New Santana's steering gear clearance can be adjusted. When there is steering clearance, land the wheels and keep them straight ahead. Loosen the nut on the steering gear, adjust the bolt with a hex wrench until it touches the thrust washer stop, and then tighten the nut. Note that while tightening, use the hex wrench to secure the adjusted bolt to prevent it from turning. After adjustment, test drive to check. Concept of steering gear: The steering gear is a machine that assists the driver in applying force while turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required by the driver to achieve a relaxed and convenient driving experience. Working principle: Electric power steering operates when the driver turns the steering wheel. The structure of the power steering booster is very complex and generally cannot be repaired by ordinary people. With proper maintenance, it is not prone to failure. Precautions: Frequently check the oil in the oil cup to ensure it does not fall below the lower limit of the oil dipstick. If the booster loses oil, the pressure pump may be damaged. Secondly, change the oil regularly. Third, avoid turning the steering wheel to the extreme. Fourth, try not to turn the steering wheel while stationary.

Why Can't the Rear Car Door Lock?

Here are the reasons why the rear car door cannot lock: 1. The lock actuator is faulty, or there is poor contact in the central control system wiring. 2. The locking mechanism has high resistance, possibly due to rust. 3. The position of the door lock motor latch has shifted. 4. The door lock motor is damaged. Below is the classification of car doors: 1. Front-hinged doors: These can still be closed by air pressure even while the car is moving, making them safer. They are widely used because they allow the driver to observe backward when reversing. 2. Rear-hinged doors: If not closed properly while the car is moving, they may be forced open by oncoming airflow, so they are less commonly used. They are generally adopted only to improve entry/exit convenience or for ceremonial purposes. 3. Sliding doors: Their advantage is that they can fully open even when the side of the car is close to an obstacle. 4. Lift-up doors: These are widely used as rear doors for sedans and light passenger vehicles and are also applied to low-profile cars.
