The symptoms of a broken car tie rod are as follows: 1. Wheel tire shaking: At low speeds, the wheel tire exhibits shaking, jumping, and wobbling. 2. Stiff steering: The steering becomes stiff, and the vehicle is prone to drifting. 3. Ball joint rubber sleeve damage: The ball joint rubber sleeve is damaged, with oil leakage. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Chassis inspection: When inspecting the chassis, manually shake the wheels. If both wheels show significant looseness, it can be inferred that the steering gear is damaged; if the tie rod is broken, it will be accompanied by noise. Additionally, the tie rod has a rubber sleeve—first check if the rubber sleeve is damaged. Generally, tie rod damage is mostly caused by rubber sleeve damage. 2. Car chassis overview: The chassis typically refers to the car chassis, which is the main framework of the vehicle's underside. All power components, including the engine, transmission, differential, and suspension system, are installed on the chassis. The chassis consists of four parts: the drivetrain, running gear, steering system, and braking system. It supports and installs the car engine and its components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal operation.

Having driven for decades, I've personally experienced a broken tie rod, and the feeling is truly unpleasant: the car body wobbles when turning the steering wheel, and the vehicle constantly pulls to one side, especially noticeable on highways; there's a sharp squeaking sound during acceleration or cornering, like metal grinding; in severe cases, the tires wear excessively, with one side wearing out faster; the steering wheel shakes violently when braking, the car body becomes unstable, and it's prone to losing control. These phenomena all indicate safety risks. I recommend getting it checked at a professional auto repair shop as soon as you notice any of these signs—don't delay to avoid accidents.

Why is there no sound when playing music via Bluetooth connection between the car and phone?

The reasons why there is no sound when playing music via Bluetooth connection between the car and phone include: the volume on the car navigation system or phone is not turned on, the phone's playback protocol is incompatible with the car model's pairing code, or the multimedia music feature of the car's Bluetooth is not enabled. Volume on the car navigation system or phone is not turned on: If the volume is not turned on, naturally there will be no sound. Solution: Go to the phone's "Settings" - "Sound", find the "Media" option, and turn up the "Media" volume. The same applies to the car navigation system; find the sound settings and increase the volume. Phone's playback protocol is incompatible with the car model's pairing code: Some phones (such as iPhones) have music playback protocols that are incompatible with certain car models' pairing codes, so they can only receive calls but not play music. Solution: It is recommended to change the Bluetooth playback frequency band to resolve the issue. Multimedia music feature of the car's Bluetooth is not enabled: Solution: Find the multimedia option on the screen, select Bluetooth music playback, and the sound will appear.

How Many Car Keys Are Generally Provided?

Newly manufactured cars generally come with two keys, both identical in style and functionality for the convenience of the owner. Car keys are typically categorized into three types: Mechanical Key: The primary and spare mechanical keys are identical. If the primary key is lost, you can simply purchase a key blank and have it cut to match the spare key. However, if someone finds the lost key, they can easily unlock the car door and start the vehicle. Standard Remote Key: A standard remote key consists of a remote control plus a mechanical key. If one remote is lost, you only need to take the spare remote and a newly purchased one to the dealership for reprogramming, after which the lost remote will become invalid. Chip Key: If a chip key is lost, you can purchase a new key and bring both the spare key and the new one to the dealership for reprogramming. In this case, anyone who finds the lost key can only use the mechanical key to open the door but cannot start the engine.

What is the difference between AT and AMT automatic transmissions?

AT and AMT transmissions mainly differ in the following aspects: Different vehicle classes: Both are automatic transmissions, and comfort is related to the vehicle model and the performance tuning of each car. However, there are some differences in technical processes and principles. AMT and AT are transmissions equipped on vehicles of different classes. Different principles: The AMT transmission, also known as an automated manual transmission, is an abbreviation for electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission. It is an automatic shifting system based on a dry clutch and gear transmission, controlled by a microcomputer. The AT automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms for shifting and can automatically change gears based on the degree of throttle pedal depression and changes in vehicle speed, while the driver only needs to operate the accelerator pedal to control the speed.

Is a severely scratched outer tire serious?

