What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration at 80 km/h?

Steering wheel vibration when driving at 80 km/h is mostly caused by improper tire dynamic balance. Performing a dynamic balance adjustment can resolve the issue. Additional information: 1. Dynamic Balance: A car's wheel is an assembly consisting of a tire and a rim. However, due to manufacturing variations, the mass distribution of this assembly may not be perfectly uniform. When the wheel rotates at high speeds, it can create dynamic and static imbalances, leading to wheel wobble and steering wheel vibration during driving. To prevent or correct this phenomenon, weights are added to the wheel in dynamic conditions to balance the edges. 2. Regular Inspection: Tires should undergo periodic dynamic balance checks using a dynamic balance tester. Tire balance is categorized into dynamic balance and static balance. Dynamic imbalance causes wheel wobbling, resulting in wave-like tire wear, while static imbalance leads to bouncing and hopping, often causing flat spots on tires.

As a veteran driver with 30 years of experience, I've encountered several instances where the steering wheel starts shaking at around 80 km/h. The most common cause is improper tire dynamic balancing. Tires may become unbalanced during manufacturing or installation, and when the speed reaches 70-90 km/h, the rotation generates vibrations that transmit to the steering wheel. It could also be due to deformed rims or loose wheel bolts. Worn-out suspension components like shock absorbers or lower control arms can exacerbate the vibrations. I remember one time I neglected it, and the continuous shaking caused uneven tire wear and affected steering precision, nearly leading to an accident. I recommend regular four-wheel alignment and tire balancing as fundamental preventive measures. If you notice shaking, don't delay—visit a professional repair shop immediately. They can quickly diagnose and fix the root cause using specialized equipment, preventing minor issues from turning into major problems.

What to Do When Water Leaks into the Car Due to Clogged Sunroof Drain Tubes?

Flushing method: Use a syringe to flush the drain tube to clear any blockages; Air pressure method: Use an air gun to blow air into the drain holes of the two front drain tubes in the sunroof. Sunroof maintenance methods: 1. Bumpy roads: It is best not to fully open the sunroof on bumpy roads, as excessive vibration between the sunroof and the slide rails may cause deformation of related components or even damage the motor. 2. Before opening the sunroof: Always open the sunshade first to prevent the sunroof motor from overloading and malfunctioning. 3. Rainy or snowy weather: In winter, the sunroof can easily freeze after rain or snow, and the sealing strip may become frozen and hard. If the sunroof is opened immediately under these conditions, the rubber sealing strip may crack. If the sunroof is frozen, the motor may be damaged due to overload. It is advisable to turn on the heater first and wait for the ice on the sunroof to melt before opening it. 4. During car washing: When using a high-pressure water gun to wash the car, avoid directing the water stream directly at the sealing ring. This can cause the sealing ring to deform under the high pressure, leading to water leakage into the car, and may also damage the sealing ring. 5. Dusty or sandy weather: In dusty or sandy conditions, it is recommended to clean the sunroof tracks at least once a month to prevent excessive accumulation of sand particles, which can increase friction and wear out components.

What Happens When a Vehicle Runs Out of Urea?

A vehicle can continue to drive without urea, but it is necessary to replenish it promptly. Prolonged operation without urea can cause harm. Urea is a liquid used in SCR technology to reduce nitrogen oxide pollution in diesel vehicle exhaust. Driving a car without urea for an extended period can have the following effects: 1. The urea pump's nozzle and pipes are prone to crystallization blockage or high-temperature damage. 2. The emission light will turn on, torque will be limited, power will be insufficient, and the vehicle will feel very sluggish. 3. For trucks without added urea, not only will they fail the annual inspection, but the driver may also face penalties.

Will Insurance Fully Cover a Parked Vehicle Submerged in Water?

If you have purchased water ingress insurance, you can file a claim. However, according to the policy terms, there is approximately a 20% deductible rate, meaning the vehicle owner will need to pay around 20% of the repair costs. To obtain 100% coverage, you will also need to purchase a no-deductible add-on for the water ingress insurance (which is a separate policy from the no-deductible add-on for vehicle damage insurance). Steps to take if your vehicle is submerged in water: 1. Report the Incident: As soon as your vehicle is submerged, immediately call the insurance company with which your vehicle is insured to report the incident. 2. Take Photos: If the insurance adjuster cannot arrive promptly, the vehicle owner should take photos of the scene and the vehicle's damage as soon as it is safe to do so, to facilitate damage assessment and claims processing. 3. Arrange for Rescue: You can contact your insurance company for rescue services or reach out to a professional rescue company for assistance.

What is the simplest and most accurate method for parallel parking on both sides?

The simplest and most accurate method for parallel parking on both sides is introduced as follows: Identify the starting point: Taking right-side parking as an example, the car should be positioned 1.2-1.8 meters away from the left line at the starting point, with the steering wheel straight and the car body parallel to the left line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When the two coincide, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When you spot the corner of the parking space, observe the distance between the corner and the car body. If the distance is less than 30 cm, turn the steering wheel back half a turn and continue reversing. Once the car body enters the parking space and aligns parallel with the parking lines, turn the wheel back one full turn. If the distance is not less than 30 cm, do not turn the wheel back; keep reversing until the car body is parallel with the parking lines, then turn the wheel back one and a half turns at once. Align the stopping point: The stopping point is where you stop after entering the parking space. The reference method is the same as for the starting point. When you see the lower edge of the left mirror coincide with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the car. Precautions for the Subject 2 driving test: Before starting, clean both rearview mirrors and the window frames from outside the car. Adjust the rearview mirrors and seat properly and secure them. Always remember to fasten your seatbelt. When taking the parallel parking test, choose the parking space at the very back if possible. You can stop and wait before entering the parking space. Once inside, there will be a broadcast in the car announcing, "Parallel parking test begins."

How to Handle Annual Inspection with Demerit Points on Driver's License?

No annual inspection is required. According to the latest regulations from the Ministry of Public Security, drivers holding licenses for large buses, trucks, urban buses, tow trucks, or medium-sized buses and trucks (i.e., A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 licenses) do not need to undergo annual inspection for the current scoring cycle if they have no demerit points recorded. However, if there are demerit points on the license, the driver must undergo the annual inspection. The following are situations that require annual inspection: 1. Situation One: Motor vehicle drivers must, in accordance with laws and administrative regulations, periodically undergo inspection at the traffic management department of the public security authority. When drivers renew their motor vehicle driving licenses as stipulated in Articles 48 and 49 of these regulations, they must undergo inspection by the traffic management department of the public security authority. 2. Situation Two: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tow trucks, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must undergo inspection at the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit points recorded during a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted. 3. Situation Three: Drivers holding licenses for vehicle types not specified in the third paragraph of this article, who are involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their motor vehicle driving license revoked, must undergo inspection at the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle.
