Symptoms of a faulty drive shaft in the Teana are as follows: 1. There is a knocking sound from the drive shaft when starting the car or during gear changes while driving, especially noticeable when driving at low speeds in high gears. 2. No abnormal noise from the drive shaft when starting the car, but knocking sounds occur while driving. 3. No abnormal noise from the drive shaft when starting the car, but unusual sounds appear when the car is coasting. 4. Continuous noise throughout the entire driving process. Below is some relevant information about the drive shaft: 1. The drive shaft consists of a shaft tube, a telescopic sleeve, and universal joints. The telescopic sleeve can automatically adjust the distance changes between the transmission and the drive axle. The universal joint ensures the angle changes between the transmission output shaft and the drive axle input shaft, enabling equal angular velocity transmission between the two shafts. 2. The drive shaft is a crucial component in the vehicle's drivetrain for transmitting power. Its role, together with the transmission and drive axle, is to transfer the engine's power to the wheels, generating driving force for the car.

What are the commonly used transmission devices?

Classification of automotive transmission devices: According to different energy transfer methods, they can be divided into mechanical transmission, hydraulic transmission, hydrostatic transmission, and electric transmission. Based on structure and transmission medium, their types include mechanical, hydromechanical, hydrostatic (volumetric hydraulic), and electric. Below is a related introduction: 1. Definition of transmission devices: A transmission device (Transmission device) is an intermediate device that transfers the power from the power unit to the working mechanism. The basic function of the transmission system is to transmit the power generated by the engine to the driving wheels of the vehicle, generating driving force to enable the vehicle to travel at a certain speed. 2. Structure of transmission devices: The transmission device is an intermediate mechanism that transfers the motion and power from the prime mover to the working mechanism. Its composition and arrangement vary depending on the type of engine, installation position, and the intended use of the vehicle. 3. Function of transmission devices: The transmission system has functions such as deceleration, speed change, reversing, power interruption, inter-wheel differential, and inter-axle differential. Working in conjunction with the engine, it ensures normal vehicle operation under various working conditions, providing good power performance and fuel economy.

What is the capture distance for solid line lane changing violations?

The capture distance for solid line lane changing violations ranges from 15 to 30 meters. According to Article 90 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibited line markings will result in a deduction of 3 points. Changing lanes by crossing solid lines violates traffic marking instructions and is subject to a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 3 points. Situations involving solid line lane changing include: 1. Novice drivers: Many novice drivers realize they are on the wrong path only when they reach the solid line area. For example, needing to turn right at an intersection but being in the middle lane, they may have to change lanes at the solid line near the intersection, where they are easily caught by traffic cameras within a 100-meter range. 2. Traffic congestion: When encountering long queues in the current lane, some drivers choose to cross the solid line to switch to a less congested lane, which not only disrupts traffic flow but also increases the likelihood of being caught by traffic cameras. 3. Special circumstances: Such as when there is a traffic accident ahead, malfunctioning traffic signals, natural disasters affecting road conditions, or the presence of emergency vehicles requiring lane changes over solid lines. In these cases, the action is not considered a violation.

Where should the jack be placed when changing front tires?

When replacing front or rear tires, you can use stones or bricks to stabilize the vehicle's front axle and rear axle. Dig a pit under the tire to be removed so that the tire is suspended and can be replaced. When the vehicle is lifted by a jack, never start the engine, as the vibration of the engine or the rotation of the wheels may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, creating a hazard. Below is an introduction to the classification of jacks: 1. Screw Jack: The screw jack has no self-locking function on its threads and is equipped with a brake. Releasing the brake allows the load to descend quickly, reducing return time, but this type of jack has a more complex structure. Screw jacks can support heavy loads for long periods, with a maximum lifting capacity of up to 100t, and are widely used. When equipped with a horizontal screw at the bottom, they can also move the load over small distances. 2. Hydraulic Jack: Used in hydraulic transmission systems as an intermediate medium, it plays a role in transferring and converting energy. It also lubricates, protects against corrosion, cools, and flushes components within the hydraulic system. 3. Electric Jack: The jack is equipped with a pressure-holding device to prevent overpressure. If overpressured, the jack cannot return to a certain position. A special structure provides dual protection for the jack. When equipped with a diving device, the jack can achieve high travel with a low height.

Is the first car maintenance always free?

Not all first car maintenance services are free. The free items for the first maintenance only cover basic services, and any additional maintenance beyond the basic package will incur extra charges. The free maintenance components mainly include three categories, as detailed below: 1. Free engine oil. The oil provided for free maintenance is usually low-grade; upgrading to high-grade oil requires the owner to pay the price difference. 2. Free oil filter maintenance. This includes both the engine oil and all filters. 3. Some brands also offer free air filters. Below is an overview of car maintenance: 1. Regular maintenance: Changing the engine oil and oil filter, along with a full vehicle inspection. Typically done every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Intermediate maintenance: Besides changing the engine oil and oil filter, it may include cleaning the throttle body. Some 4S shops may offer additional services as part of an intermediate maintenance package, such as wheel alignment, usually performed every 15,000 kilometers. 3. Major maintenance: Generally done every 30,000 kilometers. This may include cleaning the fuel system, replacing all vehicle fluids, spark plugs, cabin air filters, and engine air filters. Additional items may include timing belt replacement (usually every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers), and brake pads or tires, depending on their condition.
