Reasons and solutions for abnormal noise from the rear axle of a car are as follows: 1. Excessive meshing gap: When shifting gears to decelerate or abruptly changing speed, a "click, click" sound appears at the rear of the vehicle. The main causes are usually excessive meshing gaps between the conical drive and driven gears, cylindrical drive and driven gears, planetary gears and half-shaft gears, or between the half-shaft gear keyway and half-shaft spline teeth. Adjusting the gap or replacing related components can resolve the issue; 2. Insufficient meshing gap: When accelerating or releasing the throttle pedal, a continuous "hiss" sound appears at the rear, accompanied by heating, which is mostly caused by insufficient or poor meshing of gears; insufficient lubrication or poor lubrication can also lead to similar phenomena. Replacing the engine oil or adjusting the gap can solve the problem; 3. Noise from the half-shaft and half-shaft sleeve: When the half-shaft or half-shaft sleeve is bent and rubs against each other, an intermittent "grinding, grinding" sound occurs while driving; if the rubbing is severe, it turns into a "thud, thud" impact sound. Replacing related components or visiting a repair shop for servicing is necessary.

What to Do If You Fail the Subject 2 Test Five Times?

If you fail the Subject 2 test five times, you need to start over from Subject 1 and pay the fees again. Since there are only five attempts for Subject 2, failing all of them will invalidate any previously passed subjects, requiring you to re-enroll at the driving school. Below are the common reasons for failing Subject 2: 1. Failing to park the car properly in the reverse parking test or touching the boundary lines; 2. Poor control of the clutch pedal, leading to excessive speed; 3. Inaccurate stopping at the designated spot during the hill start test; 4. Stalling the engine due to operational errors during starting; 5. Unfamiliarity with the test site and nervousness; 6. Forgetting the reference points during the curve driving test, resulting in touching the lines.

What are the causes of engine shaking during cold start?

Causes of engine shaking during cold start: 1. During cold start, some engine sensors may cause errors in controlling the fuel injection timing and ignition timing through actuators, leading to engine shaking; 2. When the engine temperature is too low, both fuel and lubricant temperatures are also low. During cold start, richer air-fuel mixture requires higher ignition energy. If the spark plug gap is too large, it reduces ignition energy, causing the car to shake; 3. Incorrect air flow meter signal, malfunctioning EGR valve or control system, or poor fuel quality that fails to achieve the required calorific value can all cause engine shaking; 4. Uneven wear of pistons and piston rings results in inconsistent compression ratios, leading to uneven engine power output and causing engine shaking.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Be Crooked When Driving Straight?

The reasons for the steering wheel being crooked when driving straight are: 1. Steering gear failure; 2. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment data can also cause the steering wheel to be misaligned; 3. Deformation of the vehicle's lower stabilizer bar or failure of the shock absorber. A misaligned steering wheel means that the car must turn the steering wheel at a certain angle to maintain straight-line driving. When the steering wheel reaches the horizontal position, the car cannot drive straight, and the steering wheel tilts and does not automatically return after turning. The solution is four-wheel alignment. Nowadays, many car owners want to do it themselves, but there are certain risks involved. Improper adjustment may lead to more serious consequences. When these problems occur, it is advisable to go to a professional repair shop for inspection and repair.
