Steering wheel

Steering Wheel

The steering wheel is the primary interface between the driver and the vehicle’s steering system. It allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle by turning the front wheels.

Function

The steering wheel is connected to the steering column and linked to the steering mechanism. It converts rotational force from the driver into movement of the vehicle’s wheels.

Maintenance

Regularly check for wear and tear, ensure the wheel is firmly secured, and inspect for any unusual play or noise during operation.

Failure Modes

Common issues include loose steering, worn steering wheel coverings, or malfunction of the controls integrated into the wheel (e.g., buttons).
