The width of the wheel hub is 7J, 8J. Here, the number represents the width of the wheel hub, while J represents the shape and height of the wheel hub flange. The ET value, also known as the ET offset, is the Off-set value, which refers to the deviation between the installation section of the wheel hub and the centerline of the wheel rim, measured in millimeters. It can be positive, zero, or negative. Below is more related information: 1. Considerations when installing based on J value: Many car enthusiasts encounter various issues during wheel hub modifications. For example, if the original wheel hub is 6JX15 inches and the original tire is 195/65/15, and you see a wheel hub with a width of 8JX17 inches, the standard tire for this modification should be 235/45/17. However, the flatter the tire, the harder it is to find. During the modification process, based on the J value, you need to consider what you want to achieve when selecting the tire width. Choosing a point within the range affects both handling and ride quality (comfort). The midpoint offers a balance (but slightly compromises both). Narrower tires affect handling, while wider tires affect comfort. 2. Considerations when installing based on ET value: Changing the wheel rim's Offset alters the vehicle's track width, which is the distance between the centerlines of the tires. Therefore, simply increasing the wheel rim and tire size without changing the Off-set does not affect the track width. Impact of changing Off-set: Using a wheel rim with a smaller positive Off-set value widens the track width, reducing body roll during cornering and improving the vehicle's cornering speed limit. However, this also increases the distance between the steering axis center and the tire center, making steering more difficult and increasing the load on the steering mechanism, leading to greater deformation of the steering linkage. Therefore, Toe-in must be appropriately adjusted to compensate.

Will the 4S shop polish after painting?

Yes, polishing is performed because after painting, the paint surface may exhibit very fine particles, marks, and other imperfections. Therefore, 4S shops typically use polishing compounds to polish the surface, which enhances the brightness and texture of the paint. Below is relevant information: Introduction to Car Polishing: Car polishing is a step in the car detailing process, performed before waxing, sealing, or coating to prepare the car's surface. Polishing, especially fine polishing, is essential for achieving a mirror-like finish before applying sealants or coatings. Functions of Car Polishing: It is used to reduce the surface roughness of the car, resulting in a bright and smooth surface. It removes the oxidation layer on the paint surface, shallow scratches, and issues like paint dullness caused by oxidation, thus improving the overall appearance of the paint.

What is the displacement of the Dragon Water Suction?

The Dragon Water Suction comes in various models and power levels, categorized into vertical type, high-altitude type, and letter-separation type. Different models are further divided into displacements of 1000, 1500, 3000, and 5000. The most common large displacement model is the 3000-ton per hour variant. More details are as follows: Inventor: The Dragon Water Suction drainage vehicle was invented by Lin Zhiguo, the general manager of Fujian Qiaolong Special Vehicle Co., Ltd. Currently, the product line includes 5 major categories, totaling 8 models of drainage vehicles. Technical Core: No external power source or electrical facilities are required; the vehicle is powered by its own drainage system to drive the pump. It is self-propelled and can climb 35-degree slopes or stairs. The walking speed is 2 kilometers per hour. The hydraulic-driven pump has a flow rate of 1000 m3/h and a head of 22m.

What does grinding off the serial number on a vehicle mean?

Grinding off the serial number on a vehicle refers to the practice of selling cars through unofficial channels or across regions, where the vehicle identification number (VIN) is intentionally removed to avoid accountability for cross-regional sales by the manufacturer. Additional information: Generally, purchasing from reputable stores ensures genuine products with qualified quality and craftsmanship, and the store will provide its own warranty. However, there is still a possibility of encountering defective or counterfeit products. The main difference lies in whether the warranty is honored, as large authorized dealers often only provide warranties for vehicles sold locally. If you have basic knowledge of vehicle maintenance and repair, opting for a car with a ground-off serial number might be a viable choice. If consumers purchase a product with a ground-off serial number, they can request the manufacturer to provide a quality certification for the product, and the manufacturer should issue the corresponding certification.

Why does the car shake after starting?

The reasons for car shaking after starting: 1. Low ignition energy: As the vehicle's usage time extends, the spark plug's ignition gap tends to increase, resulting in reduced ignition energy, causing the car to shake; 2. Carbon deposits on valves and intake passages: Carbon deposits absorb some fuel, leading to ECU judgment errors, insufficient fuel entering the cylinders, resulting in insufficient power output and shaking; 3. Incorrect mixture ratio: Normally, the oxygen sensor operates at around 370 degrees Celsius, but a newly started car cannot reach the required temperature for the oxygen sensor to function, causing it to be inactive. This leads to errors in controlling the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing, resulting in a completely chaotic mixture ratio and vehicle shaking; 4. Varying cylinder conditions: After prolonged use of the engine, the ignition gaps and timing control of the spark plugs in each cylinder can vary, causing reduced power output and shaking.

What is the bulb model for a 125cc motorcycle headlight?

125cc motorcycle headlight bulb model is X9-H4. Below is relevant information about motorcycle headlights: Function: Motorcycle headlights primarily serve lighting and signaling purposes. The light emitted illuminates the road conditions ahead of the vehicle, enabling safe nighttime riding. Classification: Motorcycle headlights can be categorized by light source into: halogen-tungsten lamps and xenon lamps. Halogen lamps produce light through tungsten filaments, with low lumens, insufficient brightness, high power consumption, and a lifespan of only 600 hours. Application: Motorcycle headlights (high beam, low beam) are used during nighttime and foggy conditions to clearly see vehicles and pedestrians ahead while riding. However, when meeting oncoming traffic, the low beam should be used to avoid affecting the other party's visibility and causing collisions.

How many points will be deducted for consecutive lane changes at highway exits?

Consecutive lane changes at highway exits will result in a 3-point deduction. Crossing solid lines on highways while changing lanes constitutes a violation of prohibitory signs and markings while driving a motor vehicle, typically incurring a 3-point penalty. The offender must address the violation record at the vehicle management office in the jurisdiction where the vehicle is registered and pay the fine at a bank within 15 days. Below are specific details about crossing solid lines: 1. Classification: Includes center single/double solid lines on urban roads, lane divider lines in intersection solid line zones, and separation lines between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes. 2. Regulations: Traffic laws explicitly prohibit motor vehicles from crossing single/double solid lines. Violators are subject to fines and a 3-point penalty per offense. Although single and double solid lines differ in severity, their legal effect is identical—motor vehicles must not cross either type.
