A normal steering angle is the amount of rotation required to turn a vehicle's wheels in order to change direction. Generally, it should be within a range of 10°-15° when turning left or right. A larger steering angle may indicate worn suspension components or misaligned wheels:
• Steering angles greater than 15° could suggest poor wheel alignment;
• Uneven amounts of steering angle on both sides imply suspension problems;
• Excessive play in the steering wheel can also indicate faulty parts;
• Low speed turns require less steering input than high-speed manoeuvres.
