Does Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary Affect Tires?

Turning the steering wheel while stationary does affect tires. It increases tire wear and significantly reduces their lifespan. Here are some precautions to consider when turning the steering wheel: Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary whenever possible: Turning the steering wheel while stationary is generally not recommended. When the wheels are in motion, they experience rolling friction, whereas when stationary, they experience sliding friction, resulting in a significant difference in torque. This places additional strain on the entire steering system, increasing wear on components such as tires, ball joints, and tie rods. Occasional stationary steering has minimal impact: Occasionally turning the steering wheel while stationary is not a major issue. During the product design phase, such scenarios are already taken into account. The steering system can handle these occasional stresses without significant pressure. Although tires bear the brunt of the impact, sometimes leaving friction marks on the ground.

Can a Car Be Exposed to the Sun for a Long Time?

Cars should not be exposed to the sun for extended periods. Here are some key points about prolonged sun exposure for vehicles: Hazards: The most common hazard is accelerated aging of the vehicle. While the visible effects appear on the surface, smaller plastic components and wiring inside the vehicle also experience faster deterioration under continuous high temperatures. Some might think "a car isn't that fragile - it has a metal body that protects its components," but prolonged exposure still takes its toll. Lifespan: When purchasing a vehicle, sales personnel typically inform consumers about the vehicle's expected lifespan and product warranty information. These estimates assume the vehicle won't be constantly exposed to harsh sunlight. That's why many car owners who value their vehicles regularly take them to auto detailing shops for paint maintenance and protection.

Why is there no pressure in the low-pressure side of a car's air conditioning system?

Here are the reasons for no pressure in the low-pressure side of a car's air conditioning system: Damage to the outdoor unit of the car air conditioning: If the fan of the outdoor unit is damaged, it will result in excessively high exhaust temperature or pressure; if the internal fan is damaged, it will cause frost formation, and at this point, it's necessary to replace the damaged internal or external fan. Failure of the compressor's capacitor: When both the internal and external units of the car are operating, but the compressor does not rotate, it will lead to overheating. In this case, it's necessary to check whether the compressor capacitor has poor contact or is damaged, and replace it promptly if damaged. Reversed live and neutral wires of the air conditioning power supply: This phenomenon usually occurs only during the installation of the car air conditioning, requiring the owner to reconnect the live and neutral wires.
