The rattling sound inside the steering wheel when driving on rough roads can be caused by: 1. Insufficient lubrication in the steering column, leading to increased friction; 2. Low level of power steering fluid; 3. Issues with the universal joint; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. The steering wheel is a round device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. It is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines and functions to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam padding, and mounting clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).

What to Pay Attention to When Buying a Car

When buying a car, you need to pay attention to confirming purchasing power, key considerations, on-site confirmation, etc. The specific details are as follows: Confirming Purchasing Power: Determine your purchasing power to ensure that buying a car does not affect the overall quality of life for your family. Generally, this is based on the family's average income over the past three years. Typically, 20% of the family's income over three years can be allocated, but it should not exceed 10% of the family's fixed asset value. Key Considerations: For family cars, safety is the most important factor, followed by affordability. Since a car's safety carries the lives of the entire family, safety is the top priority. On-Site Confirmation: Based on the above two steps, narrow down the car models you are interested in. Visit the 4S store in person for on-site confirmation, including test drives, price inquiries, loan options, maintenance, and other related details.

What is the tread depth of car tires?

Tire tread depth standards are as follows: greater than 3.5mm indicates good condition, 2.5~3.5mm is normal condition, less than 2.5mm requires replacement, and the tread must be replaced when it reaches the limit value of 1.6mm. Below is some information about car tire tread depth: 1. National regulations: According to national standards, the wear limit for radial tires used in passenger cars is 1.6mm, while the wear limit for radial tires used in trucks and buses is 2.0mm. Therefore, when the tread of a passenger car wears down to 1.6mm, it must be replaced, and tires used in trucks and buses must be replaced when the tread depth reaches 2.0mm. 2. Inspection methods: Check using the tread wear indicators built into the tire; when the tread wear indicators are flush with the tread surface, the tire needs to be replaced. Alternatively, use a tire tread depth gauge to measure the tread depth.

Why Can't the Car Start After Leaving the Headlights On for 20 Minutes?

The reasons why the car can't start after leaving the headlights on for 20 minutes are as follows: 1. Insufficient Voltage: When the battery voltage is insufficient, the horn and lights may still work, but they cannot power the starter. The battery light will illuminate when the key is in the ON position before starting the engine, indicating low battery voltage. Use a voltmeter to test the battery voltage. If it is below 10V, consider replacing the battery. 2. Poor Fuel Quality: Check the quality of the fuel added to the car to see if it is caused by carbon deposits. If the car has been driven around 20,000 kilometers, focus on inspecting and cleaning the throttle body and checking the ignition switch. Test and inspect the starter, fuel pump, sensors, and other components related to the starting and fuel supply systems. Additionally, after turning on the ignition, wait for 30 seconds to a minute before starting the engine to see if it makes a difference.

What gear should an automatic car be in when parked with the AC on?

Put it in P gear. The following is a related introduction to the gears of an automatic car: 1. R gear: The reverse gear of an automatic car. After shifting into R gear, the car will generate backward traction, which is used for reversing into parking spaces and parallel parking. 2. N gear: The neutral gear of an automatic car. Unlike manual cars, it does not completely disconnect the transmission from the engine and can only be used briefly when waiting at traffic lights. 3. D gear: The drive gear of an automatic car. Simply shift into D gear, press the accelerator to speed up, and press the brake to slow down to drive the vehicle. 4. S gear: The sport gear of an automatic car. It allows the car to unleash stronger power and acceleration, and is used on highways and in congested road sections. 5. L gear: The low gear of an automatic car, also known as the climbing gear. It can reduce the car's speed to ensure the engine delivers powerful force, often used on bumpy roads or when climbing long slopes to provide sufficient power.
