The effects of a broken bearing on a car include: 1. Reduced power; 2. Decreased comfort; 3. Vehicle deviation and increased tire noise; 4. Suspension damage; 5. Steering system failure. The functions of bearings are: 1. Ensuring the shock absorber can rotate with the wheel during vehicle steering, maintaining steering flexibility; 2. The outer ring of the pressure bearing is made of rubber, providing a soft connection between the body and the shock absorber, preventing vibrations from uneven road surfaces from being transmitted to the body through the shock absorber. Traditional automotive wheel bearings consist of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings combined. The installation, lubrication, sealing, and clearance adjustment of the bearings are all performed on the automobile production line.

Where is the best place to put a fire extinguisher in a car?

When fighting a fire, every second counts. If the fire extinguisher is placed in the trunk, the rescue time will be greatly delayed. Therefore, the car fire extinguisher should be placed as close to the driver's seat as possible and in a position that is easy to access, such as under the driver's seat or the front passenger seat. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. The most critical thing is to extinguish the initial fire: When the car has a burning smell or emits thick smoke, the owner should immediately understand that this is a precursor to spontaneous combustion and take action as soon as possible. First, park the moving vehicle in a safe and less crowded place as soon as possible, quickly cut off the oil circuit and power supply, and prepare the fire extinguisher. 2. Spraying the root of the flame is effective: When extinguishing the fire, do not rush to open the hood completely, because the air flow will cause open flames to appear, so be careful to avoid it. Choose to stand in the upwind direction, turn the fire extinguisher upside down several times to loosen the dry powder inside. Hold the middle of the fire extinguisher with your left hand, pull off the safety ring on the pressure handle with your right hand, and aim the nozzle at the most intense burning point to press the pressure handle. Do not spray at the surface of the flame, but aim at the root of the flame to spray, quickly push forward, and confirm that the flame is completely extinguished before moving the fire extinguisher away. After the vehicle has cooled down, check it again. You can refer to the usage method of the dry powder fire extinguisher to correctly operate the fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.

What Causes Squealing and Ineffective Braking During Emergency Stops?

Here are the specific reasons for squealing noises and difficulty braking during emergency stops: 1. When installing new brake pads without resurfacing the old brake rotors, causing improper fit. Improper installation or fitting new pads directly onto uneven old rotors will result in uneven wear of the new brake pads. 2. There might be defects in the braking system itself, causing the brake pads to only partially contact the rotors. This increases pressure per unit area, leading to squealing. It's recommended to inspect components like calipers and guide pins. 3. Foreign objects may be present, causing mismatched contact surfaces and resulting in noise.

Where is the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Installed?

Tire pressure monitoring sensor installation locations: Built-in sensors are installed inside the tire, which is relatively stable and provides more accurate temperature monitoring data; External types are sensors added outside the valve stem, which are more convenient to install. Direct tire pressure monitoring systems use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure, transmitting the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, then displaying the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is: when the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels; by comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved.

What Causes Uneven Tire Wear?

Reasons for uneven tire wear: 1. Wear on both shoulder edges is caused by insufficient tire pressure or overloading; 2. Wear in the center of the tread is caused by excessive tire pressure; 3. Wear on the outer edge of the tire is caused by excessive toe-in or camber angle, or bent steering knuckle arm; 4. Wear on the inner edge of the tire is caused by insufficient toe-in or camber angle. Uneven tire wear refers to abnormal accelerated wear on the inner or outer side of one or several tires, where a specific part of one tire wears much faster than the others. Methods to prevent uneven tire wear: 1. Regularly check if U-bolts are properly tightened, and pay attention to the maintenance of tie rods, especially for new trailers during their first load or after running 1,000 kilometers; 2. Inflate tires according to the standard pressure; 3. Pay attention to tire maintenance, and regularly rotate tires to ensure even wear and effectively extend tire lifespan.

Can You Just Top Up Engine Oil Randomly When It's Low?

You can top up engine oil by yourself when it's low, but you must ensure that the oil you add is the same brand and type, and mixing different oils is not allowed. Additionally, opened engine oil can be used for topping up if it's within one year, but oil that has been opened for over a year is generally ineffective and not recommended for use. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, provides lubrication to the engine. When the oil level is insufficient, lubrication is inadequate, increasing friction resistance and accelerating wear on the engine and its components. Prolonged oil deficiency can lead to severe consequences, such as engine overheating, causing mechanical failures in moving parts, shortening the engine's lifespan, or even rendering the engine irreparable.
