    The reasons for the steering wheel sinking are: 1. Insufficient booster oil, 2. Tire pressure is too low, 3. Bearing fit is too tight, 4. Booster problem, which can be dealt with according to the actual situation.

    1. Insufficient booster oil.

    Generally, the feeling of the weight of the direction is relatively constant, if it suddenly becomes very heavy one day, or slowly becomes heavier, it may be that the steering power oil is dirty, it is similar to the engine oil, and it needs to be replaced. Or if there is less oil leakage, then there is less power, so the steering wheel becomes very heavy. In this case, it is necessary to maintain it in time, or to add and change the steering oil.

    2. The tire pressure is too low.

    If the tire pressure is too low, the area of contact between the tire and the road surface will increase, the friction will increase, and the steering difficulty will increase, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety.

    3. The bearing fit is too tight.

    For a rolling bearing connected to each steering system, it is also closely matched with the sliding bearing, so it will lead to the lubrication of the bearing can not be well run, which will affect the phenomenon of stagnation, causing the steering wheel to become sinking, this situation should check the mechanical part and the power assist system, or rule out whether there is a leakage of the inlet seal damage phenomenon.

    4. Booster problem.

    The relationship between the steering wheel and the booster is inseparable, so when the steering wheel becomes very heavy, it is likely that there are some poor circuit contacts or other problems inside the booster system, which should be repaired by the 4th shop.

    One is hydraulic assistance, and the other is electronic hydraulic assistance: when there is a lack of auxiliary oil, the steering wheel will sink, and the power booster pump will "hum" at the same time as steering; Electronic power assist: At present, the most power assist mode, hydraulic pressure is gradually replaced by electronic control, because it is provided by electricity, and the steering wheel is very light.

    1.The weight of the steering wheel is likely to be a problem with the steering oil The hydraulic power steering system is to hit the steering wheel, and there is a shaft connected to the bottom through the steering wheel, and there is a set of hydraulic systems. With the strength of one hand, the hydraulic pressure will become the strength of ten hands, and then the steering wheel will be easy.

    This kind of power assist system basically hits the light and heavy direction.

    2.The bearing fit is too tight The rolling bearing and the East China bearing connected to the steering system are too tight, which will lead to poor lubrication of the bearing and the formation of stagnation. There are two specific manifestations of the direction heavy, one.

    3.There was a problem with the booster. The relationship between the steering wheel and the booster is naturally inseparable.

    The reasons why the steering wheel of the car becomes heavier: 1, if it is hydraulic assistance, check whether the power assist oil is lacking, whether there is oil leakage, the lack of oil needs to be replenished to the normal range, there is no shortage of oil to check whether the power pump belt is too loose, too loose needs to tighten the belt, and check whether the oil is too dirty resulting in poor fluidity, generally replaced once every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, 2, if it is electronically assisted, check.

    The reason why the steering wheel of a car is heavy:

    1. Insufficient booster oil.

    Booster oil is the main driving force that drives our car, so when there is a shortage of booster oil, it is naturally difficult for our car to drive, let alone turn and change direction.

    2. Help the uncleanness of the oil.

    If it is difficult for our car to move the steering wheel when steering, it is possible that our booster oil is mixed with unclean gas mixtures or impurities, which causes the booster oil to not work normally and pushes the car to drive.

    3. There is a problem with the booster.

    The relationship between the steering wheel and the booster is naturally inseparable, and when the steering wheel becomes heavy, it is likely that there is a poor circuit contact inside the booster system or some other problem.

    Extended information: The steering wheel "dressing" is not easy to control.

    1. What are the effects and hazards of using steering wheel covers on driving? According to the traffic patrol police, the temperature is low in winter, people's reaction ability and perception will decrease, and the use of steering wheel covers increases the difficulty of the driver's control.

    2. Winter rain and snow weather, road icing phenomenon is frequent, the use of steering wheel sleeve will reduce the friction between the steering wheel and the hand, in the case of rain and snow road slippery, sharp turning road conditions when the steering wheel is not easy to control, easy to control the slip, in the handling of emergency conditions are not conducive to safe disposal, the steering wheel is easy to get out of hand, affect safety, cause accidents.

    3. The driver can also perceive the road surface conditions through the vibration of the steering wheel, especially when driving at high speed or making sharp turns, and can make emergency treatment through the steering wheel in time. After using the steering wheel cover, the friction between the hand and the steering wheel will be reduced to a certain extent, and the driver's perception and judgment of road conditions will be weakened.

    4. It is easy to slip the steering wheel at critical moments when using the steering wheel cover. Especially for female car owners with petite palms, it is not suitable to use a steering wheel cover that is too thick, otherwise it is difficult to completely hold and put on"Clothes"rear steering wheel, which affects driving safety. Therefore, the traffic patrol police reminded that the steering wheel cover will increase the risk of driving, and similar products should be avoided as much as possible.

    It may be because the car tire positioning is not accurate, the tire pressure is too low, the line is faulty, the motor is damaged, and the steering wheel is very heavy due to these reasons, because when the tire pressure is too low, the steering wheel will protrude, and it will obviously feel very heavy, and there is no other place to help you share this force.

    My car feels heavier after the first insurance, but it should be assisted, I feel heavier than when I first picked up the car, this is not a standard measurement, go to the ssss shop, the master said that the help is normal, I can't say anything, heavy or not heavy is not easy to measure. Overall, the vista is still on the heavy side at low speeds or when steering on the spot.

Go to the repair shop to check the tires and chassis suspension and other components to confirm that there is no abnormality, and then check and adjust the four-wheel alignment, do not blindly adjust, if it is a suspension problem, you have to adjust the four-wheel alignment after maintenance, under normal circumstances, adjusting the four-wheel alignment can be solved. If the tire pressure is abnormal, the vehicle will drive to the side with low air pressure, and when the vehicle goes straight, the direction will shift, and the inaccurate four-wheel alignment data of the vehicle will also cause the vehicle to drive the steering wheel incorrectly. There is a drag brake phenomenon on one side of the steering wheel, which causes the unilateral resistance of the vehicle to increase, so that the vehicle should adjust the direction to keep the vehicle running normally when driving, so that the vehicle is not in the right direction.
