# setSteeringAngle(_:forWheelAt:)

Pivots the specified wheel around its steering axis.

## Declaration

```swift
func setSteeringAngle(_ value: CGFloat, forWheelAt index: Int)
```

## Parameters

- `value`: The angle to set the wheel at relative to its steering axis, in radians.
- `index`: The index, in the vehicle’s doc://com.apple.scenekit/documentation/SceneKit/SCNPhysicsVehicle/wheels array, of the wheel to be pivoted.

## Discussion

Discussion Steering angles are relative to the wheel’s steeringAxis vector. With the default steering axis of {0.0, -1.0, 0.0}, a steering angle of 0.0 represents neutral steering, positive values steer the vehicle to the right, and negative values steer to the left.
