Tires do not necessarily need to be replaced in pairs. If a tire has a bulge due to impact, severe sidewall scratches, more than 4 punctures, or puncture holes exceeding 6mm in diameter, you can decide whether to replace one or a pair based on the situation. Here are the details: 1. For a new car with relatively low mileage, you only need to replace the problematic tire since the wear on tires of the same axle is similar. 2. If the tires have been driven for tens of thousands of kilometers but do not yet require replacement, and only one tire has an issue, replacing just one tire may cause uneven height, leading to bumpiness or steering deviation at higher speeds. In this case, it is recommended to replace a pair of tires.

How to Calculate the Date of Car Seat Belts?

Seat belts come with labels that display detailed dates, so there is no need for calculation. Many car components have detailed production dates, such as seat belts, headlights, radiators, radiator frames, tires, glass, generators, compressors, etc. The production dates of all car components should be earlier than the production date of the entire vehicle; otherwise, they are considered replacements. Below are the maintenance methods and usage precautions for car seat belts: 1. Regularly inspect the condition of seat belts. If any damage is found, replace them promptly. Additionally, all bolts securing the seat belts on the floor near the seats should be tightened, and sealant should be applied around the bolts. 2. The correct way to wear a three-point seat belt is to fasten the lap belt as low as possible, around the hips, not the abdomen. The shoulder belt should not be placed under the arm but should naturally cross the chest diagonally. Also, avoid twisting the belt while using it. 3. After fastening the seat belt correctly, perform a sudden forward movement to confirm its functionality. A sudden forceful pull by hand can also serve as a test. 4. Avoid placing the seat belt over hard or fragile objects, such as keys or glasses in clothing, to prevent accidental injuries when tightening. Additionally, ties should be placed outside the seat belt, not underneath it. 5. Ensure that the seat backrest is not overly tilted, as this may prevent the seat belt from extending and retracting properly.

Which digit in the VIN represents the year?

A VIN consists of 17 digits. Initially, manufacturers assigned a specific letter to each vehicle for identification purposes. The 10th digit from the left represents the corresponding manufacturing year. This digit can be either a number or a letter, and the year it signifies varies by country or region. In China, it consists of A-H, J, K, L, M, N, P, V, W, X, Y, plus 1-9, and cycles every 30 years. Additional information: 1. The first three digits of the VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), which is assigned by international or national authorities. The WMI code must be applied for, approved, and registered by the respective country before use. The WMI is designated by a national authority to identify a specific manufacturer using a combination of letters or digits, ensuring the uniqueness of the manufacturer's identification through the first, second, and third digits. 2. The Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS) is the second part of the VIN (digits 4-9). The VDS consists of six digits and should identify the general characteristics of the vehicle. The order of these codes is determined by the manufacturer and includes features such as the type, series, body style, engine type, and restraint system type for passenger cars. 3. The Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS) is the third part of the VIN (digits 10-17) and is assigned by the manufacturer according to international conventions.

What to Do When the Brake Piston Doesn't Retract?

If the brake caliper piston is stuck, it will cause braking resistance, and the brake caliper will remain fixed. When braking, the caliper clamps the brake disc to complete the braking action. This can lead to wear, drying, or damage to the rear wheel bearings. A car has four wheels, each connected to the body via bearings.
