On bumpy roads, it will make clunking noises, the car will become unstable, sway from side to side, experience brake deviation, and suffer from steering failure. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function: The steering gear ball joint is used to connect the car's front wheel steering knuckle and the steering gear, allowing the front wheels to swing from one side to the other when the steering wheel is turned. The steering tie rods are divided into the steering drag link and the steering tie rod. The steering tie rod is part of the car's steering trapezoid and plays a role in transmitting steering force. 2. Tie Rod Ball Joint: It is a tie rod with a ball joint housing. The ball joint of the steering spindle is placed inside the ball joint housing, and the ball joint is hinged with the edge of the shaft hole of the ball joint housing through the ball joint seat at its front end. The needle roller between the ball joint seat and the steering spindle is embedded in the groove of the ball joint seat's inner hole surface, which helps reduce ball joint wear and improves the spindle's tensile resistance.

What problems can occur if the car is left unlocked overnight?

Leaving the car unlocked overnight may pose a risk of theft of valuables inside the vehicle. Locking methods: When removing the key, cutting off the power, and closing the doors, the vehicle is typically locked by the driver using the remote key. Since most car models currently on the market do not have the function to detect the distance of the key's electronic signal, the car will not automatically lock. Forgetting to lock the doors can lead to the risk of theft of valuables inside the car. Cannot be stolen: If the driver forgets to lock the doors after getting out, the car cannot be driven away by others because the engine requires the presence of the car key to start.
