Is Filing Required for Steering Wheel Replacement?

2 Answers

Replacing the steering wheel requires filing if the structure and position are altered, as modifications may lead to insurance claim denial risks. Generally, the steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines, functioning to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver during steering. According to Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the following vehicle modifications require relevant change procedures at the vehicle management office: 1. Changing the body color; 2. Replacing the engine; 3. Replacing the body or frame; 4. Replacing the entire vehicle due to quality issues; 5. Changing the usage nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to non-commercial use or vice versa; 6. The vehicle owner's residence moving into or out of the vehicle management office's jurisdiction area.

Replacing the steering wheel, in my opinion, hinges on safety and compliance. Generally, if you're just swapping to a similar type and size-compatible steering wheel—such as an OEM part or standard component—it usually doesn't require registration or special reporting. The issue lies with the airbag system: the new steering wheel must properly integrate the airbag, otherwise, it may fail to deploy in an accident, posing significant risks. Additionally, improper installation, like loose bolts, can cause the steering wheel to wobble, creating hazards while driving. During annual inspections, examiners check if the steering system is secure and safe; any issues might affect approval. I recommend consulting local vehicle regulations—for instance, in China, basic replacements don’t need registration, but major modifications like switching to a racing wheel require contacting the DMV. For peace of mind, having it installed at a reputable shop is wise, as driving safety is no trivial matter.

Why does the car not accelerate when stepping on the gas?

The reasons why the car does not accelerate when stepping on the gas are as follows: 1. Check the fuel pressure, cleanliness, and replace the fuel filter. 2. Inspect the ignition system, spark plug wires, spark plugs, etc. 3. Check the cylinder pressure and whether the engine is misfiring. 4. Inspect if the intake and exhaust pipes are unobstructed (clogged catalytic converter). 5. Verify if the ignition timing is correct, including the throttle position sensor and idle control motor. 6. Poor fuel quality. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The accelerator pedal, also known as the gas pedal, is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal depression, it regulates the throttle opening, controls the air intake, and the computer adjusts the fuel quantity, thereby controlling the engine speed. 2. The throttle of a car engine is typically controlled by the pedal, which is the device used to regulate the fuel supply. The operation of the accelerator pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot, with the ball of the foot gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the ankle joint's extension and flexion to press down or release. When operating the accelerator pedal, the force should be gentle, ensuring smooth and gradual movements.

What to Do When the Remote Car Key Gets Wet?

When the remote car key gets wet, there are several ways to handle it: 1. Disassemble the key, wipe the chip and battery with anhydrous alcohol, and then dry it with a hair dryer: Use a cotton swab dipped in anhydrous alcohol to clean the circuit board. Alcohol with a concentration of 95% available at pharmacies can be used. Anhydrous alcohol has strong water absorption properties, preventing the chip in the remote key from short-circuiting and burning out. 2. Completely separate the two parts of the remote. Wipe the internal components with highly absorbent paper towels: If water is not thoroughly removed, it can cause oxidation and corrosion of the circuit board. Use highly absorbent paper towels to clean the internal parts, and avoid pressing any remote functions during this process. 3. Get a new key: You can have a new key made at a specialized key-cutting stall or visit a 4S dealership. By examining the engine chip inside the key and retrieving the records, a new key can be matched.

What does MPV refer to in cars?

MPV stands for multi-Purpose Vehicles, meaning multi-purpose vehicles. As the name suggests, multi-purpose means suitable for various uses, both for passenger transport and cargo. Evolved from station wagons, MPVs combine practicality, comfort, and safety, with interior space being larger compared to other vehicles of the same displacement. Below is an introduction to MPVs: 1. MPVs can be categorized by usage into family and commercial models, by seating capacity into 5-seater and 7-seater, and by development platform into ride-hailing platform products and light bus derivatives. Vehicles classified as MPVs must first have a two-box structure, usually adopting the chassis and engine of sedans directly, thus offering the driving feel and comfort of sedans. 2. The most intuitive and obvious difference between MPVs and SUVs lies in their appearance. The advantage of MPVs is their larger interior space, more rational seating layout, and better comfort. SUVs, on the other hand, have much higher ground clearance, better off-road capability, and superior sport performance. MPVs also come in entry-level and luxury versions, with representatives of entry-level MPVs including the GAC Trumpchi GM6 and Lifan Xuanlang, while luxury MPVs include the Toyota Alphard and Chrysler Pacifica.

What Are the Components of the Running Gear System?

The running gear system of a vehicle generally consists of four parts: the frame, axles, suspension, and wheels. The frame serves as the foundation for the entire vehicle assembly. The axles are connected to the frame via the suspension, and the wheels are mounted on the axles. Below is an introduction to the vehicle's running gear system: 1. The primary function of the running gear system is to integrate the entire vehicle into a cohesive unit, support the vehicle's total weight, receive torque from the drivetrain, and generate traction between the driving wheels and the road surface. 2. The frame is a bridge-like structure that connects the various axles and serves as the mounting base for the entire vehicle. The axles transmit forces in all directions between the frame (or the load-bearing body) and the wheels. Axles are categorized into four types: steering axles, drive axles, steering drive axles, and support axles. Wheels are rotating components that carry tires on the outside and axles at the center, bearing the load. They consist of the hub, rim, and spokes. Wheels are mainly divided into disc-type and spoke-type. The vehicle suspension is a general term for all power-transmitting connecting devices between the frame and axles. The suspension elastically connects the axles to the body, dampens shocks from uneven road surfaces during driving, and ensures passenger comfort and cargo integrity.
