What makes a car steering wheel return to the straight position after turning?

When you turn a corner in a car, i've noticed that you can let the wheel return to the straight position of it's own accord (i'm way too young to drive so yes i only just noticed). Is this because of inertia or just little springs holding the steering wheel?

It is the same principle as to why your bike tire naturally faces straight forward when you are riding with no hands.

When there is forward movement, that is the direction the tire will go when it is given incentive to (pressing the gas or peddaling your bike)

The fact that the back tires are always facing straight is also another reason. It is because the car naturally wants to move straight ahead on a flat surface, so if you leave the wheel alone, it will make it's way back there eventually.

Buying a Steering Wheel Cover

There are many great accessories for cars that are both efficient and fun. Sometimes these accessories are beneficial to the health of your car. Anything that benefits your vehicle is always a healthy investment. A steering wheel cover may not sound like something that is considered a necessity. However, it really can go a long way in keeping your steering wheel in decent shape. Not only does it protect the steering wheel but it also allows you to be decorative and show off your personality. They are incredibly easy to find, sold almost anywhere that sells auto parts and accessories. 

Price is rarely an issue when it comes to purchasing a steering wheel cover. They come in many price ranges from very inexpensive to higher end. Some custom covers may cost more because they are more original than some. You can pick up a decent steering wheel cover at Wal-Mart for as little as five dollars. Of course, quality is often represented by price so keep that in mind as you do your shopping. The lowest price may not be the best deal if it will not hold up all that long. That does not mean that you will have to buy the most expensive one either. Find a happy medium if that is what works best for you.

Some steering wheel covers are made of soft, stretchy material while others are made of harder material that is more rigid. A more flexible one might be easier to put on. Always make sure to measure your steering wheel before you buy a cover to avoid buying one that does not fit. Even the smallest measurement difference can be a problem and prevent the cover from fitting properly. You may also want to ensure that the material will not rip or tear easily either. 

Buying any kind of accessories for your car is fun because it allows you the chance to be creative. You can buy steering wheel covers in a wide variety of colors or patterns. Choose your favorite color or match the color of your vehicle. You can even get covers that come in fun prints like animal or stripes and checkers. There really is no limit to the types of accessory options available to you. There are many places to buy these steering wheel covers as well. Do some online browsing and you are likely to find tons of places where you can customize your cover. 

Wheelskins.com is one site where you will easily find the right steering wheel cover for your car. There are so many to select from. You can even get one that is ergonomic and designed for a comfortable feel. A good steering wheel cover can maintain the life and material of your wheel. This is important because it is an essential component of your car. Take care of all parts of your car, not just the engine. Everything plays a vital role one way or another. Take care of your car and have fun doing it. There is no reason not to enjoy auto accessories.
