Steering wheel noise issues could be due to excessive clearance in the steering gear's rack and pinion, or it might be caused by excessive play in the universal drive assembly. A more precise diagnosis requires listening to the specific sound characteristics. Such noises may also be related to the shock absorber's pressure bearing, whose damage is primarily associated with driving habits. Additional Information: Driving Precautions: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary; try to steer only after the car begins moving. 2. After parking, always return the steering wheel to the center position to prevent unnecessary stress on the suspension system and tires. 3. When making U-turns, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme lock positions. We recommend visiting an authorized 4S dealership for a thorough inspection to identify the exact cause of the issue and ensure timely resolution.

Must You Cross the Stop Line When Turning Right?

You must cross the stop line when turning right. If you turn right without crossing the stop line, you may obstruct vehicles on the right, so turning right before the stop line is not allowed. Below are the relevant details: The stop line in the right-turn lane primarily applies to large trucks, which must stop before the stop line to observe the surrounding conditions and ensure there are no pedestrians or other vehicles before proceeding. Otherwise, it will be considered a traffic violation and subject to penalties. This is a clear stipulation in the Road Traffic Law, mainly to prevent injuries to pedestrians caused by blind spots when large vehicles turn right. The stop line is a solid white line across the road at intersections (primarily traffic light intersections), indicating the position where vehicles should wait for the signal to proceed. Vehicles must not cross or press down on the stop line. Additionally, on some roads with intersections, you may see double solid white lines accompanied by a 'Stop' sign. These double white lines also serve as stop lines, meaning vehicles must stop at this intersection to give priority to vehicles on the main road.
