It is recommended to send it to a regular repair shop for inspection. Emergency measures: Inject some engine oil into the crankshaft case, and then drive the car to the nearest repair station for inspection as soon as possible. Reasons for the leakage of the crankshaft rear oil seal: The aging and leakage of the crankshaft rear oil seal may be caused by these three reasons: the crankshaft oil seal was not pressed with non-petroleum-based lubricants or inferior oil seals were used during the pressing process; the parallelism of the rear oil seal pressing surface to the rear oil seal seat did not meet technical requirements, resulting in uneven force on the rear oil seal lip; and prolonged use, high temperature, or uneven force.

How does the steering wheel control the direction of the car and what is the principle?

The principle of the entire steering mechanism is to convert circular motion into linear motion through a rack and pinion system, thereby pushing the wheels to rotate. Below is relevant information about the car steering wheel: 1. Origin of the car steering wheel: In the 1950s, concept cars without steering wheels were introduced one after another, but consumers showed no interest in such cars. A car without a steering wheel simply cannot be called a car. 2. How to hold the car steering wheel: The correct way to hold the steering wheel is to sit upright and place your hands at positions similar to 10:10 or 9:15 on a clock. While driving, except when necessary for operation, do not operate with one hand for a long time, nor place your hand on the gearshift or window frame for extended periods. When turning the steering wheel, avoid excessive force or sudden movements. Do not turn the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary. When driving on bumpy roads, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands to prevent loss of control and avoid accidents.

Does driving over a pothole at 60 km/h damage the suspension?

Yes, it can cause damage. The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and the axles or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Excessive impact can damage the suspension, causing deformation and degrading its performance. Here are some relevant details: 1. Precautions: Driving over potholes at high speeds can easily damage the tires, especially for vehicles with stiff suspensions and heavy bodies. Therefore, when encountering such road conditions, it is essential to slow down. 2. Symptoms: Driving at 60 km/h over potholes can have certain effects on the suspension, mainly including changes to the four-wheel alignment parameters and wear on the chassis rubber bushings. If the suspension is damaged, it cannot provide effective cushioning and shock absorption for the body. When driving on bumpy roads, the body may shake, twist, and experience strong vibrations, which are among the most common symptoms of a damaged suspension.

Will the Spider in the Car Come Out on Its Own?

It might come out after some time. Here is additional information: 1. Camphor balls: Try to avoid parking the car on grass or under trees. You can place some camphor balls in the corners of the car, under the floor mats, or seats. Camphor balls have insect-repellent and anti-mold properties, and spiders dislike their smell, which can effectively drive them away. Synthetic camphor balls containing naphthalene are somewhat toxic, and their smell can harm humans. Use natural camphor balls instead, and ensure they are kept away from children to prevent ingestion. 2. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the car, removing all spider webs. It’s best to have it cleaned at a professional detailing shop for a more thorough job. Avoid catching spiders directly by hand, as some may be venomous. 3. Insecticide: You can spray insecticide inside the car when no one is inside, ensuring all doors and windows are closed. Note that insecticides are chemical products and can be harmful to humans. Before entering the car, always open the doors for sufficient ventilation.
