Car driving on rough roads with a clicking sound is due to loose chassis suspension components. It is necessary to check the tie rod ball joint, lower arm ball joint, stabilizer bar ball joint, rubber bushings, shock absorbers, pressure bearings, and the steering gear. The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a car. It supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine power, and ensuring normal driving. The transmission system is mainly composed of the clutch, gearbox, universal joint, drive shaft, and drive axle. The running gear consists of the frame, axle, suspension, and wheels. The steering system includes the steering wheel, steering gear, steering knuckle, steering knuckle arm, tie rod, and drag link. The braking system refers to the braking performance of a motor vehicle, which is the efficiency of forcing the vehicle to stop in a short time.

What happens if too much refrigeration oil is added?

Excessive refrigeration oil hinders heat exchange. When the amount of refrigeration oil is too much to be carried back to the compressor by the refrigerant vapor, the excess oil will adhere to the evaporator and related pipe walls, forming a certain thermal resistance. Below is a related introduction about car air conditioning maintenance: Regularly check the refrigerant and refrigeration oil: Since the refrigerant used in modern cars has strong permeability, even a well-functioning refrigeration system may experience insufficient refrigerant due to long-term use, leading to reduced cooling performance. 2. Clean the condenser surface: The cooling efficiency of the air conditioning system is also related to the cleanliness of the condenser's cooling fins. Dust, insects, and other debris covering the condenser surface can reduce heat dissipation efficiency.

What is the speed of third gear forward?

Third gear forward speed refers to the maximum acceleration that the human body can withstand. Below is relevant information about vehicle speed limits: Roads without a centerline: For urban roads, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour, and for highways, it is 40 kilometers per hour. Roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction: For urban roads, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour, and for highways, it is 70 kilometers per hour. Roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction: For urban roads, the speed limit is 70 kilometers per hour, while for closed motor vehicle-only roads and highways, it is 80 kilometers per hour.

What Causes Rust and Clicking Sounds on Brake Pads?

Rust and clicking sounds on brake pads are caused by slight rust on the brake discs. If there is only minor surface rust, it can be removed by continuous braking while driving, and no special treatment is needed, as the slight rust on the brake discs will be worn away by braking during normal vehicle operation. Below is relevant information about brake pads: Types of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (mostly obsolete), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, and NAO ceramic brake pads. Ceramic vs. traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with higher wear and noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal noises (such as squealing) do not occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads contain no metal components, they avoid the metal-on-metal friction noise between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and discs).

Should the Clutch Be Pressed When Braking?

When braking causes the speed to decrease too rapidly, the clutch pedal should be pressed. Below is relevant information about the clutch: Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually reconnect the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. Principle of Releasing the Clutch: The principle of releasing the clutch is: "slow at first, then fast, and finally coordinated." When initially pressing the clutch, do it quickly and press it all the way down in one motion. When lifting the pedal during the free travel phase, do it quickly; slow down as it nears the contact point, pause slightly at the semi-engagement point, and then release it completely—this is the process.

Will points be deducted if the right side is less than 30 cm during the uphill stop in Subject 2?

No points will be deducted if the right side is less than 30 cm during the uphill stop in Subject 2. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. Small vehicle C1/C2 Subject 2 test items: Include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, uphill stop and start, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve) (some regions also have a sixth item: highway card collection). Large vehicle A1/A2/A3/B1/B2 Subject 2 test items: Include pole test, uphill stop and start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, and simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain road, tunnel, rain (fog) weather, slippery road, and emergency handling.

Are OEM wheels made by casting or forging?

OEM wheels are made by casting. Here is some related information about wheels: Introduction: A wheel hub is the rotating part that connects the tire's inner contour to the wheel's core via pillars, i.e., the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called a rim, wheel ring, or wheel disc. Wheels come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Wheel types: Wheels are also called rims. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of wheels may vary, generally categorized into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, wheels are less considered in terms of appearance, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The manufacturing process typically involves painting, i.e., spraying followed by baking, which is cost-effective, offers vibrant colors, and maintains durability over time. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the wheel's color remains unchanged.
