The knuckle arm of the steering unit does not have sufficient strength, and frequent operations that put a high level of stress on the steering unit such as dry steering over a long time can cause it to crack. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the cracked knuckle arm, in the worst case, the knuckle arm could break, making steering impossible.
