Is it bad to turn the steering wheel to full lock? I’ve heard multiple rumors but not a definitive answer

Throughout all the muscle cars ive been around, steering lock hasnt affected them.

Based on what i know, a 4x4 wouldnt be happy by doing that.
As with other modern cars, i dunno bout them kinds of cars

Turning to full steering lock is not a bad thing to do you might have heard that it is bacause in hydraulic power steering sytems turning to lock puts full load on the system which could blow out a bad seal but you would probably want that to happen when you are at full lock rather than swerving on the highway at 120km/h

Depends on how hard you hit full lock
If you hit it often you might want to get it looked at annually
If its once in awhile then its fine

And it depends on the steering system aswell

It’s fine just don’t try and force it past lock.

As long as the tires/wheels dont rub anything at full lock or the suspension doesn’t bind alot youre fine
