What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking When Braking?

Here are the specific reasons for steering wheel shaking when braking: 1. Wheel balancing issue: A car wheel consists of a tire and a rim. When there's a problem with the wheel balancing, it means the wheel is not in a balanced state during high-speed driving. If the balancing data is incorrect, the wheel's rotation center will shift, causing the wheel to vibrate, which in turn affects the steering wheel. 2. Rim problem: If the car's rim has previously suffered an impact during driving, causing deformation. Due to the deformed rim, the wheel will vibrate while driving, leading to steering wheel shaking. 3. Chassis component issue: This usually occurs in vehicles with poor post-accident repairs. Due to the impact during the accident affecting chassis components, steering wheel shaking may also occur.

Steering wheel shaking during braking is something I've encountered several times over my years of driving. The most common cause is warped or unevenly worn brake rotors—when you apply the brakes, uneven pressure gets transmitted to the steering wheel. It could also be due to severely worn brake pads, loose suspension components, or even tire balance issues. If the shaking is more noticeable when braking at highway speeds, get to a repair shop immediately. I ignored it last time and nearly had an accident—just have the brake rotors and calipers checked. Remember, regular maintenance prevents problems. Always choose high-quality brake pads when replacing them—don't cut corners on safety. Smooth braking while driving also reduces wear.

Is it normal for the Cruze to shake during cold starts and then stabilize after a while?

Yes, the Cruze may shake during cold starts but will stabilize after a while. The specific reasons for cold start shaking are as follows: 1. Low ignition energy causing shaking: When the engine temperature is too low, both fuel and lubricant temperatures are low. During a cold start, a richer air-fuel mixture is required, which in turn demands higher ignition energy. Excessive spark plug gap, aging ignition coils, or high-voltage coils can all lead to reduced ignition energy, resulting in vehicle shaking. 2. Incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio causing shaking: During cold starts, certain engine sensors or some sensor signals may have significant errors, causing the ECU to make incorrect judgments. This leads to inaccuracies in fuel injection timing and ignition timing control, resulting in engine shaking. 3. Uneven cylinder conditions causing engine shaking: In multi-cylinder engines, significant differences in ignition energy between cylinders, as well as varying degrees of wear on pistons and piston rings, can cause inconsistent compression ratios. This results in uneven engine power output, manifesting as engine shaking.

How to switch between internal and external circulation in Audi A6L?

On the central control operation panel, there are switch buttons for external circulation and internal circulation. The following is a related introduction about the Audi A6L: 1. Introduction: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100, codenamed C3, introduced in China in 1988. The Audi A6L is a vehicle series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the new German A6 and is the successor to the A6. In June 2012, the new-generation Audi A6L was launched, equipped with a 35-TFSI powertrain, and its exterior design somewhat resembles the new version of the A4L. 2. Design: The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and comfort with lower static stiffness. Among them, the hydraulic form of the frame vibration damping support significantly improves the vehicle's driving comfort and effectively reduces the impact and jerky feeling when passing over speed bumps and uneven road surfaces, thereby reducing the impact on the lumbar spine.

What does '4S store sales within the province' mean?

It refers to the regulation by automobile manufacturers that the sales scope of a 4S store is limited to the province where the store is located. Below is relevant information: 1. Nationwide sales: Vehicles sold nationwide can be registered anywhere, while vehicles sold within the province must be registered within that province. Generally, vehicles sold within the province come with greater discounts, whereas nationwide sales follow a unified national guide price with smaller discounts. Environmental requirements vary by region, meaning some vehicles can only be driven locally and cannot be transferred to other regions, thus limiting their sales to the province. 2. Advantages: The terms '4S store sales within the province' and 'nationwide sales' originate from the regional protection policies of automobile manufacturers. These policies are implemented to prevent vicious competition among 4S stores in different regions. Due to varying manufacturer incentives, market competition, and brand effects across regions, regional protection policies allow manufacturers to effectively adjust and control the sales market.

What are the solutions for the Chevrolet Cruze's sluggish acceleration and lack of power?

The solutions for the Chevrolet Cruze's sluggish acceleration and lack of power are as follows: 1. High-voltage wires: Replace the original high-resistance ignition wires (typically around 5,000 ohms) with low-resistance wires to maximize the energy transfer from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. However, be cautious of symptoms such as spark jumping and interference. 2. Stabilizer bar: Connect the vehicle's shock towers to enhance body rigidity and prevent deformation of the shocks or body due to aggressive driving. 3. Throttle body upgrade: This can significantly increase air intake flow, but excessive modification may cause engine knocking due to an overly lean air-fuel mixture.

Why does the Sylphy's engine speed increase but the speed doesn't go up when climbing a slope?

It is most likely a symptom of clutch plate burning. Please pay attention to whether there is any loss of rotation while driving, that is, when you step on the accelerator, the engine speed increases, but the vehicle speed does not increase or increases very slowly. If this happens, replace the clutch plate and pressure plate immediately. If there is no such phenomenon, normal use is fine. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: For friction plate clutches, if the tightening torque is insufficient, slipping will occur, resulting in high engine speed but the car not speeding up. If the transmission oil has not been replaced for too long or the hydraulic mechanism in the transmission is damaged, it can also cause high engine speed but the car not speeding up. You can first check the condition of the transmission oil and then troubleshoot other fault factors. Note 2: There is a fault in the engine's electronic control system, such as problems with oil pressure or sensors. Generally, it manifests as a sudden drop in speed while driving, and the engine speed does not increase even when stepping on the accelerator, and the car cannot speed up. This may be caused by excessive carbon deposits in the engine, insufficient fuel pressure, or poor ignition and combustion. It is recommended to check whether the car's spark plugs need to be replaced and whether the throttle valve needs to be cleaned.

Is the 4G15F Engine Outdated?

4G15F engine is not outdated. Here is some relevant information about this engine: 1. Advantages: This engine, based on Great Wall's independently developed technology, incorporates many cutting-edge advanced technologies in the industry, bringing some high-end technologies down to the small SUV segment. For example, the multi-point electronic fuel injection technology allows fuel to be injected into each intake manifold, ensuring thorough mixing of air and fuel for complete combustion. 2. Modifications: To comply with the China VI emission standards, the GW4G15F engine upgraded the original 6-hole injector scheme of the GW4G15B engine to an 8-hole injector. The injector aperture was reduced, and the fuel pressure was increased to 4.5bar, improving gasoline atomization during the injection process.
