Rear wheel lock-up can be caused by water entering the brake drum, hard emergency braking, sticking of the master cylinder rubber cup preventing it from returning to position, among other reasons. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire Overview: Tires are the only components of a vehicle that make contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For example, some front-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this practice is acceptable. Tire Aging: Tires are rubber products and will age over time with prolonged use. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during this period. This is because tires can also age when left unused for extended periods, so it's important to check the production date when purchasing new tires.

Why Does the Hyundai Tucson Engine Make Abnormal Noises While Driving?

Reasons for abnormal noises from the Hyundai Tucson engine while driving: 1. Engine knocking. The symptom is the engine making a "clanging" noise, mainly caused by the piston skirt hitting the cylinder wall during operation. 2. Abnormal noises in the intake and exhaust system. For example, an intake manifold leak can cause noise at idle, which intensifies as the engine speed increases. 3. A "hissing" noise from the engine may indicate issues with the cooling system, leading to engine overheating. 4. A "squeaking" noise from the engine, especially more noticeable when the air conditioning is turned on. 5. A "clicking" noise from the engine could likely be due to engine carbon buildup.

Can I replace 55w car lights with 100w?

It is not advisable to replace 55w car lights with 100w. You should not install bulbs that exceed the original wattage because the vehicle's electrical circuits and components are designed specifically for 55w. Using higher-wattage bulbs for extended periods may cause the system to be overloaded or lead to component failure, which can result in damage or malfunction and is also unsafe. The functions of car lights are: 1. Activating turn signals to alert trailing vehicles and reduce rear-end collisions; 2. Improving visibility of road conditions to enhance driving safety; 3. Informing following vehicles that you are braking, prompting them to slow down; 4. Turning on hazard lights during emergencies or in poor visibility conditions to alert other vehicles.
