Guide rods can help drivers determine the distance between the front of the car and obstacles ahead, as well as accurately judge the direction of the car's front. Here is some additional information: 1. Japanese modification culture: Car guide rods are quite convenient to use. Guide rods are part of Japan's car modification culture, which peaked in the early 1990s. Among these modified cars, many owners liked to install guide rods on their vehicles. However, in the domestic modification market, it is rare to see enthusiasts adding guide rods to their cars, possibly due to cultural differences between the two countries. 2. Installing guide rods: Guide rods are not commonly encountered domestically, but cars can be fitted with guide rods by the owners themselves. If you are into modifications and want to install a guide rod, you can purchase one and modify your car accordingly. Most Japanese cars are quite suitable for guide rod modifications, as the guide rod modification culture originated in Japan and can enhance the overall style of the car.

What is the best speed during the break-in period?

During the break-in period, it is recommended to drive at a speed of 50 to 80 kilometers per hour, and it is essential to control the driving speed to avoid excessive velocity. Here is relevant information: 1. After driving over 1,500 kilometers, you can gradually increase the engine speed and vehicle speed to the maximum allowed by the vehicle. Avoid pressing the accelerator pedal forcefully to ensure that pistons, cylinders, and other important components increase their load under moderate conditions. 2. The break-in period generally refers to the process where mechanical components initially come into contact, rub against each other, and mesh together. For automobiles, the break-in period refers to the initial driving phase of a new car or after a major overhaul, typically covering 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. This is the fundamental mileage required to ensure that parts fully contact, rub against each other, adapt, and settle into their final form.

What Causes Black Dust on Car Wheels?

Black dust on the wheels is mostly caused by the friction between the brake pads and brake discs. This is a normal phenomenon and nothing to worry about. It can be cleaned during car washing. If left uncleaned for a long time, the wheels may discolor. More details are as follows: 1. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside and is mounted on the axle at the center. It is also called a rim, steel ring, or wheel. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. 2. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub also varies, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, less consideration is given to the appearance of the wheel hub, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process generally involves painting treatment, which means spraying first and then baking, making it cost-effective with bright and long-lasting colors. Even if the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the wheel hub remains unchanged.

Are the outer diameters of 17-inch and 18-inch tires the same?

17-inch and 18-inch tires have different diameters, and they also differ in handling feel, comfort, appearance, and braking performance. Below are specific details about tires: Functions of tires: Tires support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, transmit traction and braking torque, ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components, adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. Tire maintenance methods: Tire maintenance includes regularly cleaning stones from the tire treads, minimizing exposure to direct sunlight, frequently checking tire pressure, paying attention to suspension maintenance, periodically inspecting front wheel alignment, and being mindful of driving habits.

What Causes Loud Engine Noise When Accelerating?

When pressing the accelerator pedal, the engine noise becomes louder due to the following reasons: 1. The pipe connecting the air intake grille to the air filter is loose - simply secure it with tape. 2. The external belt is squealing - this requires repair at a 4S shop. 3. Issues with internal engine mechanical components - if under warranty, immediately report to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Below are common engine problems: 1. Abnormal engine vibration: The most common cause is idle vibration due to dirty throttle body. Other causes include faulty spark plugs, damaged ignition coils, or mechanical engine failures. 2. Severe engine carbon buildup: The main causes are using low-quality engine oil and fuel. Engines with severe carbon buildup typically exhibit symptoms like idle vibration, weak acceleration, high fuel consumption, and difficulty starting when cold. 3. Engine overheating: The normal operating temperature range is between 80~90°C. Temperatures exceeding this range indicate engine overheating. Excessive engine temperature can even lead to severe mechanical failures like cylinder scoring or bearing seizure.
