The heaviness of the steering wheel is one of the most common failures of the steering system. If it is not repaired in time, it will cause a lot of physical exertion for the driver, and it will be difficult to adjust the direction angle in an emergency, which will eventually lead to accidents. There are many reasons for heavy steering, the following are some of the most common reasons!
Lack of oil in the tie rod head and kingpin
If the vehicle's front axle tie rod ball joint and kingpin are not greased for a long time, the kingpin and pressure bearing will be rusted, resulting in a heavy turning direction and hairpin phenomenon.
Solution: Apply butter to the main pin and the tie rod ball head. If the butter still fails, you need to remove the main pin and replace the main pin repair kit. A tractor steering knob can also be installed to aid in vehicle steering control.
The booster pump belt is too loose
Because the belt of the booster pump is too loose and the speed of the booster pump is too slow, the pressure is too low, and when the steering wheel is turned, there will be a phenomenon of a heavy steering.
Solution: Replace the booster pump belt or manually adjust the booster pump belt.
The oil inlet pipe of the booster pump is blocked
There is a filter in the oil cup of the booster pump. If the oil filter is not replaced for a long time, the oil intake of the booster pump will be insufficient, so the steering will be heavy if the booster is not good, and the rotation direction will be stuck.
Insufficient tire inflation levels
Tires should be properly inflated and up to standard. If this is not the case, then the control of the vehicle suffers, as does the steering. At the proper level of inflation, a tire is able to perform its job of carrying a vehicle smoothly. When the inflation level is below the mark, the ability of the tire to bear the weight of the vehicle will be affected, so the handling of the vehicle will be poor. When air pressure is low, the tires take on extra load to keep the vehicle moving. As a result, the overall controllability of the car deteriorates. As a result, the steering response is reduced and the steering is loose.
Therefore, in order to bring about the best steering and control, the air pressure in the Meridian must be right. This ultimately guarantees overall performance and contributes to better vehicle control and tighter steering.
