Does a Slightly Deformed Steering Knuckle Need Replacement?

1 Answers

Steering knuckles with slight deformation must be replaced. The steering knuckle arm, commonly known as the "sheep horn" in Chinese, is one of the main components in a car's steering system. It ensures stable driving and sensitive transmission of driving direction, bearing the front weight of the vehicle and enduring variable impacts from the road surface during driving. Therefore, designers generally design the steering knuckle with high strength. The steering knuckle serves as the hinge for wheel steering, typically shaped like a fork, with two coaxial holes on the upper and lower forks for installing the kingpin. The steering knuckle spindle is used to mount the wheel. The two ears with pin holes on the steering knuckle are connected to the fist-shaped parts at both ends of the front axle via the kingpin, allowing the front wheels to pivot around the kingpin at a certain angle to enable steering. When the steering knuckle has issues, the car may exhibit poor steering return, abnormal front tire wear, easy damage to wheel bearings, and unusual body noises. The so-called "broken axle" cars in the news actually break the steering knuckle, not the axle. If the steering knuckle fractures, the car's wheels may directly fall off. The steering knuckle is crucial for vehicle handling and driving safety. If there are any problems with the steering knuckle, it is essential to promptly visit a 4S store or repair shop for repair or replacement.

Should You Shift to Neutral at Traffic Lights with an Automatic Transmission?

Automatic transmission cars can be shifted to neutral when waiting at traffic lights, and the handbrake can also be applied if the wait is prolonged. Here are the relevant details: 1. Duration for shifting to N (Neutral) at traffic lights: Placing the car in N for short periods while waiting at a red light is acceptable, but leaving it in N for extended periods can damage the car, especially the transmission. Keeping the car in D (Drive) while pressing the brake at a red light is akin to pressing both the accelerator and brake simultaneously in a manual transmission. This increases fuel consumption and, over time, puts prolonged stress on the torque converter, accelerating wear on components like the torque converter. 2. Avoid shifting to P (Park) at traffic lights: Shifting to P at a red light is not recommended because doing so without applying the handbrake can damage certain components; starting from P involves cumbersome steps; frequent shifting to P can cause gear grinding in the automatic transmission, damaging its bearings. The correct approach is to shift to N when braking; when the light turns green, shift to D and proceed.

How to align the timing chain on the Roewe 350?

The method for aligning the timing chain on the Roewe 350: 1. Locate the position where all four pistons are parallel. Near the lower right of the exhaust manifold where the engine connects to the transmission, there is a small hole blocked by a white plastic plug; 2. Remove the plug and insert an L-shaped metal rod of similar size into the hole, which should pass through a corresponding hole on the flywheel; 3. Remove the transmission to reveal holes on each of the camshafts; 4. After aligning the hole on the flywheel with the hole on the engine, ensure that the two holes are vertically aligned; 5. Tighten the two previously loosened camshaft gears. The Roewe 350 is a compact sedan positioned in the A-segment market, launched by SAIC Motor following the Roewe 750 and Roewe 550. Equipped with an intelligent internet-based driving system that utilizes China Unicom's WCDMA 3G network, it enables functions such as information retrieval, real-time traffic navigation, electronic travel logs, stock trading, and social community interactions, ushering in the era of internet-connected automotive information technology.

How Far Can You See a Car in the Rearview Mirror?

If a car appears on the right side of the rearview mirror, it indicates there is still some distance. However, if the car behind appears on the left side of the left rearview mirror and the vehicle is completely within the mirror, the distance between the car behind and your own car may be only about 5 meters. The right rearview mirror can still be divided into left and right parts, but unlike the left rearview mirror, it follows the principle of "left far, right near." When the body of the car on the right has moved beyond the right side of the rearview mirror, the distance at this time may be around 5 meters. Generally, if the car behind occupies half of the rearview mirror, the distance between it and the car in front may also be about 5 meters. Relevant information: Cars have both left and right rearview mirrors, and the judgment methods for the two sides are different because the driver's position is on the left side of the car. During driving, the principle is "left near, right far."

How far can a full tank of gas take the 10th-generation Accord?

Under normal driving conditions, it can travel approximately 700-800 kilometers. Additionally, the mileage per tank differs between hybrid and gasoline models, with the hybrid version offering a relatively longer range. Here is some relevant information about the Accord: 1. Accord: The Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda. 2. Powertrain Configuration: This model offers two powertrain variants: one equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and the other with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0L variant is the hybrid version, featuring a 2.0L engine + electric motor combination. In terms of transmission systems, the gasoline model is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission, while the hybrid model comes with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. 3. Fuel Consumption: Compared to other models in its class, the Accord consumes relatively less fuel. It is equipped with the Earth Dreams series engine, which incorporates technologies such as direct fuel injection, i-VTEC, variable intake manifold, high compression ratio, and lightweight cylinder design.

What is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for 92 and 95 gasoline?

When driving a car for 160 kilometers at a constant speed of 120 km/h without sudden acceleration or braking, approximately 15 liters of 92-octane gasoline are required. 92-octane gasoline is composed of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The primary difference lies in the purity of isooctane—the higher the purity, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock properties, and consequently, the higher the price. Gasoline is a mixture. Although 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline have similar chemical compositions, their additives differ. Mixing these two types of gasoline can actually burden the engine. If you consistently use mixed gasoline over a long period without caution, it may lead to engine knocking, shorten the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, and increase exhaust pollution. When choosing between 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline, please follow the car's user manual or refer to the label on the back of the fuel tank cap for guidance.

What is the equivalent displacement of a 1.6T engine?

1.6T is equivalent to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 2.2-2.4L. A 1.6T engine is essentially a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger. The displacement remains 1.6L, but the power output becomes significantly stronger. Generally, the power output of a turbocharged engine can reach about 1.3-1.5 times that of a naturally aspirated engine with the same displacement. Therefore, it can be simply stated that a 1.6T engine is equivalent to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 2.2-2.4L. Vehicle classifications based on displacement are as follows: micro cars have a displacement of ≤1.0L, compact cars range from 1.0L to 1.6L, mid-size cars range from 1.6L to 2.5L, executive cars range from 2.5L to 4.0L, and luxury cars have a displacement of >4.0L. In Western countries, the displacement of a turbocharged engine is typically calculated by multiplying the engine displacement by 1.4. However, in China, the actual displacement number is used. Both 1.6T and 1.6L engines are taxed based on a 1.6L displacement for vehicle purchase tax purposes. As a result, many automakers have introduced small-displacement turbocharged engines in recent years.
