There are three main causes of noise in universal transmission devices: 1. Loose universal joint bearings due to wear or impact. 2. Loose splines in the driveshaft slip joint due to wear or impact. 3. Loose bolts in the universal joint flange connection. Below is an introduction to the application of universal transmission devices in automobiles: 1. Between the transmission (or transfer case) and the drive axle: Generally, the transmission, clutch, and engine of a car are integrated and mounted on the frame, while the drive axle is connected to the frame via suspension. Changes in load and road unevenness during driving can cause variations in the angle and distance between the drive axle input shaft and the transmission output shaft. 2. Between the transmission and transfer case in off-road vehicles: To eliminate the impact of coaxiality errors caused by frame deformation, manufacturing, and assembly on power transmission, a universal transmission device must be installed. 3. The half-shafts of the steering drive axle are segmented; during steering, the axes of the two half-shafts intersect, and the angle changes, necessitating the use of a universal joint. 4. For a disconnected drive axle, the differential housing is fixed to the frame, the axle housing swings up and down, and the half-shafts are segmented, requiring the use of a universal joint. 5. The steering shaft of some vehicles is equipped with a universal transmission device, which facilitates the overall layout of the steering mechanism.

What Causes the Brake Squealing in Mercedes-Benz?

The reasons for brake squealing in Mercedes-Benz are: 1. During driving, particles such as rust enter the brake discs, causing friction and resulting in noise; 2. The car has not been maintained for a long time, leading to hardened brake discs that produce noise. The brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal activates the brake linkage, which applies pressure and transmits it to the brake pads on the brake drums, clamping the brake discs to slow down or stop the vehicle. Taking the 2021 facelifted Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300L Fashion model as an example: its dimensions are 5078mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3079mm, and it is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Why does the Lexus always display ECO mode?

Lexus ECO light indicates that the vehicle's economy mode is activated. When the car enters ECO mode, it can achieve the effect of reducing fuel consumption and saving energy. ECO stands for the initials of three English words: Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. It is a car energy-saving mode, and activating this mode can achieve the effect of saving energy. The principle of ECO: ECO mainly involves comprehensive judgment and analysis of conditions that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to provide to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. In simple terms, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gear positions to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

What to Do If the Car Always Stalls When Starting on a Steep Slope?

The solution to the car always stalling when starting on a steep slope is: 1. Try restarting by shifting into first gear, pressing the clutch pedal all the way down, then slowly releasing the clutch to the semi-engaged state and holding it steady; 2. Begin gently pressing the accelerator, and when the front of the car lifts significantly, release the handbrake, then fully release the clutch. Throughout the process from starting to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission system, cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the transmission system. Its function is to allow the engine and the transmission to gradually engage, ensuring a smooth start for the car.

What does a green car license plate mean?

Green car license plates are for new energy vehicles, which include four main types: hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles (including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles, and other new energy vehicles such as those powered by supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices. Currently, new energy vehicle license plates feature a green background to highlight their environmentally friendly characteristics. New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources or conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures.
