Reasons for steering wheel vibration in sedans: Idle speed steering wheel vibration: Slight vibration is caused by resonance. If the steering wheel vibrates severely, it is necessary to check whether the rubber bushings of the steering wheel transmission device are faulty, whether the bolts fixing the steering wheel transmission device are loose, and whether the steering wheel vibration is related to the engine idle speed or the steering gear. Steering wheel vibration during driving: When driving at high speeds between 80 to 100 km/h or above, the driver may experience strong steering wheel vibration, which indicates an issue with the car tires. In such cases, a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing of the car tires are required, and in severe cases, the tires may need to be replaced. Apart from tire-related issues, other possible causes include shock absorber failure, frame deformation, and excessive meshing clearance of the main reducer or the main and driven gears.

When I drive my sedan, the steering wheel shakes, mainly due to unbalanced or deformed tires causing unstable wheel rotation. For example, when the speed exceeds 60-70 km/h, the shaking becomes obvious, which is caused by uneven tire wear or uneven tire pressure, requiring dynamic balancing; damage to the wheel hub or tire itself can also cause similar issues, such as hitting a curb and deforming the wheel, causing it to wobble during rotation, making the steering wheel shake along with it. The solution is to go to a repair shop for a wheel alignment or dynamic balancing, which usually costs around 100-200 yuan. Long-term neglect can accelerate tire wear and increase driving fatigue. This problem is even more dangerous on highways, so it is recommended to regularly check tire wear and pressure, especially during each maintenance service, by having the mechanic test the balance to ensure a safe driving experience.

What are the procedures for collecting license plates at the vehicle management office?

To collect license plates, you only need to bring the relevant documents and materials and fill out the corresponding forms. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle license plates: 1. Regulations: All vehicles driving on public roads must display license plates, with strict regulations on the size, font, and color of the plates. In a few countries, motorcycles and vehicles with exemptions have the right to display only one license plate. 2. Differences: Different types and purposes of vehicles, such as motorcycles, ordinary cars, or trucks, require license plates of different sizes, fonts, and colors. 3. Others: When a vehicle intends to enter another country, it may be required to register temporary license plates due to reasons such as car insurance, diplomacy, or war. Depending on the diplomatic level, the processing time may vary, and the vehicle may also be required to leave the country within a specified time. For the same reasons, some countries or specific vehicles may be prohibited from entering or exiting the country.

Does a Damaged Rear Oxygen Sensor Cause Increased Fuel Consumption?

A damaged rear oxygen sensor can lead to increased fuel consumption in a car, but the impact on fuel consumption is not significant, as its primary function is to monitor the purification efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter. A faulty oxygen sensor can increase vehicle emissions, causing the exhaust pollution to exceed standards. Additionally, a damaged oxygen sensor may prompt the engine control unit (ECU) to increase fuel injection, affecting the air-fuel ratio and potentially leading to higher fuel consumption. Below are details about the rear oxygen sensor: 1. Cars typically have two oxygen sensors: a front oxygen sensor and a rear oxygen sensor. The front sensor is usually installed on the exhaust manifold, while the rear sensor is located behind the three-way catalytic converter. 2. The primary role of the front oxygen sensor is feedback—it detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gases produced after combustion in the cylinders. Based on the oxygen level, the front sensor sends electrical signals to the ECU, which uses this information to adjust the air-fuel mixture. If the front oxygen sensor fails, it cannot provide accurate oxygen concentration readings. 3. The rear oxygen sensor mainly checks the filtration efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter. If the rear sensor is damaged, the car cannot determine whether the catalytic converter is functioning properly, preventing appropriate corrective actions. 4. As a critical component of the electronic fuel injection system, the oxygen sensor plays a vital role in ensuring proper engine operation and effective emission control. If the oxygen sensor or its connecting circuits malfunction, it can not only lead to excessive emissions but also worsen engine performance, resulting in symptoms such as stalling at idle, irregular engine operation, and reduced power.

Why Is There a Hump in the Middle of the Rear Seats?

Here are the reasons for the hump in the middle of the rear seats: 1. Reserved for 4WD: Many SUV models and rear-wheel-drive vehicles have to create a raised rear section to accommodate the space for the driveshaft. In contrast, front-wheel-drive cars have a lower hump because they don’t need to accommodate a large component like the driveshaft, only requiring space for the exhaust pipe and muffler. 2. Increased Strength: A raised rear seat doesn’t necessarily mean higher body strength, but some models add this feature specifically to enhance structural rigidity. These two aspects are not contradictory—many vehicles add a steel beam in the middle of the rear seats to increase strength.

What to Do If 12 Points Are Deducted from a Driver's License Within the First Year?

If 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within the first year, it is considered as accumulating 12 points during the probationary period. According to regulations, the driver must retake the driving test. Below are the relevant regulations regarding accumulating 12 points on a driver's license: 1. Accumulating 12 points during the probationary period: If a driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, the license will be directly revoked. The license cannot be reinstated, and the driver must reapply and start the examination process from scratch. 2. Accumulating 12 points after the probationary period: The traffic management department will confiscate the driver's license. The driver must report to the traffic management department where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to undergo a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. If the driver passes the test, the points will be cleared, and the license will be returned. If the driver fails the test, they must continue studying and retake the test.

Do I need to pay to transfer my driver's license to another driving school?

Transferring to another driving school requires payment, and the fee is determined by the new driving school's training price, which varies from school to school. Below is relevant information about driving schools: Introduction to driving schools: A driving school is a training institution that helps people master driving skills, teaches them safe and civilized driving, and assists them in passing the vehicle management department's exams to obtain a driver's license. According to directory classification, it should belong to the training category within the transportation industry. However, due to the high degree of marketization, a more reasonable classification would be under the service industry in the tertiary sector. Enrollment information for driving schools: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, special small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and light motorcycles must be between 18 and 70 years old, etc.

What is the lifespan of an auto start-stop car battery?

Under normal usage conditions, the lifespan of a start-stop battery is approximately 40,000 kilometers or around 3 years. During vehicle operation, it is recommended that owners regularly check the battery charge level. Below are some battery maintenance methods: 1. In-car electricity usage: To maintain the car battery, avoid activities like listening to the radio at high volume, charging mobile phones, or using air pumps while the engine is off. Prolonged use can lead to battery depletion, and frequent depletion significantly reduces battery lifespan. 2. Highway driving: Regular long-distance highway driving offers multiple benefits, not only clearing carbon deposits from the vehicle but also fully charging the battery. Typically, driving on the highway for over an hour can fully charge the battery, keeping it in optimal condition. 3. Avoid prolonged vehicle inactivity: If the car is not used for an extended period, disconnect the battery cables or start the vehicle every two weeks and drive several dozen kilometers to ensure the battery remains functional. 4. High-power electrical connections: Many modern car accessories, such as car refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and inflators, have high instantaneous power demands. Avoid directly powering these devices with the car battery; instead, start the vehicle first before connecting any electrical equipment.
