Engine mount failure primarily manifests as noise during vehicle startup. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive engine mounts: 1. Overview: An engine mount is a cushioning component that connects the engine to the vehicle frame. Most are made of rubber, while a minority use hydraulic components. Typically, engine mounts can last over 6 years without a defined replacement interval. However, they must be replaced immediately when showing signs of cracking, aging, or corrosion. 2. Function: The primary purpose of engine mounts is to reduce engine vibration transmission to the chassis. The rubber elements in engine mounts absorb resonance generated during engine operation. Some mounts also feature hydraulic pressure reduction capabilities. When damaged, engine vibration will propagate throughout the entire vehicle body.

What is the normal tire pressure for cars in autumn?

For different car models, their weights vary, and so do the standard tire pressures. Generally speaking, the standard tire pressure for household passenger cars ranges between 2.2—2.5 bar, which can be slightly higher or lower but should not deviate too much. Below is relevant information: Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: Simply put, when the tire pressure is too low, tire wear accelerates, increasing the risk of blowouts and fuel consumption. When the tire pressure is too high, tire grip decreases and wear accelerates, while braking performance weakens. Specific tire pressures: New tires: The tire pressure can be adjusted about 0.2 bar higher than the standard tire pressure of the car's original tires. Old tires: Appropriately lower the tire pressure according to the standard tire pressure of the car tires. If the wear is severe, set the tire pressure to the lower limit of the standard. Soft tires: Tires with comfort tread patterns can be adjusted about 0.2 bar higher than the standard tire pressure. Hard tires: Tires with performance tread patterns should be set to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure.

What is the professional name for a car's steering knuckle?

The professional name for a steering knuckle is 'Steering Knuckle'. It is one of the important components in a vehicle's steering system, enabling stable driving and transmitting the driver's steering actions. Below is relevant information: Function of the steering knuckle: The steering knuckle also needs to bear the front weight of the vehicle. While the vehicle is in motion, it must withstand varying impacts from the road surface, so designers generally make the steering knuckle with high strength. When the steering knuckle is damaged, the vehicle's steering performance will be affected, and the body rigidity will also decrease. Installation location: The steering knuckle is installed on the steering knuckle itself, and generally, only the front wheels have it. The steering knuckle is the hinge for wheel steering and is usually fork-shaped. The upper and lower forks have two coaxial holes for installing the kingpin, and the steering knuckle spindle is used to mount the wheel.
