Here are the reasons for vehicle brake deviation: 1. Irregular left-right deviation: Severe uneven tire wear, especially when the diameter difference between inner and rear tires is significant, leading to more pronounced irregular brake deviation. 2. Negative toe-in or loose components such as tie rod and drag link ball joints. 3. Sudden brake deviation: Sudden failure in the brake system or suspension components. 4. Regular directional deviation: Uneven clearance between the front wheel brake drum and friction lining, significant difference in contact surfaces of front wheel friction linings, different quality of front wheel friction linings, excessive difference in inner diameter of front wheel brake drums, or unequal return spring tension of front wheel brake shoes. Here are the solutions for vehicle brake deviation: 1. Proper tire allocation and rotation according to regulations to ensure uniform tire wear. 2. If tires wear normally but brake deviation still occurs, check for negative toe-in or loose components such as tie rod and drag link ball joints. 3. Strictly follow pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspection requirements to thoroughly check the brake system and suspension components. 4. Check for oil leakage in the brake pipeline and ensure adequate tire pressure.

I've experienced brake pull several times. When braking on the highway, the car would suddenly veer to the right, which was terrifying. A common cause is uneven tire pressure between the left and right sides. For example, if the left tire pressure is low, the lack of traction during braking causes the car to pull to the left. Another reason is uneven wear on the brake pads, where one side wears out faster, reducing braking force and causing the car to pull to the opposite side. Suspension system issues are also common, such as a broken shock absorber leading to imbalance. Last time I checked myself, I found the wheel hub bearings were rusted and stuck; replacing them fixed the problem. During regular maintenance, always inspect the suspension arms and steering ball joints—if they're loose, braking can easily cause pulling. I recommend checking the braking system and tires every quarter—safety first, don't wait until an emergency stop causes an accident to regret it.

Is the chassis of the Audi RS6 high?

Audi RS6's chassis is not high. Here is the relevant introduction about Audi RS6: 1. Chassis design concept: The new Audi RS6 adopts adaptive air suspension for the first time, with an extremely low chassis setup. The ground clearance is even lower than the traditional A6, not only providing a more perfect visual appearance but also, combined with the compact body, allowing the driver to have more control at will. 2. Power configuration: The Audi RS6 is equipped with a twin-turbo V10 engine. After recalibration, the engine's maximum torque has increased from 650Nm to 800Nm, and the maximum power has also surged from 426Kw to 514Kw, with a top speed of 340Km/h.

Can the manual-automatic transmission be freely switched while driving?

Manual-automatic transmission can be freely switched while driving. Suitable situations for switching are as follows: When driving on a slope in an underground garage, the speed must be slowed down, and gear 1 can be used for a gentle downhill; when encountering a long downhill section: use the low gears (gear 3 and below) in manual mode for downhill; when climbing a steep slope, use the manual mode of the manual-automatic transmission and limit the gear to gear 1 to handle frequent slope starts. Precautions: Do not shift into neutral (N) while driving, as the automatic transmission requires lubrication. When the gear is placed in N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will increase the temperature of the internal components of the transmission and cause complete damage! Additionally, coasting in neutral at high speeds is very dangerous and does not save fuel. When coasting to a stop at low speeds, shifting into N in advance has no significant impact.

What Causes Large Vehicles to Leak Engine Oil?

Possible causes of engine oil leakage in vehicles include aging, damage, or failure of the bottom engine seals, or the engine bottom being scraped by rocks. Engine oil leakage leads to a reduction in oil levels, resulting in insufficient lubrication, accelerated internal engine wear, reduced engine lifespan, and in severe cases, may cause significant engine damage or even engine burnout. Solutions: Oil seals and gasket damage or aging: Replace with new sealing components. If the leakage persists, remove the shock absorber. If there is any sticking or uneven resistance, further inspect the gap between the piston and cylinder for excessive clearance, and check for any bending in the shock absorber piston rod. Valve stem seals: Valve stem seals prevent oil from entering the intake and exhaust pipes, which would lead to oil loss. They also prevent the leakage of the air-fuel mixture and exhaust gases, and stop engine oil from entering the combustion chamber. Most cases of "oil burning" are caused by faulty valve stem seals. Hazards of Oil Leakage: The amount of engine oil is closely related to vehicle performance. Insufficient oil can lead to bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, crankshaft breakage and engine block damage. Excessive oil affects the vehicle's power and can cause oil carryover and burning. Therefore, engine oil should be added according to the standard specifications for the vehicle model.

What is the oil change interval?

The oil change interval is between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Conventional oil needs to be changed at around 5,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about engine oil: Oil change interval: Engine oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers traveled. The duration oil can last depends on its quality. High-quality oil can last up to a year without issues, while regular oil typically lasts about six months. Engine oils are categorized into mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil, each with different change intervals. Generally, mineral oil should be changed every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Functions and replacement method of engine oil: It separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts to reduce wear; carries heat back to the oil pan and dissipates it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine; cycles carbon deposits, sludge, and wear particles from engine parts back to the oil pan, flushing away contaminants generated on the parts' working surfaces through the flow of the lubricating oil. Use a jack to lift the vehicle and drain the old oil; remove the oil filter; install a new oil filter and refill with new oil.

What Causes the Buzzing Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

Car steering wheel buzzing is related to the shock absorber pressure bearing, and the damage to the pressure bearing is largely connected to the operation technique. If the abnormal sound comes from inside the steering wheel, the issue is most likely caused by the steering wheel's clock spring (airbag spiral cable). Fault Diagnosis: If the abnormal sound comes from inside the steering wheel, the issue is most likely caused by the steering wheel's clock spring. Remove the clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still buzzes, replace the clock spring as it is already damaged. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying. Steering Wheel Usage Tips: Avoid turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle is in motion. When the car is parked, return the steering wheel to the neutral position to prevent unnecessary load on the suspension system and tires. When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to its maximum limit.
