The causes of steering wheel vibration at idle are: 1. Damaged engine ignition coils or spark plugs, preventing the engine from running smoothly; 2. Poor fuel quality leading to excessive carbon buildup inside the engine; 3. Worn or damaged engine or transmission mounts, failing to provide proper vibration damping; 4. Dirty engine throttle body; 5. Faulty spark plugs. The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines, functioning to convert the driver's input force at the wheel rim into torque transmitted to the steering shaft. When parking, always return the steering wheel to the center position to prevent unnecessary stress on the suspension system and tires.

What is guide rail oil?

Guide rail oil is a specialized lubricating oil for guide rails, also known as guide rail hydraulic oil. It is commonly used in mechanical equipment components made of high-carbon steel and bearing steel materials. It helps reduce wear and friction between mechanical parts and provides functions such as rust prevention, oxidation resistance, lubrication, and adhesion. The physical state of guide rail oil is: liquid, light yellow, with a fatty oil odor, soluble in most organic solvents, and insoluble in water. Guide rail oil is formulated from highly refined paraffin base oil and carefully selected anti-emulsification additives. Characteristics of guide rail oil: 1. Low wear rate, extending the service life of hydraulic components; 2. Excellent exhaust performance, along with good filterability, hydrolysis stability, and corrosion resistance.

How to Open the Child Safety Lock?

To open the child safety lock, follow these steps: Open the rear door of the car, locate the child safety lock on the side of the rear door and toggle it. Have someone in the back seat check whether the rear door can be opened and if the toggle-type child safety lock is engaged. Once verified, you can proceed to drive. To ensure child safety, after setting the child safety lock, also activate the window safety lock to prevent potential harm to children from the windows. The car child safety lock is a feature designed to prevent children from accidentally opening the doors while the vehicle is in motion, which could cause injury. Typically, child locks are installed on both rear doors. When the child lock function is activated, the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside but can still be opened from the outside.

Are Motorcycle and Car Antifreeze Interchangeable?

If the antifreeze used in motorcycles and cars is of the same brand and composition, then they can be used interchangeably. However, antifreeze of different brands or compositions cannot be used interchangeably. This is because the production formulas of antifreeze from different brands may vary. Mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between various additives, rendering them ineffective. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year. The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points such as -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.

What are the pros and cons of ECU flashing?

The advantage of ECU flashing is that it modifies important parameters such as fuel injection volume, ignition timing, and intake air volume of the electronically controlled fuel injection engine. It can be understood as a recalibration to release the reserved power and fully exploit the car's potential. The disadvantages of ECU flashing include higher requirements for fuel quality—originally requiring only 92-octane gasoline, but after ECU flashing, 95-octane gasoline is needed, and fuel consumption may become abnormally high. It can also disrupt the overall balance of the vehicle, lack suitable parts in the supply of accessories, and impose higher temperature requirements on the engine. If only a Stage 1 flash is performed, which involves modifying only the ECU data without changing the original state of hardware like the exhaust system or catalytic converter, it will not cause issues during annual inspections. If a Stage 2 flash is performed, it can also pass the annual inspection by replacing the catalytic converter with a high-flow one.
