Why You Shouldn't Turn Your Car Steering Wheel All the Way: An Unexpected Consequence of a Common Mistake
Many owners of vehicles equipped with power steering quite often perform one dangerous action.
They turn the steering wheel all the way.
Motorists do this in order to make a U-turn very quickly and easily.
It often happens that the steering wheel, which is in the extreme position, begins to be held by the driver with force.
This does not end well. So try to give up this dangerous habit.
Consequences of turning the steering wheel to the stop
In this situation (and if the steering wheel remains in this position for a long time) a sharp increase in pressure occurs in the hydraulic system.
It's all because of the overly "pressing" liquid.
The load on the system increases significantly. First of all, serious problems arise with the pipes: they can burst.
It is also possible that the power steering pump is not working properly.
Want to avoid this scenario? Then turn the steering wheel correctly!
At some point you had to bring the steering wheel to the extreme position? Do not hold the steering wheel there for too long! Maximum - 3 seconds.
Then turn the steering wheel a little in the other direction.
