Automotive Steer Wheels of Car 90 Degrees: Possible? How?

AI Thread Summary
Steering a conventional automobile's wheels through 90 degrees is not feasible without significant modifications. Achieving this would require implementing a 4-wheel steering system, which allows for greater maneuverability. However, the necessary changes to the vehicle would be extensive and complex. The discussion raises questions about the purpose behind wanting such a steering capability. Overall, steering a car's wheels to that degree is theoretically possible but practically challenging.

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
