When the inner CV joint of a car is damaged, it will produce a clicking sound, and the symptoms are as follows: 1. The main symptom is the jamming of the steel balls, which will cause a clicking sound, but this must occur when changing direction. 2. Another scenario is the shattering of the steel balls, where the engine's power cannot be transmitted to the wheels, and the inner and outer CV joints slip. This is usually caused by the destruction of the CV joint boot and the lack of lubricating oil. 3. When the outer CV joint of a car is damaged, a clicking sound will occur when the car turns. Below are the functions of the CV joint in a car: (1) The function of the CV joint in a car is to connect the drive shaft to the wheels, making it a very crucial component in the car's transmission system. (2) It allows the driving force to be continuously transmitted to the wheels in any direction, especially when the wheels are bumpy, where its effect is most significant. (3) The inner CV joint connects to the transmission transfer case, while the outer CV joint connects to the wheels. Whether it's power output or when the car turns, generally, it is the outer CV joint that plays the main role.

Should a Car Cross the Pedestrian Crossing When Making a U-turn?

A car should cross the pedestrian crossing when making a U-turn. Although cases of being photographed, fined, or penalized for making a U-turn on a pedestrian crossing are rare, it does not mean this method of U-turn is correct. The regulation requiring vehicles to cross the pedestrian crossing before making a U-turn is to prevent pedestrians or small vehicles from suddenly running a red light or to avoid situations where pedestrians are caught in the middle of the crossing when the light turns red. According to the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns on pedestrian crossings. However, at intersections without a no-U-turn sign, U-turns are permitted as long as they do not obstruct the normal flow of other vehicles. Some intersections may have yellow solid or dashed lines or gaps before the stop line, allowing U-turns at any time unless there is a no-U-turn sign, provided it does not hinder other vehicles.

What is an AMT Transmission?

AMT is an automatic transmission. This type of transmission adds a set of control mechanisms to a manual transmission, which can control the clutch and gear shifting. AMT transmissions have been phased out and are rarely seen in vehicles today. AMT transmissions have relatively slow shifting speeds and significant jerking during gear changes. Automatic transmissions are devices that can automatically shift gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to manual transmissions. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission.

What is the difference between Mobil Universal and Mobil Cyclone?

Mobil Universal and Mobil Cyclone differ in that Mobil Universal has better lubricating properties. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as Engine-oil in English. Its density is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

Can the vehicle be transferred without returning to its original location?

Can the vehicle be transferred without returning to its original location? The answer is yes. Vehicle file extraction is a step in the vehicle transfer process. When transferring a vehicle to a different location, the file must be extracted from the current location and transferred to the new registration location. For out-of-town transfers, the vehicle must be driven for inspection before proceeding with the subsequent steps. Below are some of the required materials for vehicle transfer: 1. Original and photocopy of the current vehicle owner's ID; 2. Original vehicle license; 3. Original vehicle inspection record (with standard vehicle photo and chassis number imprint); 4. Power of Attorney and agent's ID (if the vehicle registration and related procedures are handled by an agent).
