Can’t steer while stationary?
You can often observe it when parking from the side: steering while stationary. In some cases, steering is even done with the brake pressed. Why is it that, if you park or steer like this often, it greatly promotes wear and tear harmful to the steering is, we explain below:
By steering while stationary, the Mechanics of the front axle extremely stressed. The steering works hard against the stationary wheel. Depending on the vehicle, the steering gear and parts such as the servo pump are heavily loaded and wear out prematurely. The same applies to old vehicles without power steering, with them you also clearly notice that it is much more difficult to steer when stationary than when the tires are moving.
Therefore: Avoid steering while stationary! Even a very slow rolling of the wheel is enough to relieve the mechanical system when steering.
