Rear-wheel drive handling has the following advantages over front-wheel drive handling: Continuous engine output: In front-wheel drive vehicles, the engine directly transmits kinetic energy to the front two drive wheels through the drive shaft. In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the engine's kinetic energy is transmitted to the rear differential through a rearward drive shaft and then converted into driving force for the rear wheels, resulting in more continuous output and less likelihood of stalling. Greater maneuverability: Rear-wheel drive vehicles concentrate power on the rear wheels, allowing for smaller turning angles. This makes them more agile when making U-turns on narrow roads compared to front-wheel drive vehicles. However, at high speeds on highways, rear-wheel drive vehicles are more prone to losing control. Even minor steering adjustments can cause significant deviations in the vehicle's trajectory.

What Causes the Noise When Wipers Scrape the Windshield?

The reasons for the noise when wipers scrape the windshield are: 1. Wiper blades are made of rubber, which hardens and ages over time; 2. The wiper blades have not been in contact with water for a long time, making them dry; 3. There is debris between the wiper blades and the windshield; 4. The motor and intermittent relay affect the speed, causing friction if the movement is too fast or too slow; 5. The angle of the wiper arm is incorrect, causing the wiper blade to move irregularly on the windshield and produce noise. Solutions include: 1. Replacing the wiper blades; 2. Cleaning between the wiper blades and windshield; 3. Readjusting the position of the wiper arm. Wipers enhance driving safety during rainy weather. If there are issues with the wipers, it is recommended to repair them promptly to avoid accidents.

What is the reason for abnormal noise during cold start but not when the engine is warm?

The reason for abnormal noise during cold start but not when the engine is warm may be due to severe carbon deposits on the valves or intake manifold. During cold starts, the gasoline sprayed by the fuel injectors is largely absorbed by these carbon deposits, leading to abnormal noise. Below is detailed information about engine carbon deposits: 1. Overview: Engine carbon deposits refer to a coking-like substance formed during engine operation, resulting from unsaturated olefins and gum in fuel under high temperatures. 2. Additional Information: Carbon deposits are also a manifestation of abnormal discharge in spark machining. If the fuel injectors are fouled, the atomization of the sprayed gasoline deteriorates, causing uneven mixing of gasoline and air, which increases the amount of gasoline condensing on the intake valves. All internal combustion engines produce carbon deposits.
