The lower part of the steering column may produce abnormal noises due to loose bolts or insufficient lubrication. For the chassis area, the main causes could be excessive clearance in suspension components or loose bolts, which require inspection. Below are specific details about the steering column: 1. Symptoms of Damage: The main symptoms of a damaged steering column include the car pulling to one side when driving straight, heavier steering feel, increased free play, oversteering or understeering, steering wheel vibration, and abnormal steering noises. 2. Main Function: It minimizes the driver's injury in the event of a collision. The application of an energy-absorbing steering column significantly contributes to the energy absorption in the car's steering system, reducing the rearward displacement of the steering wheel during a frontal collision, thereby decreasing the severity of secondary injuries to occupants and improving the vehicle's passive safety performance.

How Long Can a Private Family Car Be Used?

Private cars are mandatorily scrapped after reaching 600,000 kilometers. Using the vehicle's mileage as a standard for scrapping is relatively flexible. When a vehicle reaches 600,000 kilometers, the owner must proceed with scrapping. If the vehicle is required to undergo annual inspections and fails to do so on time, penalty points and fines will be imposed. The key areas to inspect for a private car are as follows: 1. Engine Oil Level Check: Engine oil is essential for vehicle operation. During daily use, it's important to check the oil level. Using the dipstick, you can assess the oil's condition. Park the vehicle on a level surface, remove the dipstick, and ensure the oil level is between the F (Full) and L (Low) marks. If the level is below the minimum, add oil promptly. 2. Coolant: The car's coolant also needs regular inspection. A qualified coolant prevents freezing and overheating. When checking the engine coolant, avoid doing so when the engine is hot, as opening the radiator cap may result in burns from splashing coolant or high-temperature steam. When adding or replacing coolant, ensure not to mix different brands, as this can cause sedimentation and impair the coolant's performance. 3. Brake Fluid Level Check: If the brake fluid is near or below the minimum level, it may indicate a leak or excessive brake pad wear. Add brake fluid promptly to avoid affecting braking performance. Always use the same type of brake fluid when topping up. 4. Battery Maintenance Check: Regularly inspect the battery's condition and charge level. Ensure the car battery is securely fastened and the electrolyte level is normal. If the electrolyte level is abnormal, add electrolyte as needed. When the vehicle is parked for extended periods, take care to protect the battery.
