This situation is most likely caused by severe wear of the CV joint. Here is relevant information about automotive CV joints: 1. Overview: CV joints generally refer to constant velocity universal joints. They connect two shafts that have an angle between them or a change in relative position, enabling the two shafts to transmit power at the same angular velocity. Currently, the widely used constant velocity universal joints mainly include ball-type universal joints and cage-type universal joints. 2. Causes of damage: First, the CV joint boot has reached its service life, but the driver forgot to replace it during maintenance. Second, accidents or road debris damage the protective boot, causing irreversible effects on the working environment of the universal joint, which in turn causes the universal joint to lose its functionality, naturally leading to CV joint damage.

What is the Difference Between Water and Antifreeze?

Water and antifreeze differ in their properties: water lacks antifreeze and high-temperature resistance characteristics, whereas antifreeze possesses both. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Many car owners believe antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it should be used year-round. 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 resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year.

What is a Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle?

Part-time four-wheel drive vehicles engage the four-wheel drive system when necessary and operate as two-wheel drive systems under other conditions. Compared to other four-wheel drive systems, part-time four-wheel drive has a simpler structure, effectively reducing costs and overall vehicle weight. In daily use, part-time four-wheel drive can handle sudden slipping effects and improve driving performance. However, it is not capable of handling high-intensity off-road conditions. Each drive wheel of a vehicle must have a differential to enable turning on high-traction surfaces. This is because the rotational speeds of different wheels vary during turns, and the differential is the component that eliminates this speed difference. Full-time four-wheel drive is based on this concept, where the central differential's role is to eliminate the speed difference between the front and rear axles, ensuring four-wheel drive at all times.
