There are several solutions for outer edge tire wear on front wheels: 1. Adjust tire pressure to always maintain normal tire pressure. 2. Regularly perform wheel dynamic balance testing for the tires. If imbalance is found, balance lead weights should be installed. 3. Pay attention to tire maintenance and rotation. It's best to rotate the tires every 5,000 kilometers, preferably with diagonal swapping, to ensure even wear and extend lifespan. 4. Regularly visit professional repair shops for four-wheel alignment to ensure accurate vehicle alignment data, at least once a year. 5. Check whether wheel hub screws are loose, whether chassis components are deformed, and whether steel rims are deformed. 6. Avoid overloading and pay attention to tire load balance. Avoid parking the vehicle on uneven surfaces for extended periods.

Last time I changed my tires, I noticed severe wear on the outer edges of the front tires, so I immediately had the repair shop perform a wheel alignment. The mechanic said that most cases of outer tire wear are caused by misaligned positioning parameters, especially excessive toe angle, which causes the tires to scrub hard against the ground when turning. They also recommended that I rotate the front and rear tires crosswise every 10,000 kilometers to ensure even wear. Additionally, if you frequently drive on rough roads, the bushings in the suspension system can age and deform, which can also misalign the tire angles. After spending over 300 yuan to adjust the alignment data, my new tires ran for 20,000 kilometers without any further uneven wear. By the way, it’s a good habit to check tire pressure monthly—if it’s too high, the contact area will concentrate on the sides.

Should Insurance Repairs Be Done at a 4S Shop or an Outside Garage?

Choose based on your living conditions, but it's best to go to a 4S shop for repairs. Here are the specific details: Key differences: 1. Technical expertise: Outside mechanics generally can't match the skill level of 4S shop technicians. 2. Parts quality: Replacement parts used in outside garages are not original equipment. 3. Cost factors: 4S shops have larger operations with comprehensive inventory of genuine parts. Additional information: The insurance claim process at 4S shops: When a collision occurs causing vehicle damage, the owner should notify their insurance company. After the insurer assesses the damage and requests relevant documents, the owner pays upfront. The insurance company then reimburses the assessed amount within 3-7 working days.

How Long Can a Vehicle Not Be Driven After Missing Inspection?

If a vehicle has missed inspection for half a year, it cannot be driven on the road, and if caught, a fine will be imposed. According to the national "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles": If a motor vehicle fails to obtain the inspection qualification mark within a continuous 3-month inspection cycle, it will be mandatorily scrapped. It is recommended to continue participating in the annual inspection after the 3-month inspection cycle. According to the Road Traffic Law, vehicles that fail to undergo the mandatory safety technical inspection on time are not allowed to be driven on the road. Driving such a vehicle in violation of the regulations will result in a 3-point penalty. In addition, the party involved in any traffic accident caused by failure to participate in the annual inspection of the motor vehicle will bear full or primary responsibility. Moreover, driving without inspection is considered illegal driving, and insurance will not cover any claims.

What brand is the Excelle transmission?

The transmission brand of the Excelle is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Excelle manual transmission uses a 5-speed manual, while the automatic transmission employs a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). A continuously variable transmission does not have specific gears; it operates similarly to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps like an automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and continuous power delivery. When using the Excelle's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for an extended period. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving a manual transmission, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmissions, this can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while the car is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move it onto the platform while in N (Neutral) mode. Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly.

What does it mean when the AT light in a car is on?

When the AT light in a car is on, it indicates a transmission fault. Symptoms of transmission fault light activation: Issues such as jerking, abnormal noises, slipping, or impact may occur, which require timely repair. If the AT light is on, you can try turning off the engine and restarting to see if it returns to normal. If it does not return to normal or if there is shifting impact, it is usually a real fault in the transmission system. Car Transmission: The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, fixed or stepped to alter the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft, also known as the gearbox. The transmission consists of a transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, and some cars also have a power take-off mechanism.
