Why is the steering wheel not straight when the car is moving straight?
1 Answers
The steering wheel is not straight when the car is moving straight due to the following reasons: 1. Abnormal or uneven tire wear, causing the tire contact surface to tilt, resulting in misalignment or deviation; 2. Uneven tire pressure, causing the car to pull toward the side with lower pressure, leading to directional offset when moving straight; 3. Incorrect four-wheel alignment data, which can also cause the steering wheel to be misaligned during driving; 4. One-sided brake drag on the steering wheel, increasing resistance on one side, requiring directional adjustment to maintain normal driving, leading to misalignment; 5. Deformation of the vehicle's sway bar; 6. Damaged shock absorbers; 7. Steering gear malfunction.
