There are many reasons for a tire to become bent, and a broken axle is just one possible cause. Here are some relevant details: 1. How to Check: To determine if your car has a broken axle, you can drive it to an auto repair shop with a lift. Ask a mechanic to locate the axle shaft, clean off any dirt, and check for small cracks or complete breaks. 2. Precautions: To prevent a broken axle, avoid subjecting the front axle to excessive impact. For example, when driving over curbs, avoid turning the steering wheel and try not to let the tire sidewalls take direct hits. In daily use, if the side of your car is impacted, inspect it promptly to avoid potential hazards.

What to do with the ETC when the vehicle is sold?

When a vehicle is sold, the ETC can be either transferred or canceled. The vehicle owner can go to the bank to unbind the previously registered ETC card and then take the ETC device to the original bank branch to complete the cancellation process. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection system, which allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. The benefits of ETC include: 1. Saving time by eliminating the need to queue and wait; 2. Reducing noise and exhaust emissions by enabling vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, thus minimizing pollution; 3. Decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, thereby reducing wear and tear.

What Causes a Car to Fail to Start When Warm?

Reasons why a car fails to start when warm: 1. Fuel injector leakage; 2. Damaged carbon canister solenoid valve, causing an overly rich air-fuel mixture; 3. Poor fuel quality that easily evaporates, resulting in overly lean fuel vapor from the injector; 4. Faulty intake air temperature sensor; 5. Excessive carbon buildup on intake valves, throttle body, and pistons; 6. Aging ignition coils with leaking wires. Solutions for a car failing to start when warm: 1. Warm up the car for only 1 minute, no need to wait 5 to 6 minutes; 2. Engine oil becomes thicker and less fluid at low temperatures; 3. Avoid rapid acceleration while the engine is warming up; 4. Choosing engine oil with lower low-temperature viscosity can help the engine reach operating temperature faster.
