Here are the reasons why the Geely Boyue's steering wheel may make noise when turning: 1. Sound from the turn signal rebound clip; 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover; 3. Sound caused by interference from the steering wheel airbag clock spring; 4. Noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing; 5. Sound from loose stabilizer bar bushings. The source of the noise and the solution vary depending on the situation. If the noise occurs only after activating the turn signal and then turning the steering wheel, this is normal. The sound will occur once when turning the steering wheel in the same direction, and three times when turning the wheel a full rotation. This happens because the steering column has three automatic return notches per rotation, which causes the sound. The noise will disappear after turning off the turn signal. Below are detailed explanations for different scenarios: 1. Noise from the steering column dust cover: If there is noise when turning the steering wheel, whether stationary or moving, check the steering column dust cover. If the dust cover lacks lubrication, it will produce a dry friction sound. Applying some grease inside the dust cover will eliminate the noise. 2. Noise from airbag clock spring interference: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel when turning, it is likely caused by interference from the airbag clock spring. Remove the airbag clock spring and apply some grease. If the noise persists, the airbag clock spring may need replacement. 3. Noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing: Open the hood and listen to see if the noise comes from the top of the shock absorber. If so, apply some grease to the top mount bearing. If the noise continues, the bearing will need replacement. 4. Noise from loose stabilizer bar bushings: If the noise is not from the shock absorber top mount bearing, check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. If damaged, they will also make noise when driving on uneven roads. This issue can be resolved by adding shims.

Should Car Paint Use Gloss Oil or Clear Coat?

Clear coat and gloss oil for cars are actually the same substance. Here is some information about gloss oil: 1. Gloss oil: It is a colorless transparent substance (synthetic resin). 2. Clear coat: Nowadays, it generally refers to a surface transparent clear coat, made from base materials and additives, without any pigments. After forming a film, it appears glossy and shiny, commonly known as clear coat. The functions of gloss oil include: 1. Protection: As a transparent protective paint, its hardness and wear resistance are better than colored paint, providing a protective effect. 2. Touch paint: As a touch paint, its gloss and brightness are excellent, offering a pleasant tactile feel. For example, the paint sprayed on silicone parts and plastic parts is this type of gloss oil.

What is the Difference Between Independent and Non-independent Suspension?

Here are the differences between independent and non-independent suspension: 1. Movement differs: The wheels on the same axle of an independent suspension do not interfere with each other during movement, whereas wheels on a non-independent suspension exhibit mutual interference during movement. 2. Applicable vehicle types differ: Independent suspension can also enhance the ride comfort and driving quality of a vehicle, hence luxury cars often employ high-end independent suspensions; non-independent suspension is typically found in compact or small cars. Here is some relevant information: Suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between a vehicle's frame and axle. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, and to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, thereby reducing the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving.

What are the differences between narrow bridge and narrow road signs?

Narrow bridge and narrow road signs have the following differences: 1. Differences in narrow road signs: Narrow road signs are divided into narrowing on both sides, narrowing on the right, and narrowing on the left. Narrowing on both sides refers to the carriageway narrowing symmetrically along the centerline of the road, while narrowing on the right or left indicates unilateral narrowing, serving to warn drivers of the narrowing carriageway or road surface ahead. 2. Differences in narrow bridge signs: Narrow bridge signs are placed at appropriate positions before bridges where the deck width is less than the road width and the bridge width is under 6 meters, warning drivers of the narrowing bridge deck width ahead.

Is It Safe to Drive with Low Tire Pressure?

It is not safe to drive with low tire pressure. The recommended steps to address low tire pressure are: 1. Check the tire for leaks or damage; 2. Use a portable air pump to inflate the tire. The consequences of driving with low tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Heavy steering and a tendency to veer, which are hazardous driving conditions; 3. Increased movement of tire components, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; 4. Reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, potentially causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim leading to bead damage; 5. Increased deformation of the tire body, resulting in sidewall cracks and flexing movements that accelerate rubber aging, ply fatigue, and shoulder wear.

What does 'lo' mean when it appears on a car's air conditioning?

When a car's air conditioning displays 'lo', it indicates that the air conditioning is at its lowest temperature setting. Some air conditioning systems may also display 'Hi' or 'Me', which stand for high and medium settings, respectively. Below is some relevant information: 1. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning unit installed in a vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing passengers with a comfortable environment, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. 2. The air conditioning unit has become one of the indicators of a car's full functionality. It generally includes cooling, heating, and ventilation systems. This integrated unit makes efficient use of the limited space inside the car, has a simple structure, and is easy to operate, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally.

What letter represents China VI?

China VI is represented by the letter VI. China VI refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. Methods to check China VI compliance include: 1. The vehicle's environmental protection compliance label; 2. The page in the vehicle conformity certificate where the numbering begins; 3. Estimating the vehicle's emission standard based on its manufacturing year; 4. Using the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate to inquire at the local vehicle management office. China VI standards were established to prevent environmental pollution from exhaust emissions of compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The emission standards for China VI are: 1. Carbon monoxide emission content of 700mg; 2. Non-methane hydrocarbon emission content of 68mg; 3. Nitrogen oxide emission content of 60mg; 4. Particulate matter emission content of 4.5mg.
