There is an issue with the steering switch. Here are the specific details: 1. The shock absorber bearing is making noise: When turning the steering wheel, if the noise comes from outside the vehicle, check if it is coming from the shock absorber area. If so, it is likely due to insufficient lubrication in the bearing. If the noise persists after applying grease to the shock absorber's plain bearing, the only solution is to replace it at a repair shop. 2. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint: An aging steering tie rod ball joint can also cause noise in the steering wheel. The main reason is excessive play in the tie rod, leading to steering wheel noise. This issue usually cannot be repaired and requires replacing the steering tie rod ball joint to resolve the noise. However, remember to perform a wheel alignment after replacement. Alternatively, the noise could be due to loose or worn stabilizer bar bushings. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings not only cause noise when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on rough roads. If the stabilizer bar bushings are only loose, adding shims can solve the problem. If they are damaged, replacement is necessary.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Starting the Car?

There are several reasons for the squeaking noise when starting the car: 1. If the car has not been used for a while, the engine oil will flow back to the oil pan, resulting in insufficient oil in the top part of the engine, such as the valve chamber. Since the valves lack the sealing and lubrication from the oil, a hissing sound can be heard from the bottom of the car when starting it. This situation is normal. 2. A continuous hissing sound after starting the car is most likely due to an issue with the engine belt. First, check the tightness of the engine belt. You can try pinching the belt with your fingers and twisting it. Note that this operation should be performed when the engine is cool. The twisting angle should generally be less than 90 degrees; otherwise, an adjustment is needed. 3. The noise from the engine belt can also be caused by dirt accumulation. Cleaning it with water or applying some lubricant can eliminate the noise.

How Much Does a Car Weigh?

Generally, the weight of a sedan ranges from 800KG to 2000KG. Below is a detailed introduction to car weight: Automotive Design Indicators: The weight of a car, also known as the curb weight, refers to the total weight of the car when fully equipped according to factory specifications, including items like the spare tire and tools, and with all fluids filled. It is closely related to the car's design, manufacturing, and industrialization standards. The curb weight represents the car's own weight, which includes the weight of the car ready for normal driving conditions plus any attached accessories. Typical Car Weight: A small car typically weighs around 1.5 tons, with most family cars falling between 1.2 to 1.3 tons. Mid-to-high-end cars usually weigh between 1.4 to 1.6 tons, while heavier models can range from 1.8 to 2.0 tons. Excessive body weight can lead to higher fuel consumption, poorer handling, slower acceleration, and increased braking distance. Methods to Reduce Car Weight: Material-wise, lighter materials such as aluminum alloys and carbon fiber can be used. In terms of design, optimizing structural design while ensuring rigidity can reduce unnecessary material usage, thereby lowering weight and saving costs.

What are the load capacity specifications for flatbed trailers?

Domestically common flatbed trailers are generally divided into two major categories, with a total of 6 load capacity specifications. Drawbar flatbed trailers: These are flatbed trailers with at least two axles. They feature one axle that can turn 180 degrees; they are connected to the trailer via a drawbar that allows angular movement; the drawbar can move vertically and is connected to the chassis, thus it cannot bear any vertical force. Semi-trailers with hidden landing gears are also considered drawbar flatbed trailers. General-purpose drawbar flatbed trailers: These are drawbar flatbed trailers used for transporting goods in an open (flatbed) or enclosed (box-type) cargo space. The body of the flatbed trailer is made of heavy steel, commonly referred to as: heavy-duty flatbed trailers. These are large, heavy-duty trailers with strong load-bearing capacity, also known as heavy steel flatbed trailers. Heavy steel flatbed trailers are generally used for industrial transportation of large-tonnage goods, for moving goods within factories, or for transporting goods on roads.
