Does Parking with Wheels Not Straight Affect the Car?

Parking with wheels not straight does affect the car, with specific impacts as follows: 1. Causes damage: Not straightening the tires can harm the suspension and steering gear. When parked on flat ground, the wheels bear the entire weight of the car. If the tires are not straight, the shock absorbers, lower control arms, and rubber connections of the suspension will be stretched or compressed. Over time, this can lead to loosening and deformation of the suspension. 2. Steering system: Affects the normal operation of the steering system. The wheels will pull the steering tie rods, preventing them from returning to their original position, while the gears of the steering wheel and the rack of the steering tie rods remain under stress. Over time, this can accelerate the aging or deformation of these components. 3. Suspension system: Affects the normal operation of the suspension system. The wheels will develop an angle, causing the suspension system to tilt in one direction. The elastic struts, rubber seals, and some rubber damping pads within the suspension system will be under stress, which can cause damage to the suspension system over time.

I've been driving for many years and have seen many people park their cars with the wheels crooked. To be honest, it has a significant impact on the car, especially on slopes. If the wheels aren't straightened, the steering system is under constant stress, like doing weight training, leading to deformation and premature aging of suspension components. Once, I forgot to straighten the wheels when parking on a slope, and the car almost rolled down, nearly causing an injury—a profound lesson. Over time, this causes uneven tire wear, forcing you to replace tires prematurely, which is not cost-effective. I recommend developing the habit of aligning the wheels by turning the steering wheel every time you park. This not only protects car components and extends their lifespan but also reduces the risk of accidents. Safety first, after all.

Should You Use a Car Cover or Not?

It depends on the specific situation and should be handled according to individual needs: 1. If the car is parked outdoors (frequently exposed to sunlight) and driven infrequently, it is necessary to cover the car with a car cover. It helps to some extent in preventing dust, rain, snow, and contamination from debris (such as insect resin, bird droppings, etc.), reflecting sunlight, delaying the oxidation and discoloration of the paint, and protecting the paint. 2. When purchasing a car cover, it should be vehicle-specific (properly sized) to prevent it from being too large (loose), avoiding friction against the paint due to wind movement. 3. Before covering the car, clean the paint and any surface dust or debris to prevent them from rubbing against the paint.

What are the possible reasons for the non-responsive ignition button of the Landwind X7?

Landwind X7 ignition button not responding could be due to insufficient fuel pressure. The following are the related reasons: 1. Insufficient fuel pressure: The car has too little or no fuel, resulting in insufficient fuel pressure, and no response when starting the car. Solution: Refuel the car's fuel tank in time. 2. Short circuit in the ignition coil circuit: If there is no response when igniting, but the horn and headlights work, use a screwdriver to test the ignition at the negative terminal of the car's ignition wire. If no spark is observed, it indicates a short circuit between the low-voltage terminal of the ignition coil and the ammeter. Solution: Clean the terminal, tighten the nut, and replace the circuit in time.

Why Can't the Van Key Be Turned?

Direction wheel's automatic locking function is activated, causing the key to be unturnable. Here is the relevant information: 1. Function: The steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature. After the car is turned off, turning the steering wheel from the centered position to one direction (usually to the left) by a certain angle will cause the steering wheel to "click" and lock. In the locked state, the steering wheel cannot be turned, the key cannot be turned, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving the anti-theft function. 2. Precautions: When you find that the key cannot be turned, do not force it to turn, as this can easily cause the key to bend or even break.
