For the vehicle's steering system, if a malfunction occurs, it is recommended that you promptly reduce speed, stop the vehicle, and conduct a comprehensive maintenance inspection before continuing to drive. The function of the automotive steering system is to control the vehicle's direction of travel according to the driver's intention. The steering system is crucial for the vehicle's driving safety, hence its components are referred to as safety-critical parts. Function of the Power Steering System: The vehicle's power steering system provides steering assistance. If the power steering system fails, the steering wheel will become significantly heavier. Classification of Power Steering Systems: There are three types of power steering systems: electric power steering (EPS), mechanical hydraulic power steering, and electro-hydraulic power steering. The electric power steering system relies directly on an electric motor to provide steering assistance, without any hydraulic mechanisms or power steering pump. During routine maintenance, it is essential to inspect the power steering system regularly. If hydraulic components are present, the power steering fluid should be replaced periodically.

Can Car Wide Body Kits Be Modified?

Car wide body kits can be modified, but it requires filing with the vehicle management office. Modification Kits: Legal wide body modifications must use original manufacturer kits. After modification, registration and approval from the vehicle management office are required to update the driving license, and the vehicle must comply with safety regulations to be road-legal. Major automakers invest hundreds of millions of dollars in molds and production equipment for body kits. Aftermarket modifications cannot achieve the same precision with their production equipment and may fail to pass the vehicle management office's approval, thus not qualifying as legal modifications. Product Durability: Most wide body kits from reputable manufacturers undergo durability testing and anti-corrosion treatment. However, their fitment accuracy still falls short of original parts, often resulting in unsatisfactory modifications.

What are the effects of insufficient motorcycle oil?

Insufficient motorcycle oil mainly leads to increased wear, reduced cooling performance, poor cleanliness, poor sealing, poor anti-corrosion, and poor vibration damping. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. Cooling: Engine oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. Good engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, and flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of lubricating oil.
