Front wheel alignment includes four parameters: caster, kingpin inclination, camber, and toe. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Caster: The role of caster is to improve the stability of the vehicle during straight-line driving, meaning that when the steering wheel encounters obstacles and deviates during driving, the wheels can automatically return to the correct position. 2. Kingpin inclination: The role of kingpin inclination is to make steering easier and provide an automatic return effect for the wheels. 3. Camber: The role of camber is to enhance the safety of wheel operation and the ease of steering control, while also adapting to arched road surfaces. 4. Toe: The role of toe is to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of the front wheels spreading outward due to camber during driving.

Can water-damaged vehicles be compensated?

If a car is water-damaged, it can be compensated, but the vehicle damage insurance must have been purchased after September 19, 2020. Here are the reasons: 1. Including water damage insurance: Because it includes waterlogging insurance, commercial auto insurance purchased before September 19, 2020, must include both vehicle damage insurance and waterlogging insurance to be eligible for compensation. For relatively low-priced cars, if they have both waterlogging insurance and vehicle damage insurance, and the engine is damaged, full compensation can be provided. 2. Repair based on vehicle age: For very old cars that have lost their repair value, they will be treated as scrapped. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the vehicle's value, the insurance company will consult with used car dealers to sell the vehicle.

What Causes Idle Shaking, Lack of Power During Acceleration, and Jerking?

Here are the possible reasons for idle shaking, lack of power during acceleration, and jerking: 1. Spark plug electrode erosion Severe erosion of spark plug electrodes, high-voltage wire leakage, or carbon buildup in the throttle body may be the cause. If the oxygen sensor malfunctions, it will affect the electronic fuel injection system, leading to idle shaking, lack of power during acceleration, and jerking. 2. Regular inspection: If the car exhibits shaking at idle or lack of power during acceleration, it indicates a fault in the engine system. The first step should be to inspect the condition of critical engine components, especially those affecting the ignition system, such as spark plugs. During daily driving, it is essential to regularly check the condition of car components and replace faulty parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.

How many bottles of refrigerant does a small car generally require?

Small cars generally require 4 bottles of refrigerant. Introduction to automotive refrigerant: Automotive refrigerant, also known as car coolant or commonly called "snow seed" in Chinese, is divided into environmentally friendly R134a and non-environmentally friendly R12. Since R12 severely damages the atmospheric ozone layer and produces greenhouse effects, endangering the environment on which humans depend, its use has been restricted and banned. Nowadays, most car air conditioning systems are environmentally friendly and use R134a refrigerant. Precautions for refrigerant charging: There should be a proper measurement when charging automotive refrigerant - too much is not good, and too little won't achieve the desired effect. Whether charging or discharging, professional tools and certain skills are required. It's recommended to have this done at professional repair shops or 4S stores for more professional and safer operation.

What Causes the Thumping Sound in the Chassis When Braking?

Braking with a thumping sound in the chassis is caused by: 1. The metal in the brake pads being too hard, generating noise during braking; 2. Uneven brake discs, which are prone to produce noise when braking; 3. Protrusions on the edges of the brake discs due to natural wear; 4. Malfunctions in the braking system or loose connecting parts in the chassis; 5. Electronic linkage between the braking system and the automatic transmission. The automobile chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. Its function is to support and install the automobile engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the automobile, receiving the power from the engine to make the automobile move and ensuring normal driving.
