Why is the steering wheel too heavy?
1 Answers
Reasons for a heavy steering wheel: 1. Power steering pump failure: When the pump pressure of the power steering pump fails to meet the standard value, the steering wheel will feel heavy. 2. Steering gear failure: When the power steering oil pressure is low, the steering will feel heavy. 3. Lack of oil or air in the power steering system: Air in the power steering system not only makes steering heavy but also causes noise during steering. 4. Clogged return oil filter in the oil reservoir: If the return oil filter in the oil reservoir is not maintained or replaced for a long time, it can easily become clogged, leading to poor circulation of power steering oil and a heavier steering wheel. Avoiding full lock when turning can help protect the steering wheel to some extent, effectively reduce steering wheel vibration issues, make steering smoother, and extend the lifespan of the car's steering wheel.
