I find it strange when I see people wait until the car is stopped before they crank the steering wheel when executing a turn about. They put more stress on the steering gears and the tires when done from a dead stop.
'78 Rabbit with manual steering and four on the floor here. I learned the same thing which was to get the car moving before attempting to turn the wheel, even at a very, very slow speed. Still do it to this day evening with powered steering. |

| 58 Corvette and 59 Pontiac Catalina 2dr coup both manual steering. Vette was no problem, but the Pontiac was a bear to park.
