Deformation of the automotive steering knuckle can cause the steering wheel to shake during vehicle operation. Below is a related introduction to the symptoms of a bent steering knuckle arm malfunction: 1. Front wheel alignment deviation: Steering knuckle arm deformation. Lack of lubrication or damage to the steering knuckle thrust bearing. Excessive clearance or lack of lubrication between the steering knuckle kingpin and bushing. Front axle or frame deformation causing front wheel alignment deviation. 2. Overly tight assembly: Insufficient tire pressure. Steering gear bearings assembled too tightly. Excessive meshing clearance in the transmission pair. Excessive tightness or lack of lubrication in the tie rod ball joints. 3. Increased friction: Steering shaft or main pipe bending causing mutual friction or jamming. Improper lubrication of the steering system, incorrect toe adjustment.

I know exactly how it feels to have a deformed steering knuckle. My car had the same issue recently - the steering wheel kept shaking while driving, especially when overtaking on the highway. It felt like the car was about to lose control, making my palms sweat. It also caused abnormal tire wear. When I checked, the left front tire was wearing out nearly twice as fast as the right front one, forcing me to replace tires after just one year of use - what a waste of money. The worst part was the significantly compromised handling - the steering wheel became unresponsive in turns, as if someone was pulling it. Even worse, the uneven stress on the suspension system could accelerate damage to bearings or shock absorbers, increasing repair costs. The safety risks were serious enough that I immediately took it to the shop for repairs. Now I can drive with much more peace of mind.

What are the reversing techniques?

Here is an introduction to reversing techniques: 1. Adjust the position between the car body and the corner of the garage: When reversing for the first time, lean forward to check the right rearview mirror in advance to observe the positional relationship between the car body and the corner of the garage. Predict whether the car body will be too close or too far from the corner of the garage based on the angle observed in the rearview mirror, then steer to correct it. It is best to maintain a distance of 30 centimeters between the car body and the corner of the garage. 2. Correct the car body inside the garage: After the rear half of the car body enters the garage, steer to adjust. Observe the left and right rearview mirrors to determine which side the front of the car is leaning towards and which side the rear is leaning towards, then steer towards the side the front is leaning to correct the car body. 3. Find the right stopping point: Judge when to stop by observing the relationship between the left rearview mirror and the side line. When the left rearview mirror covers the side line, immediately press the clutch to stop.

Why Should Motor Vehicles Slow Down in Rainy Weather?

Because the road is slippery in rainy conditions, the braking distance increases, and visibility is reduced, motor vehicles should slow down when driving in the rain. Below are precautions for driving in rainy weather: 1. Maintain good visibility: In addition to driving cautiously, promptly turn on the windshield wipers and use low-beam headlights and fog lights when the weather is dim. 2. Prevent wheel skidding: Rainwater on the road forms a "lubricant" between the tires and the road surface, reducing the vehicle's braking performance and increasing the risk of skidding. 3. Drive slowly in low gears: Regardless of road width or condition, use second or third gear when driving in the rain, keeping the speed below 30 or 40 km/h, and be mentally prepared to take emergency measures. 4. Avoid getting stuck in water: When encountering flooded roads, such as under overpasses or deep tunnels, first stop to check the water depth. If the water exceeds the exhaust pipe, it may cause the vehicle to stall; if it exceeds the bumper, water may enter the vehicle. 5. Do not restart the vehicle after stalling: If the engine stalls due to water, do not attempt to restart it. Instead, leave the vehicle in place and wait for a tow. 6. Maintain safe following distance: Do not follow large vehicles too closely, as they block visibility, and a path passable for large vehicles may not be passable for smaller ones. 7. Watch for pedestrians: Pedestrians holding umbrellas and cyclists wearing raincoats have limited visibility, hearing, and reaction time. 8. Turn on lights promptly: In heavy rain with extremely low visibility, turn on the headlights, position lights, and taillights, and move the vehicle off the road or park it in a safe place.

Should the motorcycle fuel switch be up or down?

Different brands and models of motorcycles have different fuel tank switches, and you need to check the markings on the fuel tank switch to determine. Below are specific details about motorcycle fuel: 1. Markings: Generally, "ON" or a full cup of water symbol represents the main fuel tank, while "RES" or a half cup of water symbol represents the reserve tank. Typically, the main tank is used when the switch is down, the reserve tank is used when the switch is up, and the fuel supply is off when the switch is parallel. 2. Switch: Move the fuel tank switch lever and observe which marking the arrow on the lever points to, indicating which fuel tank function is being used. In reality, there is only one fuel tank; the so-called main and reserve tanks are simply two different fuel outlets at varying heights on the fuel tank switch. Moving the lever up engages the reserve tank. After refueling, the lever should be moved down; otherwise, using the reserve tank continuously will deplete the fuel without notice.
