Motorcycle brake pads should be replaced every 15,000 kilometers. The maintenance methods for brake pads are as follows: 1. Regularly check the thickness of the brake pads; 2. Periodically inspect the wear level of the friction linings and replace them when they reach the limit; 3. Use specialized tools to retract the brake caliper when replacing the friction linings; 4. After replacement, pump the brakes several times to eliminate the gap between the linings and the brake disc; 5. Replace with brake pads provided by the original equipment manufacturer. Brake pads refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or disc rotating with the wheel. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration.

What Happens When a Car's Steering Knuckle Deforms?

Deformation of a car's steering knuckle can lead to the following consequences: bearings are prone to damage, poor steering return, and abnormal noises from the vehicle body. The steering knuckle arm, commonly known as the "sheep horn," is one of the main components in a car's steering system, ensuring stable driving and sensitive transmission of the driving direction. The function of the steering knuckle is to bear the load of the front part of the car, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin for steering. Under driving conditions, it endures variable impact loads, thus requiring high strength. The steering knuckle acts as the hinge for wheel steering, typically fork-shaped, with two coaxial holes on the upper and lower forks for installing the kingpin. The steering knuckle journal 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 a certain angle around the kingpin for steering.

What is the process of releasing refrigerant from a car air conditioner?

The process of releasing refrigerant from a car air conditioner: 1. Install the manifold pressure gauge, connect one end of the green hose to the middle of the pressure gauge and the other end to the vacuum pump, then perform the vacuuming operation; 2. Install the refrigerant tank; 3. Fill refrigerant from the high-pressure side: Open the high-pressure side valve and add refrigerant when the engine is not running until the low-pressure gauge reaches approximately 0.98MPa, then close the valve after filling; 4. Check for leaks, use an electronic leak detector to check the system for leaks; 5. Fill refrigerant from the low-pressure side: After closing the high-pressure side valve, start the engine and run the air conditioner, open the manifold pressure gauge, and fill the specified amount of refrigerant; 6. When replacing the filling tank, close the valves on both the high and low-pressure sides, then open the purge valve to release air from the middle hose (green) and the manifold pressure gauge after replacement; 7. Check the refrigerant filling amount according to the pressure display of the manifold pressure gauge. When the refrigerant filling amount reaches the specified amount, the pressure of the manifold pressure gauge should also reach the specified value; 8. After the refrigerant filling amount meets the requirements, close the low-pressure side valve and turn off the engine.

Can I add 95 gasoline when 92 is not yet used up?

92 gasoline can be mixed with 95 gasoline when it is not yet used up, but it is not recommended to mix gasoline for a long time as it may affect the performance of the car. If the car is only mixed with gasoline once or twice, it will not affect the normal use of the car. However, long-term mixing may cause knocking, insufficient power, and other issues. If the standard fuel grade for the car is 92, long-term mixing with 95 gasoline may cause carbon deposits in the engine due to prolonged operation. The gasoline grade represents the octane number of the gasoline. For example, 92 gasoline contains about 92% isooctane, while 95 gasoline contains about 95% isooctane. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties, higher-grade gasoline has a higher octane number and better anti-knock performance.
