What are the symptoms of a bad car CV joint?

Car CV joint failure symptoms include abnormal noises or jerking during operation. Automobile CV joints are divided into inner and outer types. To check the condition of a CV joint, it is recommended to shake it by hand to feel for any play. Normally, CV joints have tight internal fits with almost no play. If significant play is detected, it indicates severe wear and the need for replacement. The inner CV joint connects to the transmission differential, while the outer CV joint connects to the wheel hub. The outer CV joint plays a crucial role in both power transmission and vehicle turning. A typical automotive CV joint consists of a bell-shaped housing, tripod bearing steel balls, dust cover, retaining ring, and lubricating grease.

What is the automatic transmission fluid model for the 2012 Focus?

The factory-specified fluid from Ford is a specialized red-can oil labeled with the Ford logo, with the model number WSSM2C202AA. 1. Fluid exchange using a circulation machine: When replacing transmission fluid while the vehicle is running, the amount required depends on your transmission type, typically starting at 4L. It's recommended to purchase 5L, especially if the car is frequently driven, as some fluid may be consumed. However, with the gravity drain method, the fluid in the torque converter cannot be removed, leaving a significant amount of dirty old fluid in the transmission. With a circulation machine, all the fluid in the transmission is extracted, and new fluid is fully injected, ensuring a thorough replacement. 2. Main functions of transmission fluid: To keep the shifting system clean and to lubricate the transmission components, extending their lifespan. Transmission designs vary, including manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (further divided into CVT, AMT, etc.), each with different technical requirements. Even the same transmission model installed in different vehicles may differ in torque, weight, speed, and structure, so the manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid.

Can Tires with Small Cracks Still Be Used?

Tires with small cracks should not continue to be used. Below are the reasons related to small cracks in tires: 1. Causes of Cracking: Tires are made of rubber, and like all rubber materials, they will age over time, becoming harder and developing cracks. Even with normal use and good driving habits that minimize wear, tires exposed to sunlight and rain will typically show signs of aging after about five years. Spare tires, stored in the trunk, age more slowly. 2. Risks of Continued Use: If tires become hard or develop cracks, they should be replaced immediately, especially before highway driving. Aged tires have reduced grip, longer braking distances, and make vehicle control during braking more difficult. Additionally, cracked tires are prone to blowouts at high speeds, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is advisable to replace the tires as soon as possible.

What's the matter with smoke and a burning smell coming from the front of the car?

If there is smoke from the front of the car accompanied by a burning smell, it is recommended not to continue driving. Take the car to a repair shop or a 4S store for a detailed inspection. Smoke and a burning smell from the engine are mainly caused by excessive engine temperature, radiator failure, oil leakage, and friction of the clutch plates in the vehicle's transmission. The following are the details: 1. Excessive engine temperature: After the car is used under high-intensity overload conditions, the engine temperature will rise sharply, resulting in a large amount of white smoke and a burnt smell. In this case, the engine should be cooled down, and it should only be used again after the engine temperature returns to normal. 2. Radiator failure: If the car's radiator malfunctions, the engine will not be effectively cooled, leading to smoke. In this situation, a professional should be consulted to inspect and repair the radiator. 3. Oil leakage: Oil leakage can also cause smoke and a burning smell due to high-temperature evaporation. A comprehensive inspection is necessary in this case as well. 4. Friction of the clutch plates in the vehicle's transmission: For manual transmission models, if the accelerator is pressed hard while in a semi-engaged state, it can cause severe friction of the clutch plates, resulting in smoke and a burning smell from the engine. In this situation, it is important to drive correctly and avoid high-intensity overload usage of the vehicle.
