Introduction

Steering while stationary, often referred to as “dry steering,” is a common practice, especially when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. Although it may be convenient for the driver, this method has potential drawbacks for your vehicle. In this article, we’ll highlight the effects of steering while stationary on various components of your car.

Tire wear

Steering while stationary significantly increases tire wear. Since the tires have no room to move, they must rub against the road surface to change direction. This can lead to uneven wear of the tires.

Steering load

The steering mechanisms, in particular the steering rod and steering gear, are subjected to greater stress if you steer while stationary. This can lead to premature wear of these parts and increase the need for expensive repairs.

Fuel consumption

Although the effect on fuel consumption is minimal, it is still worth noting that steering while stationary requires more energy and can therefore slightly increase fuel consumption.

Hydraulic fluid

Cars with hydraulic power steering may experience increased stress on the hydraulic fluid, resulting in increased heating and potential damage.

Recommendations

  • Try to get the car moving slightly before changing direction. This reduces the load on the various components.
  • Regularly check the condition of your tires and steering mechanisms, especially if you frequently steer while stationary.
  • Consider investing in power steering if your car doesn’t have it. This can reduce the load on the steering components.

Conclusion

Steering while stationary may be unavoidable in some situations, but it’s important to understand the potential impact on your vehicle. By taking simple precautions and performing regular maintenance, you can minimize the negative effects.
