all auta - Leaving the car with the wheels not straight ahead

When parking parallel, when the road is inclined - it is better to leave the wheels twisted so that if it rolls down, it will stop, e.g. on the curb, and not fly backwards. I once heard a stop with twisted wheels has an effect on the wear of the steering gear. Is that a myth? I do not know. I always leave the car straight and it came in handy once - someone pawed me and I had to push the car forward.

I do not understand if you blocked the door or what?

Someone further (on the other side of the parking lot) left a lot of space, so one place was narrower, someone put a large car there - and practically, if I didn't open the door - the distance from mine was maybe 15cm (I was parked backwards, he Also, so it had the passenger door on my driver's side. There were some bushes on the other side, so to avoid scratches I parked backwards. so I dropped it through the window and pushed it. For this I scratched myself all the way. If he had parked in front, it would only have blocked the passenger door on the other side of the car. But that's not it :D

And with those twisted wheels, it's probably a myth. Though I'd love to read about it from a scientific point of view


Edit: I will complete my entry: What if I finish parking with turns? You can also hear to avoid spinning the wheels in place. And here it would actually have its justification - the tires are scrubbed on the surface, and the steering system is heavily loaded. But sometimes you have to. On the hill, of course, I leave them on the twisted, but on the straight, on the straight. It's a bit like whether to leave it on the run or on the hand. The most important thing is not to go crazy

I think so too.

Well, but to block the steering wheel, with the keys removed, you need to make at least half, 3/4 turn of the wheel.

Well, maybe I have something wrong, because in my case the blockage catches right away, and this is how it is from the news.

So if the blockade is not surprising, I can leave the car with the wheels NOT in front of it at will?

I would join the question.
Apparently, if you leave it twisted, it is harder to lock and unlock the steering wheel. Out of curiosity, I think I will check ...

Really. When I turn the wheels some angle, it is harder to unlock the steering wheel (you have to use a lot of force), but it also depends on the position of the steering wheel ... So there is something wrong. I just checked :)

1. Do not leave the vehicle with the wheels fully turned to the extreme end.
2. Do not spin the wheels in place.

It seems logical to me too, and I follow it.

Always maneuvering, I try to roll slowly, but sometimes there are situations when you have to.

hello everyone, even if the car has an electric heart lock, the principle of the lock is standard as well as other solutions, i.e. we park the car, it does not matter whether it is straight or twisted, it is important not to turn off the engine by stretching the steering wheel and with the wear of the suspension elements at a standstill, they are afraid

Without exaggeration. After all, if I finish parking with the wheels not straight ahead, I will not be spinning in place.
Sometimes it is only practical if you leave it straight (I wrote earlier).

It seems to me that you are terribly oversensitive about the point of your car ... And that's not good at all.
