What Are the Causes of Rear Axle Abnormal Noise?

Rear Axle Abnormal Noise?" /> The main causes of rear axle abnormal noise include: uneven tooth side clearance, excessive or insufficient tooth side clearance, improper positioning, damaged gear teeth, or bearing failure. The rear axle refers to the component of the vehicle's power transmission system that includes the rear drive shaft. It consists of two half-axles, enabling differential movement between them. Additionally, it serves as a support for the front wheels and a connection for the rear wheels. Here are the detailed causes: 1. Noise due to improper tooth side clearance. Under normal conditions of the main reducer bearing preload, a metallic clanking sound may occur at the rear axle shortly after the vehicle starts or during gear shifts. Once the speed stabilizes, the clanking sound turns into a continuous noise. When the throttle is abruptly changed, the rear axle produces irregular "clunk" or "click" sounds, which generally indicate excessive tooth side clearance. If the vehicle emits a "howling" sound at low speeds, similar to a fire truck siren, and produces "thudding" noises during acceleration or deceleration, accompanied by rear axle overheating, this usually indicates insufficient tooth side clearance. These abnormal noises are typically caused by severe wear of gears and splines, improper tooth side clearance (too large or too small), or insufficient lubrication. 2. Uneven tooth side clearance: When the vehicle starts or undergoes rapid speed changes, rhythmic "clunking" sounds may occur. Additionally, during turns, the rear of the vehicle may exhibit shaking, which is usually caused by uneven tooth side clearance. Loose differential housing screws or loosened ring gear bolts (or screws in some vehicles) can cause the gears to wobble or jump during operation, leading to inconsistent tooth side clearance, which is the direct cause of uneven clearance. 3. Bearing wear: During driving, if the noise increases with higher speeds but diminishes or disappears during coasting, it is generally due to bearing wear or abnormal gear clearance. If the noise occurs during abrupt speed changes or uphill driving, it is likely due to excessive gear meshing clearance.

Must I Take the Subject 1 Test Two or Three Days After the Physical Examination?

You do not need to take the Subject 1 test immediately two or three days after the physical examination. After completing the physical examination for driving school enrollment, you can make an online appointment for the Subject 1 test in about 7-10 days. Specific rules vary by region, so before scheduling, you should review the Subject 1 exam materials and practice with test questions. The Subject 1 test has no limit on the number of attempts and does not count within the three-year time limit. Enrollment in a driving school is only a preliminary registration. After enrolling, the driving school submits the materials to the vehicle management office, and upon success, the office issues a serial number, indicating successful registration. Once registered, you can schedule the Subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test consists of 100 multiple-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 test content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal items in a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to receive your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. If you fail the Subject 1 test, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retake or fail it again, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts each, and rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4.

Can You Drive Forward During Reverse Parking?

During the Subject 2 driving test, you cannot drive forward while performing reverse parking, as it will result in a 100-point deduction. Reverse parking is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small vehicle driver's license after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space and is a key evaluation point in the driver's test. Here are the techniques for reverse parking: Right-side parking technique: When you hear the in-car voice prompt 'Begin reverse parking test,' press the clutch, shift into reverse gear, release the handbrake, gently lift the clutch, and slowly reverse. Observe the left-side rearview mirror; when the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right. As the car slowly reverses, watch the right-side rearview mirror. When the right side of the car is about 30cm from the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel. Observe the right rear wheel through the right-side rearview mirror; when the wheel is on the extension line of the parking spot, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Watch the left-side rearview mirror; when you see the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel and slowly enter the spot. Stop when the lower edge of the left-side rearview mirror aligns with the front yellow line. Left-side parking technique: Shift from reverse to first gear, turn on the left turn signal, and slowly move forward. Observe the left-side rearview mirror; when the left rear wheel exits the parking spot corner, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Straighten the steering wheel when the car's front is aligned, and stop when the lower edge of the left-side rearview mirror is 20cm from the yellow dashed line. Shift from first gear to reverse, and while reversing, watch the left-side rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Observe the left-side rearview mirror; when the left side of the car is about 30cm from the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel. Watch the left rear wheel through the left-side rearview mirror; when the wheel is on the extension line of the parking spot, turn the steering wheel fully to the left again. Observe the right-side rearview mirror; when you see the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel and slowly enter the spot. Stop when the lower edge of the left-side rearview mirror aligns with the front yellow line.
