Introduction to the causes of the clicking sound when releasing the brake: The first scenario is when the sound occurs in a new car: This is a normal situation because, for a new car, the brake pads and brake discs need constant breaking-in. The brake pads may not fully align with the brake discs during braking, and this usually improves after about 500 kilometers or after maintenance. The second scenario is when the brake disc and brake pads stick together due to rust, causing abnormal noise: This typically happens after driving in the rain and then leaving the car unused for several days. The brake disc and brake pads rust and stick together, resulting in noise when starting the car again. This can be resolved by applying grease or specialized lubricant to the connection between the brake pads and the brake calipers at a repair shop.

Can You Get Your Car Inspected on a Rainy Day?

You can get your car inspected on a rainy day as rain does not affect the vehicle's annual inspection, which is conducted indoors. The required documents for vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. "Motor Vehicle Inspection Label Application Form" – This does not need to be brought as it is provided on-site for direct completion. 2. Motor vehicle license. 3. Compulsory traffic insurance certificate. 4. Vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, usually purchased together with compulsory traffic insurance. This can be found in the compulsory insurance policy. If not found, consult the insurance company as some regions may handle this separately. 5. Owner's ID card. If someone else is handling the inspection on behalf of the owner, the representative must bring their own ID card.

Apply at the registration and acceptance counter, and for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut.

How Long Does It Take for a Car to Be Considered Stock?

Stock cars generally refer to vehicles that have not been sold for more than three months after leaving the factory. However, due to the large size, high price, and significant storage costs of cars, dealers often cannot afford to keep them in stock for extended periods. The issues with stock cars are as follows: 1. Tires: Many tire warranties start from the date of manufacture and last for two years. This means if a car has been in stock for six months, the tire warranty period is reduced by a quarter. 2. Rubber components such as wipers and waterproof strips: During storage, vehicles are inevitably exposed to direct sunlight and rain, which can cause the exposed rubber parts to age. 3. Engine oil: Engine oil stored in a car for a certain period may deteriorate, affecting its lubrication performance. Therefore, if a car has been in stock for more than six months, it is advisable to change the engine oil before driving it.

What is the difference between a full trailer and a semi-trailer?

There are two main differences between a full trailer and a semi-trailer: 1. The towing capacity of the tractor differs. A full trailer tractor only requires pulling force, while a semi-trailer tractor needs both pulling force and load-bearing capacity. 2. A full trailer can stand upright on its own tires, whereas a semi-trailer requires front support legs to stand upright. Here is more information about semi-trailers and full trailers: 1. Definition of a full trailer: It is a single pallet or bucket-shaped structure, consisting of a frame, turntable mechanism, and suspension hook. It bears the full weight of the cargo. Simply put, the front end of the trailer is connected to the rear end of the tractor, which only provides pulling force and does not bear the weight. 2. Definition of a semi-trailer: The front half of the trailer rests on the fifth wheel coupling at the rear of the tractor. The rear axle of the tractor bears part or most of the weight of the trailer, while the remaining part is borne by the trailer itself.

How long can tires be used after production?

Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 3 years from the date of production, and should not be used for more than 8 years after being installed on a vehicle. Here is more information about car tires: 1. Tires are one of the important components of a car. They directly contact the road surface and work together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. 2. They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability. As they bear the weight of the car, the important role tires play in vehicles is increasingly recognized.
