Steering column damage can be repaired. Below are detailed explanations about the steering column: 1. Symptoms of Damage: Main symptoms of a damaged steering column include the vehicle pulling to one side on straight roads, heavier steering feel, increased free play, oversteering or understeering, steering wheel vibration, and unusual noises during steering. 2. Primary Function: It minimizes driver injury during collisions. The application of energy-absorbing steering columns significantly enhances the energy absorption capability of automotive steering systems, reducing the rearward displacement of the steering wheel during frontal collisions. This decreases the severity of secondary injuries to occupants and improves the vehicle's passive safety performance.

What Causes the Rear Wheel to Smoke and Get Very Hot?

Prolonged braking or the brake caliper not retracting properly causes friction against the brake disc, leading to overheating. Inspection of the Wheel Hub Bearing: Use tools such as a jack stand and wheel chocks to securely lift the vehicle. Maintenance of the Wheel Hub Bearing: Before removing the wheel hub, prepare for maintenance by parking the vehicle securely and lifting the axle to ensure safety during the operation. Brake System Inspection: When inspecting the wheel hub bearing, also check the wheel braking mechanism. If there are oil stains on the inside of the tire, it is likely caused by leakage from the brake wheel cylinder or brake fluid line. The cause should be identified and addressed promptly.

What is Car Suspension?

Car suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car frame and the axle or wheels. It consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, buffer blocks, and a lateral stabilizer bar. It can be classified into: 1. Passive suspension systems and active suspension systems based on different control forms; 2. Independent suspension systems and non-independent suspension systems based on different guiding mechanisms of the car. The functions of car suspension are: 1. Transmitting forces and torque between the wheels and the frame; 2. Buffering the impact and vibrations transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body; 3. Ensuring that the wheels move within a fixed angle to maintain steering stability; 4. Supporting the weight of the wheels; 5. Maintaining good contact between the wheels and the ground.
