How to Adjust Steering Wheel Play?

Here are the steps to adjust steering wheel play: 1. If the steering gear play is too large or too small, try tightening the adjustable screw on the steering gear. 2. There is an adjustable screw on the steering gear - tightening it reduces play while loosening it increases play. Below are correct and incorrect steering wheel grip methods: (1) Many beginners, due to poor vehicle spatial awareness, adjust their seats too far forward to see the hood, almost hugging the steering wheel. Some experienced drivers also adopt unsafe postures like reclining seats excessively during long drives. (2) Correct method: First adjust the seat backrest to approximately 110 degrees of inclination. (3) Scientific experiments show this angle best fits ergonomics, minimizing fatigue. Then press your back firmly against the seat, sit fully in the seat, rest your wrist joints on the steering wheel top, and adjust seat distance until elbows remain slightly bent.

I previously encountered a steering wheel play issue where I felt a slight free play when turning the wheel before the actual steering began, which was quite dangerous. First, I parked and turned off the engine, then forcefully shook the steering wheel left and right to test the play size. If the wheels didn't move within about 15 degrees, it indicated a problem. When handling it myself, I opened the engine hood, located the bolts at the steering shaft connection, and tried tightening them with a wrench—the play reduced. However, this method only works for minor looseness. If the play is significant, it might indicate steering gear wear, requiring professional adjustment. I recommend regularly checking the steering system and avoiding aggressive steering to prolong component lifespan. Safety first—unresponsive steering can lead to accidents. If you're unfamiliar with repairs, it's best to visit a repair shop and let a mechanic use professional tools for precise adjustment, ensuring peace of mind and reliability. Regular vehicle maintenance can prevent such issues.

What procedures are required for second-hand vehicle registration?

For a second-hand vehicle, you need to go through the transfer procedures at the original registration location of the vehicle to obtain temporary license plates. Then, the second-hand vehicle must undergo registration procedures at the vehicle management office in the new registration location, including re-inspection of the vehicle, selection of a license plate number, production of the vehicle license, and payment of relevant taxes and fees. Notes for second-hand vehicle registration: 1. Meet the migration standards of the registration location. 2. Retain the original license plate. If you wish to continue using the old license plate number after selling the vehicle, you can apply to retain it. 3. Pay the vehicle and vessel usage tax. The owner must pay the vehicle and vessel usage tax at the local tax authority in their district or county within one month of registration, usually with an annual fee of 200 yuan for small cars. 4. Obtain a vehicle purchase quota in restricted purchase areas. Similar to new cars, consumers in restricted purchase areas must first obtain a registration quota before purchasing a second-hand vehicle; otherwise, registration is not allowed. 5. Pay registration fees. When selecting a license plate number, you must pay the required registration fees. Some 4S shops can handle registration on your behalf but will charge a service fee.

How often should the spark plugs be replaced in an eighth-generation Honda Accord?

Honda Accord eighth-generation spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, but if the spark plugs show no signs of burning out and the ignition is functioning normally, replacement may not be strictly necessary. The original spark plug model for the eighth-generation Accord 2.4 is: NGK ILZKR7B11, a specialized iridium-platinum type with a heat rating of 7, a gap of 1.1mm, and built-in resistor type. This is a vehicle-specific model, so it is not recommended to replace it with spark plugs of different materials or heat ratings to avoid increased fuel consumption or sluggish acceleration. Below is some information about spark plugs: 1. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparkers. The function of a spark plug is to discharge the high-voltage pulse electricity sent by the high-voltage wire (sparker wire), breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. 2. Main types include: standard spark plugs, insulator-protruding spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, surface-gap spark plugs, etc. 3. Spark plugs work in conjunction with the ignition system and fuel supply system to enable the engine to perform work, and they largely determine the engine's performance together.

What is Automotive Primer?

Automotive primer is the first layer of paint directly applied to the surface-treated metal components. As the foundational layer of the entire coating system, it is designed to have excellent adhesion to the substrate and good compatibility with the intermediate or top coats applied above. Additionally, it must possess outstanding properties such as corrosion resistance, rust prevention, oil resistance, chemical resistance, and water resistance. Solvent-based automotive primers primarily use nitrocellulose resin, epoxy resin, alkyd resin, amino resin, or phenolic resin as the base material, with iron oxide red, titanium white, carbon black, and other pigments and fillers as coloring agents. The application methods include spraying and dip coating.
