"Axle", which is the bearing connecting two wheels, is also called "wheel axle". Each pair (left and right) of tires is connected by an "axle", and the so-called number of axles refers to the number of wheel axles. Below is a related introduction to axles: Introduction to Car Axles: Axles are mainly used in cargo trucks, military vehicles, special vehicles, or large buses. The axle is connected to the frame (or load-bearing body) through the suspension, with wheels installed at both ends. According to the number of axles, they can be divided into: single axle, double axle, front four rear four, front four rear eight. More axles include semi-trailers, two-axle trailers with three axles, and three-axle trailers with three axles. Ordinary family cars generally use a single axle. Highway transport vehicles with a total mass of less than 19t and vehicles whose axle load is not restricted by roads or bridges, such as mining dump trucks, use a simple and low-cost two-axle solution. Highway transport vehicles with a total mass of 19-26t adopt a three-axle form. Function of Axles: The function of the axle is to bear the load of the car and maintain the normal driving of the car on the road.

What are the differences between the Haval H9 and the Maxus D90-Pro?

The differences between the Haval H9 and the Maxus D90-Pro are as follows: Power: The Haval H9 is equipped with the 4C20B-2.0T engine, a direct-injection turbocharged engine independently developed by Great Wall Motors, with a power reserve of 165kW/385Nm (1800~3600rpm). The actual driving experience is commendable, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of around 10 seconds, which is quite impressive for a body-on-frame hardcore SUV. The D90 diesel version has a clear advantage in power, achieving good acceleration with the same maximum power, reaching 0-100km/h in 11 seconds—a benchmark among diesel vehicles in its class. The maximum torque of 500Nm provides stronger low-speed burst power, along with the advantage of low fuel consumption. Four-wheel drive: The Haval H9 uses BorgWarner's TOD on-demand four-wheel-drive system, with a transfer case integrating a multi-plate clutch limited-slip differential. The D90 Pro supports an optional part-time four-wheel-drive system, whose transfer case does not have a limited-slip differential.

Why is the left side of the Audi A6 blowing cold air while the right side blows hot air?

Audi A6's left side blowing cold air while the right side blows hot air is caused by a malfunction in the car's heating valve. The reasons for heating system failure in cars include: 1. Premature opening of the thermostat: Outdoor cold air rapidly cools the antifreeze, preventing the engine water temperature from rising, which inevitably results in no hot air from the heater. 2. Air lock in the engine cooling system: Air lock causes poor circulation in the cooling system, leading to high water temperature and no hot air from the heater. Relevant information about the Audi A6 is as follows: 1. Vehicle dimensions: Length, width, and height are 5012 mm, 1855 mm, and 1485 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2945 mm. 2. Engine type: 3.2L/V-type 6-cylinder/4-valve/fuel direct injection. 3. Fuel consumption: 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

How to deal with minor plastic scratches on the rearview mirror?

Here are specific methods for dealing with minor plastic scratches on the rearview mirror: 1. Fine wax and coarse wax: Apply wax to the scratched area of the vehicle. 2. Use a touch-up pen: This method is suitable when the vehicle's primer has not been damaged. 3. Rust-proof paint and spray paint: First use a rust remover, then apply spray paint, and finally repair with fine wax and coarse wax. Here are additional details: Types: Vehicle scratches are categorized as minor, moderate, and deep. Minor scratches are shallow and mainly affect the paint surface. Moderate scratches refer to damage to the surface paint layer but not the vehicle's original paint. Deep scratches generally refer to those that have damaged the primer. For such damage, the owner needs to use rust-proof paint and spray paint for repair. Once the vehicle's primer is damaged, it can easily cause rust in the scratched area, so it is necessary to repair it promptly with rust-proof paint and spray paint. For shallower scratches, simply applying wax is sufficient.

Will I be caught on camera if I drive through a yellow light?

If the front or body of the car has already crossed the stop line but the rear hasn't, it is considered as just crossing the line and will not be penalized or captured by the camera. The yellow light is a crucial part of traffic signals. According to traffic regulations, a yellow light serves as a warning for vehicles to stop, so running a yellow light is also a violation of the law. Below are some relevant details: 1. Normally, a yellow light lasts only three seconds, serving as a transition between the red and green lights. Therefore, if you see a yellow light from a distance, you should slow down and stop in time, waiting patiently for the red light to turn green before proceeding. 2. If you force your way through in the last second, you won't be penalized for continuing to drive through. However, if you are right at the stop line and still proceed, it may be judged as running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. 3. When you see a yellow light, don't rush for that split second. Even if there's no penalty or fine, it's not worth risking a traffic accident.
