Frequently accelerate and release the throttle to check for any play in the front axle's CV joints. Excessive play in the CV joint can cause slight wheel wobble during initial acceleration. There will also be a noticeable power transfer process when releasing the throttle. You can also manually inspect by firmly gripping the axle and quickly twisting it back and forth to detect any play. Below is more information about inner CV joints in cars: 1. Generally, new CV joints are tightly fitted with almost no detectable play by hand. The CV joint boot is filled with high-temperature resistant lubricating grease (molybdenum disulfide), which appears black-blue in color. Its characteristic is that it maintains good form and lubrication even under high-temperature conditions. 2. Strictly speaking, CV joints are highly durable with extremely rigid friction surfaces. However, they must be protected by rubber boots to strictly prevent water and sand particles from entering. Once sand particles enter, wear accelerates dramatically, and play will quickly develop. If not replaced promptly after significant play occurs, it can lead to damage to other front axle components, such as the steering ball joint tie rod boots and the entire suspension system.

Is it necessary to cover a car with a car cover?

It is necessary to cover a car with a car cover. The following are the functions of a car cover: 1. Block UV radiation: A car cover can help outdoor parked cars resist damage from UV radiation, direct sunlight, acid rain, bird droppings, windblown sand, and animal claws. In the hot summers of South Asia, many cars parked outdoors are covered to varying degrees. 2. Prevent dirt: Protect against dust, water, rain, and snow. Resist UV damage to the car paint/interior. To some extent, it provides insulation, preventing excessive interior temperatures in summer. Avoid scratches from pedestrians or children, and also enhance the car's appearance, making it full of fashionable charm. High-end RV covers mostly use solemn colors and high-quality materials.

How to Deal with Being Caught Cheating on a Driver's License Test?

All behaviors that violate the discipline regulations of the driver's license test are considered cheating, such as bringing notes, mobile phones, and wireless communication devices into the examination room. For those whose cumulative penalty points are less than 12, applying to the traffic police department to participate in traffic order maintenance activities can reduce 1 point for every 4 hours of duty. If a motor vehicle has more than 3 violation records, and after being notified by the traffic police department, the owner fails to accept the penalty and pay the fine, the traffic police may impound the vehicle.
