The professional name for the steering knuckle is 'Steering Knuckle'. Below is its related introduction: Function: The steering knuckle is one of the important components in the vehicle's steering system, enabling stable vehicle movement and transmitting the driver's steering actions. The steering knuckle also needs to bear the front weight of the vehicle and withstand varying impacts from the road surface during driving. Therefore, designers generally design the steering knuckle with high strength. Installation position: The steering knuckle, also known as the steering knuckle, is installed on the steering knuckle and is generally only present on the front wheels. The steering knuckle is the hinge for wheel steering and is usually fork-shaped. The upper and lower forks have two coaxial holes for installing the kingpin, and the steering knuckle neck is used to mount the wheel. When the steering knuckle has issues, the vehicle may experience poor direction return, abnormal front wheel wear, easy damage to the wheel bearings, and abnormal body noises.

The professional name for '羊角' in a car is the steering knuckle. This component connects the wheels to the suspension system, making the car more flexible when turning. I often check it during long-distance drives. Once, my car made noise when turning, and the mechanic said it was due to steering knuckle wear. After replacing it, it cost 500 yuan, and the handling felt much better. If you don't pay attention to maintenance, the steering knuckle can easily deform or break, leading to abnormal tire wear or the risk of the car pulling to one side, which is quite dangerous. Regular wheel alignment can extend its lifespan, as it is related to driving safety and should not be neglected.

The steering knuckle, commonly known as the 'sheep horn' in informal terms, is its official name. It is located near the front wheels and is responsible for supporting the suspension and transmitting steering forces. During my car repairs, I've encountered many cases, such as owners complaining about unstable handling, only to find cracks or wear in the steering knuckle upon inspection. Replacing it isn't overly complicated, but precise installation is crucial. New replacement parts made from alloy materials are lighter, improving the vehicle's response speed. It's recommended to inspect the suspension system every 20,000 kilometers to identify issues early and avoid safety hazards.

How to Unlock a Stuck P Gear?

p>The methods to unlock a stuck P gear include: 1. Release the brake and shift: Release the brake pedal, then press it again and try to shift gears; 2. Turn the steering wheel and shift: If that doesn't work, try turning the steering wheel slightly before shifting gears; 3. Restart the engine: You can restart the engine, press the brake again, and shift gears; 4. Disconnect the battery: Open the hood, disconnect the battery, then restart the engine, press the brake again, and shift gears. These methods can usually resolve a stuck P gear. If the P gear remains stuck and cannot be shifted, it is likely due to damage to the gear limit switch, brake light switch, or brake light fuse. In such cases, it is necessary to contact a 4S shop for repairs.

Why does the reverse camera suddenly stop displaying?

The reasons why the reverse camera suddenly stops displaying are as follows: 1. The camera is damaged or blocked: If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be uploaded to the computer, and naturally, it won't display. In this case, you need to go to a repair shop or 4S store for maintenance, and if necessary, replace the camera. If it's just blocked by debris, simply remove it. 2. The display screen is damaged: When the display screen remains black and fails to start or shows distorted images, it is generally already damaged. This situation requires inspection and repair at a repair shop or 4S store. 3. Poor wire connection: If you frequently drive on rough roads, the bumpy environment may cause the internal wires of the vehicle to loosen or detach. When the wire connection is poor, the image from the camera cannot be transmitted to the main unit, and the reverse camera won't display. This situation requires disassembling the center console panel for inspection. 4. No power: When the car's lights or multimedia are used for a long time while the engine is off, the battery may run out of power. When the power is insufficient or depleted, the car's multimedia system will not function, and the reverse camera won't display. In this case, simply recharge or replace the battery.

