parking question

[omodos]

Ok when parking car and leaving car does it do any harm in not having the rear and front wheels aligned ie front steering left turned right or left? heard it is bad from some sources…..but then again my sources maybe bad…..anyone?

Your supposed to turn your front wheels towards the curb if your parking on a hill either facing down wards or up wards..
I dont see how that would harm the car, and i really doubt it would.

I think that is the first time I have ever seen that question.....

I don't think there is any mechanical reason for this.

The only harm it may cause is if the driver wasn't paying attention when they start out again, especially in a tight parking spot. I can see this happening if the steering wheel was 1 full rotation from straight.
