The effects of a damaged CV boot include the vehicle pulling to one side, ineffective steering adjustments, and even potential accidents; accelerated tire wear; damage to the power steering pump; and the steering wheel locking up, making it impossible to steer. Symptoms of a damaged CV boot: It can cause abnormal noises from the CV joint during acceleration or turning. Damage to the CV joint is often caused by a torn rubber sealing boot, leading to leakage of lubricant inside the CV joint, abnormal wear of the CV joint, and increased play in the joint, resulting in unusual noises. The CV joint is a crucial component located at the end of the drive shaft, connecting the drive shaft to the wheel. Without the CV joint, power cannot be transmitted to the wheels. It is recommended that owners inspect the rubber sealing boot of the CV joint during routine maintenance by lifting the vehicle with a jack. If the rubber sealing boot is damaged, it should be replaced immediately. Consequences of not repairing a damaged CV boot: Abnormal noises when the ball bearings jam; ball bearings breaking apart, preventing the engine's power from reaching the wheels and rendering the vehicle immobile.

Can the vehicle pass the annual inspection after widening the tires from 195 to 205?

In this case, there is no problem and the vehicle can pass the annual inspection. Because there is no national law that prohibits changing to one-size-larger tires, but the size of the wheel hub cannot be altered and must match the original factory wheel hub size. If the size of the wheel hub is changed, the driver may face fines and be ordered to restore it to the original condition if discovered by traffic police. Below is the relevant information: 1. Wheel hub: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire connected by pillars, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called a rim, steel ring, wheel, or tire ring. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. 2. Annual inspection: Annual inspection, or annual check, is a more colloquial term for it. It refers to the annual or biennial safety inspection of a vehicle, including a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, and more.

Where Should the Probationary Driver Sign Be Placed on a Vehicle?

The correct placement for a magnetic probationary driver sign is on the rear trunk of the vehicle, near the license plate, on the left side where there is blank space. For adhesive probationary driver signs, the correct placement is in the upper left corner of the rear windshield, at the same height as the driver, ensuring that drivers behind can clearly see the probationary sign, enhancing safety. Probationary driver signs are used to indicate vehicles driven by beginners, serving as a warning to other vehicles to prevent accidents such as rear-end collisions. These are among the most practical types of car decals, commonly used by new drivers who have just started driving, and can also be referred to as novice probationary signs or novice yield signs. Other drivers can take preemptive measures upon seeing this sign, promoting understanding and consideration from other drivers, pedestrians, and traffic police, thereby preventing traffic accidents. According to China's traffic safety laws, the first 12 months after obtaining a driver's license is the probationary period, during which vehicles must display a probationary driver sign (novice sign) as required. Novice signs can typically be obtained from driving schools or purchased independently after acquiring the license, or downloaded and printed by oneself, but must adhere to standard specifications. The primary color of the probationary sign is yellow, with orange-red as the secondary color. The font for the word "Probationary" is a bold 250-point KaiTi.