What is the autoh function?

autoh refers to the Auto Hold function. The application of Auto Hold technology allows drivers to avoid unnecessary vehicle sliding without the need for prolonged braking or activating the electronic parking brake. Below is an introduction to the Auto Hold function: 1. Prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on a slope: Traditional parking brake devices require the driver to manually release the handbrake based on experience when starting on a slope. The AUTOH Auto Hold function, however, uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, enabling smooth vehicle startup. 2. Automatically activates four-wheel braking when waiting at a red light: To use it, simply press the "AUTOH" button lightly to activate the corresponding Auto Hold function. The intelligent AUTOH Auto Hold function automatically engages four-wheel braking when the vehicle is stopped at a red light or on a slope, keeping the vehicle stationary even in D or N gear without the need to continuously press the brake pedal or use the handbrake. To release the stationary state, simply lightly press the accelerator pedal to disengage the brake. This function is particularly practical for drivers frequently navigating stop-and-go city traffic and is also favored by those who often experience vehicle rollback.

What does it mean when a car displays an oil can dripping?

When a car displays a red oil can dripping, it means the engine oil is insufficient and the oil pressure is low. The oil level has reached the lower limit, and it is necessary to add oil as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine. Here are specific details about engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the "blood" of the car. The engine is the heart of the car, containing many metal surfaces that move against each other at high speeds in harsh environments, with working temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. Under such severe conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine parts and extend their service life. 2. Classification: Engine oil can be divided into three categories based on its source: conventional mineral oil, synthetic oil, and nano-ceramic oil. Synthetic oil has higher lubricity, lower friction resistance, better oxidation resistance, and stronger cleaning properties than mineral oil. Its disadvantages are slightly poorer low-temperature fluidity and heat resistance compared to mineral oil. Nano-ceramic oil is composed of base oil with nano-ceramic additives and other additives, and can be widely used in the lubrication systems of vehicle internal combustion engines. The performance improves over time, but the price also increases accordingly.

What to Do When the Door Squeaks?

Solutions for car door squeaking are as follows: 1. Regular lubrication: Car doors are connected to the body via hinges, similar to household doors. It's normal for hinges to make noise over time. To ensure smooth and quiet operation, apply lubricating oil every 2-3 months for maintenance. 2. Use specialized grease: Open the door to its maximum angle, clean the grease and dirt from the limiter arm, limiter pin shaft, and connecting bracket surfaces, then apply an appropriate amount of specialized grease to the upper and lower surfaces of the arm. Recommended products include HOTOLUBE from Tiger Head or Kluber's door hinge and track grease. 3. Replacement: Some vehicles with average assembly quality may have door limiters that are prone to deformation, leading to noise. In such cases, replacement is the only solution.

What are the reasons for the poor cooling effect of the Tiguan's air conditioning?

Volkswagen Tiguan's air conditioning has poor cooling effect due to insufficient Freon in the air conditioning system, clogged pipes in the switch, or the compressor not functioning properly. Insufficient Freon in the air conditioning system: Freon is a heat-absorbing medium. Only when there is enough Freon in the car's air conditioning system can it effectively remove heat and lower the temperature inside the car. If the system has been used for a long time without regular refilling, or if the Freon level is insufficient due to pipe leaks or air infiltration, it will not be able to absorb enough heat and effectively lower the temperature inside the car, resulting in insufficient cooling. The solution is to add an appropriate amount of Freon. Clogged pipes in the switch: In the car's air conditioning system, there are numerous pipes connecting the condenser to the evaporator, with a large amount of refrigerant flowing through these pipes. If any part of these pipes is clogged with small debris, the flow of refrigerant will be obstructed, and the heat inside the car cannot be effectively transferred. In this case, the temperature inside the car will not decrease, and the cooling effect of the air conditioning will be worse than usual. The solution is to clean out the impurities in the pipes. Compressor not functioning properly: The air conditioning system exchanges heat, and the compressor plays a crucial role in this process. Under the operation of the compressor, liquid refrigerant is converted into gas, absorbing a large amount of heat and releasing it outside the car, thereby lowering the temperature inside the car through circulation. When the compressor is not functioning properly, it needs to be repaired or replaced.
