There are several reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel: 1. Loose stabilizer bar bushings, which can be resolved by adding shims. 2. Dirty power steering fluid, requiring timely replacement. 3. Abnormal noise from the turn signal rebound clip, which disappears when the turn signal is turned off. 4. Friction noise between the steering column and floor mat, caused by oversized floor mats directly contacting the steering column. 5. Faulty clock spring, caused by interference. Applying grease to the clock spring after removing the steering wheel airbag may help. If the noise persists, the clock spring needs replacement. 6. Lack of lubrication in the shock absorber top bearing, producing noise from outside the vehicle. Applying grease can resolve this issue.

Does Replacing the Horn on a New Car Affect the Warranty?

Replacing the horn on a new car does not affect the warranty. Maintenance Cycle: 4S shops will formulate the vehicle maintenance cycle based on the actual local usage conditions, which may differ from the maintenance cycle recommended in the official manual for some parts. Maintenance Notes: If the local environment is harsh or the road conditions are poor, the maintenance cycle should be appropriately shortened, especially for the air filter element and the cabin air filter element. Additionally, the quality and model of various fluids must not be mistaken; choose fluids with the appropriate model and good quality. The replacement of brake pads, wiper blades, batteries, tires, etc., depends on the wear condition, so regular inspections are necessary. Maintenance Items: Mainly include replacing the engine oil and oil filter, replacing the cabin air filter as needed, inspecting the battery, brake pedal and parking brake, brake pads and brake discs, brake fluid, clutch fluid, tires and tire pressure, lights, horn, wipers, and washers.

How to Clean Adhesive Residue from Car Paint?

Here are the methods to clean adhesive residue from car paint: 1. First, use a hot towel or a hair dryer to heat the adhesive. After a while, try to peel it off. Before peeling, it's best to vigorously rub the area with a wet towel, as sometimes the adhesive can be wiped off directly. Be careful during removal, as improper methods can easily damage the car paint. 2. You can try using essential balm to remove the adhesive. Soak a cloth with some essential balm, moisten the adhesive, and then wipe it clean in a clockwise circular motion. 3. For tougher adhesives like practice stickers, it's best to slowly peel them off with your fingernails, being careful not to tear them. Then, use tar remover or similar products to wipe off any remaining residue. 4. For larger areas or very stubborn adhesives, use a car-specific adhesive remover. When using the remover, first clean the area with a dry cloth, evenly spray an appropriate amount of the remover, and then wipe it off with a wet cloth. Alternatively, you can go directly to a 4S store for car detailing and have the workers remove it for you.
