Why should the steering wheel be straightened after parking?
1 Answers
The reason why the steering wheel should be straightened after parking: Not returning it to the straight position will affect the caster angle of the front wheels. When the steering wheel is turned to a certain angle, it actually lifts the car, causing the tie rods to experience tension and compression forces. If left fixed at a certain angle for a prolonged period, it can easily lead to tie rod deformation, affecting driving performance. The steering wheel is the wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering column. It mainly consists of a frame, foam padding, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver's airbag (DAB).
