What happens here
Now, attach the wheels to the installed axles. This usually involves sliding each wheel onto an axle, followed by a washer and then a locking nut or cap. A wrench may be needed to tighten the nuts, and a hammer might be used to gently tap on retaining caps. Next, assemble the steering column, which often involves a few pieces that fit together, and then connect it to the steering mechanism within the car's body. Finally, secure the steering wheel to the top of the steering column. The time-lapse shows these components coming together.
Goal: Attach all four wheels and assemble the complete steering system.
