When the car is moving, the wheels wobble and the overall vehicle vibration increases. Below is a detailed explanation of the symptoms of a damaged rear wheel bearing: Methods to determine if it is damaged: You can accelerate the car and then coast in neutral. If the humming sound does not change, it indicates a damaged rear wheel bearing. Causes of rear wheel bearing damage: Damage or rust on components, the entry of foreign objects, or misalignment of the roller tracks can cause damage. Prolonged exposure to acidic liquids or moisture can also lead to rust on components; poor lubrication—if there is insufficient grease between the rollers and the raceway, dry friction can occur, resulting in metallic friction noises; spacing issues—there should be appropriate gaps between car parts. If the distance between the rollers and the raceway decreases, it can lead to friction, overheating, and bearing seizure.

What are the effects of a faulty carbon canister purge solenoid valve on a car?

The malfunctioning of a car's carbon canister purge solenoid valve not only increases fuel consumption but also affects the normal operation of the car's engine. Working principle of the carbon canister purge solenoid valve: activated carbon adsorbs fuel vapor, and when the car starts, the solenoid valve controls the opening of the activated carbon canister, reintroducing the absorbed fuel vapor into the intake manifold for combustion, achieving the goals of fuel saving and environmental protection. When the carbon canister purge solenoid valve is damaged, it cannot open or close the carbon canister. If the carbon canister purge solenoid valve fails to open, fuel vapor cannot enter the cylinder for combustion; if it is damaged and cannot close, remaining in a constantly open mode, it leads to an overly rich air-fuel mixture and incomplete combustion, causing most of the unburned fuel to be expelled from the car, resulting in fuel wastage and increased fuel consumption.

How much antifreeze should generally be added?

The recommended amount of antifreeze to add is approximately 4 liters, but this should be adjusted according to the actual condition of the vehicle. Insufficient antifreeze can cause the engine or radiator to freeze and crack, leading to engine failure. The antifreeze reservoir has water level markings, including a maximum and minimum level. It is advisable to fill the antifreeze to a level between the maximum and minimum marks. Adding too much antifreeze can cause overflow, and since antifreeze is somewhat corrosive, it may damage rubber components in the vehicle. Adding too little antifreeze may result in the engine or radiator freezing or even cracking in cold weather, and it will not provide sufficient cooling, which can also lead to engine failure.

Which is better for aluminum alloy wheels, forged or cast?

Casting. 1. Sound test: High-quality aluminum produces denser wheels, resulting in a clearer ringing sound when tapped. Wheels made using liquid aluminum forging technology produce the clearest sound, with echoes sometimes lasting several seconds. If the sound is dull or almost nonexistent, it's best to avoid them. 2. Surface inspection: High-quality wheels, aside from excellent surface coating, rarely have sand holes. When purchasing, inspect each wheel carefully to ensure no deformation or wear from packaging or transportation. 3. Balance check: Visually check if the wheel is round when rotating—if it appears uneven, discard it immediately. If it's round, check for imbalance; according to OEM standards, anything below 30g is generally acceptable.