Whether a scratched outer tire is serious depends on the specific situation: Tire sidewall scratch: If the tire sidewall is scratched, it is essential to replace the tire as soon as possible to avoid the danger of a high-speed blowout. Although damage is not easily encountered, once it occurs, replacement is generally necessary. Therefore, car owners should be cautious about sidewall damage during daily use. Deep outer tire damage: If the contact surface is damaged beyond 4mm, the tire must also be replaced promptly, as both internal and external repairs pose potential risks. Note: Special attention should be paid to protecting the sidewalls when going over curbs or road edges. Avoid not only frontal collisions but also side scrapes, as side impacts are more damaging to the tire than frontal ones. Regular tire maintenance is also important. Check the tire pressure, cracks, and wear. Generally, under normal conditions, the tire pressure when the car is cold should be 2.2-2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.4-2.5 bar for the rear tires, which falls within the normal range. However, some vehicles may have 2.4-2.5 bar for the front and 2.2-2.3 bar for the rear. The actual tire pressure should be based on the vehicle's specified standards. Both overinflation and underinflation pose certain hazards to driving safety and even increase risks. For example, overinflation causes the middle part of the tire to bulge slightly, reducing ride comfort and leading to abnormal wear, where the middle wears out faster while the sides wear more slowly. Driving at high temperatures and speeds increases the likelihood of a tire blowout.

Which car brand features a lion logo?

A car brand featuring a lion logo is Dongfeng Peugeot Automobile, which is a brand under the Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company Ltd. In October 2002, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and the French PSA Group (Peugeot Citroën Group) signed an expanded cooperation joint venture contract, marking a powerful alliance between the two groups to fully implement a new blueprint for introducing the Peugeot brand into China, thus giving birth to Dongfeng Peugeot. Dongfeng Peugeot Brand Logo: The lion image is the logo of the Peugeot brand, first applied to Peugeot's saw blades in 1847, and by the mid-1880s, it evolved into the sole manufacturing trademark of Peugeot. As the symbol of the brand, for 150 years, all Peugeot products, past and present, have borne the lion mark. The lion can be seen on the hood or front grille of Peugeot cars. Dongfeng Peugeot Brand History: The French Peugeot Automobile Company has a long history, spanning over a century, and its automobile production history is second only to the automotive pioneer Daimler-Benz. However, unlike Daimler-Benz, its origins were not in the automotive industry. Before entering the automobile sector, Peugeot was involved in a wide range of products, including hardware tools, household appliances, crinolines, telescopes, springs for pince-nez glasses, saw blades, surgical instruments, shotguns, radios, sewing machines, and more. Before the advent of the automobile era, Peugeot also had a considerable production scale in bicycles, motorcycles, and transport trucks.

What Type of Snow Chains Do Not Damage Car Tires?

Rubber snow chains are a type of snow chain that does not damage car tires. They are made of highly elastic and wear-resistant rubber, offering advantages such as low-temperature resistance, wear resistance, excellent elasticity, strong friction, and high tensile strength. Types of snow chains: iron chains, polyurethane chains, rubber chains, and steel cable snow chains. Iron chains, some of which are steel chains, are widely used and the most common and classic type. Their pros and cons are obvious. The advantages are that they are very affordable, sturdy, and durable. The disadvantages include loud noise, difficulty in installation and removal, heaviness, and most critically, they cause significant wear to tires. This is because, apart from the front and back sides of the tire being secured by steel wires, the exposed part of the iron chain on the tire surface moves freely back and forth. During the anti-skid process, the interaction between the iron chain, ground, and tire causes severe damage to the tire, described by some as 'grinding the tire like a file.' Polyurethane chains are easy to install and have an attractive appearance. They are also a type of plastic, but in low-temperature environments, the polyurethane material becomes brittle. Rubber chains have excellent elasticity, can return to their original shape after external force is removed, and offer better wear resistance and friction. They are more suitable for family cars, produce less noise, are easy to install, and provide good anti-skid performance. Steel cable snow chains are easy to install, sturdy, and durable. However, since they have no elasticity at all, they gradually loosen as the vehicle moves, which can easily lead to safety hazards.
