Hail the size of an orange can dent a car, while hail the size of a soybean won't damage the vehicle. Hail roughly the size of a coin is likely to damage the car and its windows. Below are methods for repairing hail damage to cars: 1. Polishing for shallow 'pockmarks': For vehicles with minor surface damage, polishing can quickly address the issue. Using a polishing wheel and polishing wax, the oxidized layer on the car's surface is removed, and fine scratches are smoothed out. 2. Dent repair for deeper 'dents': If the car body has multiple dents, dent repair technology should be used to prevent rust. This method involves using special tools to repair the dents without damaging the paint, allowing the dents to be restored to their original condition. Dent repair technology has been widely practiced abroad and is suitable for most car models.

Does the Nissan Teana's power steering fluid need to be replaced?

Nissan Teana's power steering fluid needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. The power steering gear, also known as the steering gear or steering box, is an important component in the vehicle's steering system. Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and change the direction of force transmission. Common types of steering gears include rack and pinion, worm and sector, and recirculating ball. The Nissan Teana is a flagship mid-to-high-end luxury sedan under the NISSAN brand. In terms of configuration, this vehicle comes standard with pneumatic massage seats, dual-zone independent air conditioning for left and right sides, rearview camera display system, active headrests, 6 safety airbags, and xenon headlights.

Does Brake Fluid Need to Be Changed?

Brake fluid needs to be changed. The method for changing brake fluid is as follows: 1. Extract all the old brake fluid and fill it with new brake fluid; 2. Use a lift to raise the car, locate the brake caliper's bleed screw, and remove the dust cap from the bleed port; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the bleed screw, attach a rubber tube to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle; 4. Press the brake pedal to expel the remaining old brake fluid. When the fluid in the tube becomes lighter in color, it indicates the fluid change is complete. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, primarily functions to transmit pressure to the brake calipers. Its main roles include energy transmission, rust and corrosion prevention, heat dissipation, and lubrication. Brake fluid is divided into three types: alcohol-based, mineral oil-based, and synthetic.

Reasons for Brake Vibration at High Speeds

Reasons for brake vibration at high speeds: 1. Uneven brake disc surface with excessive radial runout; 2. Significant deviation in wheel alignment data; 3. Tire pressure being too high or too low; 4. Abnormal tire wear; 5. Wheel rim deformation. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. Common braking devices include drum brakes and disc brakes.

What are the causes of insufficient cylinder compression?

The causes of insufficient cylinder compression: 1. Severe wear of piston rings, leading to reduced sealing effectiveness: Among these, insufficient cylinder compression caused by piston ring wear is a common occurrence in older vehicles. The oil ring's function is to distribute the oil flung up by the crankshaft onto the cylinder walls to lubricate and reduce wear between the cylinder walls and piston rings. 2. Abnormal wear such as scoring or unevenness on the cylinder walls: Cylinder wall scoring is caused by carbon deposits or other foreign objects entering the cylinder, which then scrape the cylinder walls as the piston moves. 3. Poor sealing of the valve seats or spark plug seats: Poor sealing of the spark plug seat is often due to damaged threads caused by excessive torque during spark plug installation. Modern engines use aluminum cylinder heads, which are more susceptible to thread damage.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Rims?

Generally, a wheel alignment is not required after changing rims, but tire dynamic balancing is necessary. The rim is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the hub via spokes, i.e., the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also known as the wheel rim, steel rim, or hub. Rims come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. The rim affects the size of the braking system and the selection of tire specifications. Larger rims can accommodate bigger brake systems, and wider rims allow for the use of higher-performance wide tires. A rim includes specifications such as rim size, rim width, bolt circle diameter and offset, and center bore.

What are the steps to replace car antifreeze?

Steps to replace car antifreeze: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap, open the radiator drain valve (usually located at the bottom of the car), and drain the antifreeze; 2. Clean the cooling system by continuously injecting clean water into the engine cooling system. During the flushing process, keep the engine idling to maintain the flow of clean water inside until clear water comes out of the radiator; 3. Stop adding clean water, wait for the water to drain completely, and then close the drain valve; 4. Add new antifreeze until the liquid level is between the max and min water level marks; 5. Close the cap, start the car, and let the engine idle for two to three minutes. The cooling system will expel internal air, causing the antifreeze level to drop slightly. At this point, replenish the antifreeze again.
