The symptoms of a bad front wheel hub bearing: When driving, the car will emit a humming noise, which is very loud and sounds different from tire noise; try driving for half an hour, then lightly touch the hub area of the damaged bearing with the back of your hand after getting out of the car. If the bearing is damaged, it will generate a lot of heat and may even be hot to the touch. Whether it's a new or old car, it's important to regularly check the car's bearings while driving to prevent issues. However, when inspecting, pay attention to whether the bearing shows signs of wear, if there is friction noise when rotating, or if the suspension and wheel combination decelerate abnormally when turning.

What gear should be used when driving uphill in a manual-automatic transmission car?

When driving uphill in a manual-automatic transmission car, you can switch to manual mode and then select 1st or 2nd gear to maintain the engine speed above 3000 RPM for climbing. A manual-automatic transmission combines the manual and automatic shifting methods of a car. The manual mode allows you to freely adjust the gear and engine speed, providing a thrilling and sporty driving experience, full of driving pleasure. The automatic transmission significantly reduces the impact of manual shifting on the car's drivetrain, thereby extending the vehicle's lifespan and improving ride comfort. It can select the appropriate gear based on road conditions, ensuring the engine operates optimally. For cars frequently navigating complex road conditions, it allows the driver to avoid frequent clutch engagement and gear shifting, thus reducing driver fatigue.

How to Identify the Number of Pistons in a Brake Caliper?

Methods to identify the number of pistons in a brake caliper: It can be distinguished by appearance. There will be several circular protrusions on the caliper, which are the pistons. The pistons in the caliper are symmetrically arranged on both sides, increasing braking force while ensuring even distribution. When counting the pistons, owners only need to count one side (symmetrical), and the total number of pistons is the number of protrusions multiplied by two. As the component that applies force to the brake disc, the brake piston is crucial. Most ordinary family cars use single-piston calipers, usually located on the rear side of the brake disc, so from the outside, owners can only see the caliper and the brake pads fixed on it.

How to Install Car Rain Guards?

Installation method for car rain guards: 1. Clean the area where the rain guards will be installed to ensure there are no debris that might prevent proper adhesion; 2. Compare the rain guard with the side mirror to check if the size is correct; 3. Once confirmed, peel off the 3M adhesive backing on the rain guard and attach it; 4. Press the rain guard firmly back and forth with your hand to ensure it is securely fixed. Car owners can also use a hairdryer to heat the adhesive for better bonding strength. Car rain guards serve two purposes: rain protection and sun protection. When driving in light rain, you can slightly open the window for ventilation. Thanks to the rain guard, rainwater won’t enter, providing some rain protection. Additionally, since rain guards are usually black and semi-transparent, they can partially block direct sunlight from the driver’s eyes, reducing potential safety hazards.
