Rear bumper painting generally requires removal before spraying for easier application. Both front and rear ends of a car are equipped with bumpers. Functions of bumpers: They not only serve decorative purposes but, more importantly, act as safety devices that absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the vehicle body and ensuring passenger safety. Materials of bumpers: Many years ago, automotive front and rear bumpers were primarily made of metal materials, using steel plates over 3mm thick pressed into U-shaped channels, surface-treated with chrome plating, and riveted or welded to the vehicle frame longitudinal beams. They had a significant gap from the car body, looking like an additional unattached component, which was quite unappealing. Nowadays, while maintaining their original protective functions, automotive front and rear bumpers also aim for harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight characteristics. Modern car bumpers are made of plastic.

What Causes Temporary Loss of Steering Wheel Control?

The reasons for temporary loss and recovery of steering wheel control are as follows: 1. The power steering system uses electronic assistance. Repeatedly turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds places extreme load on the system, which can cause the steering gear to overheat and activate protection mode, resulting in heavy steering. It will return to normal after cooling down, so this is a normal phenomenon. 2. In most vehicles, the steering wheel automatically locks after the engine is turned off. If it locks while driving, it may be due to accidentally triggering the automatic lock button. 3. Additional information: The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft.

How Long Does the Gasoline Smell Last After Replacing the Fuel Pump?

Gasoline evaporates relatively quickly, and the smell typically dissipates within 3-5 days. Below is an introduction to fuel pumps: 1. Fuel pumps can be categorized into three main types: in-line, distributor, and unit pumps. A fuel pump requires a power source to operate, and the camshaft at its lower end is driven by the engine's crankshaft gear. 2. Fuel pumps are primarily used in automotive diesel engines. The fuel injection pump assembly is usually an integrated unit composed of components such as the fuel injection pump and governor. The governor ensures the diesel engine's low-speed operation and limits the maximum speed, maintaining a specific relationship between the injection quantity and the engine speed.

What to Do If the Driver's License Exam Expires?

If the driver's license exam is not completed within three years, the results of the exams already taken will automatically become invalid, and you will need to go to the local driving school or vehicle management office to cancel the information. In some areas, the information will be automatically canceled. After that, you can only go to the driving school again to register for training and exams, and you must start from Subject 1 to study and take the exams. The three-year calculation period is not based on the registration time but on the time when you passed the Subject 1 exam. Below is an introduction to the passing standards for each subject of the driver's license exam: 1. The full score for Subject 1 is 100, and a score of 90 or above is considered passing; 2. The full score for Subject 2 is 100. For large buses, trailers, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is considered passing, while for other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is considered passing; 3. The full scores for Subject 3 (road driving skills) and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test are each 100, and a score of 90 or above in each is considered passing. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or still fail the retest, the exam process will be terminated, and the applicant must schedule the exam again. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. During the validity period of the learning driving certificate, the number of rescheduled exams for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five times. If you still fail the fifth rescheduled exam, the results of other subjects that have been passed will become invalid.
