wheel hub bearings or wear. Here is additional information about the steering wheel not being straight when driving straight: 1. Check if the tire pressure is too high on one side or too low on the other, and inspect the tires for any issues, such as whether the tread patterns are consistent and the tread depth is uniform. 2. Check if the steering wheel is properly centered. During use, situations like sharp turns can cause the steering wheel to not return to the correct position. Sometimes it may look normal visually, but it is not. The steering wheel return can be repaired.
