The dynamic balance of a car refers to the balance between the wheels when the vehicle is in motion, commonly known as adding balancing weights. A car's wheel is an integrated unit composed of the tire and the rim. However, due to manufacturing imperfections, the mass distribution of this unit may not be perfectly uniform. When the wheel rotates at high speeds, this can lead to dynamic imbalance, causing symptoms such as wheel wobbling and steering wheel vibration during driving. To prevent or correct this condition, weights are added to the wheel while it is in motion to adjust the balance at various edges. This adjustment process is what is commonly referred to as dynamic balancing. New cars undergo dynamic balancing before leaving the factory. However, frequent driving on rough roads can damage the rims or cause tire wear, leading to imbalance over time. Most tire repairs involve removing the tire from the rim, and standard procedures require dynamic balancing after such operations. Additionally, dynamic balancing is theoretically necessary after replacing tires or rims, or installing internal or external tire pressure monitoring systems.

Do New Cars Need Break-in Oil During the Break-in Period?

New cars do not require break-in oil during the break-in period as it has little effect. Below is an introduction to break-in additives for new cars: 1. Break-in additives for new cars are engine break-in additives, which are lubricating additives with cleaning and dispersing properties. They are used in engines during the break-in period to prevent issues such as cylinder scuffing, bearing seizure, and early wear. 2. During the break-in period of a new car, it is necessary to quickly bring the various friction surfaces of the engine into good working condition. Generally, high-quality break-in additives consist of antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and viscosity improvers, providing certain protective effects for the engine. In contrast, inferior products are mostly simple anti-wear agents that reduce friction, which can prolong the break-in period and is not beneficial for the break-in of a new car.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Starting the Car?

There are several reasons for the squeaking noise when starting the car: 1. If the car has not been used for a while, the engine oil will flow back to the oil pan, resulting in insufficient oil in the top part of the engine, such as the valve chamber. Since the valves lack the sealing and lubrication from the oil, a hissing sound can be heard from the bottom of the car when starting it. This situation is normal. 2. A continuous hissing sound after starting the car is most likely due to an issue with the engine belt. First, check the tightness of the engine belt. You can try pinching the belt with your fingers and twisting it. Note that this operation should be performed when the engine is cool. The twisting angle should generally be less than 90 degrees; otherwise, an adjustment is needed. 3. The noise from the engine belt can also be caused by dirt accumulation. Cleaning it with water or applying some lubricant can eliminate the noise.

How Much Does a Car Weigh?

Generally, the weight of a sedan ranges from 800KG to 2000KG. Below is a detailed introduction to car weight: Automotive Design Indicators: The weight of a car, also known as the curb weight, refers to the total weight of the car when fully equipped according to factory specifications, including items like the spare tire and tools, and with all fluids filled. It is closely related to the car's design, manufacturing, and industrialization standards. The curb weight represents the car's own weight, which includes the weight of the car ready for normal driving conditions plus any attached accessories. Typical Car Weight: A small car typically weighs around 1.5 tons, with most family cars falling between 1.2 to 1.3 tons. Mid-to-high-end cars usually weigh between 1.4 to 1.6 tons, while heavier models can range from 1.8 to 2.0 tons. Excessive body weight can lead to higher fuel consumption, poorer handling, slower acceleration, and increased braking distance. Methods to Reduce Car Weight: Material-wise, lighter materials such as aluminum alloys and carbon fiber can be used. In terms of design, optimizing structural design while ensuring rigidity can reduce unnecessary material usage, thereby lowering weight and saving costs.

Use the other hand to apply a little force to remove it. 3. Lift the rear wiper arm of the car to a 90-degree position. 4. Then hold the fixed wiper arm with one hand, and use the other hand to apply a little force to remove it. Extended content: 1. When the wiper swings, its impact on the driver's line of sight is unavoidable. For novice car owners, learning how to minimize the interference of the wiper on their driving vision is a necessary driving skill. Additionally, when driving in stop-and-go or congested areas, novices should try to avoid frequently operating the wiper to prevent distraction and potential collisions. 2. When operating the wiper's water spray function, if no wiper fluid is ejected, first check if the spray nozzle is blocked, then check if there is sufficient wiper fluid.
