Will the Steering Wheel Screw Loosen?
1 Answers
There is no screw; the steering wheel has one fixing screw in the very center, under the airbag. Reasons for a loose steering wheel: Severe wear of the steering gear and tie rod end; clearance caused by wear of the steering universal joint; the horn button area of the steering wheel has a gear-shaped shaft, and the grooves on the gear-shaped shaft are also worn out; whether there is any clearance in the steering ball joint; steering system malfunction. Steering Wheel: The earliest cars used a tiller to control driving. This transmitted the intense vibrations generated during driving to the driver, making it more difficult to control the direction. When the engine was relocated to the front of the vehicle, the increased weight made it impossible for the driver to continue using the tiller. The new design of the steering wheel emerged, introducing a gear system between the driver and the wheels that was flexible to operate and effectively isolated the intense vibrations from the road. Moreover, a good steering wheel system can provide the driver with a sense of intimate connection with the road.
