The purpose of the lead weights on wheels is to ensure the dynamic balance of the tires. Dynamic balance involves correcting the balance of various edge parts of the wheel by adding counterweights while the wheel is in motion. Its significance lies in maintaining the wheel's balance during rotation. Situations that require dynamic balancing include: 1. After replacing a new tire or repairing due to a collision accident; 2. Unilateral wear on the front or rear tires; 3. The steering wheel feels too heavy or shakes while driving; 4. The car veers to the left or right when driving straight. The steps for dynamic balancing are: 1. Remove the original counterweights; 2. Use a specialized dynamic balancing machine to measure the weight distribution of the wheel; 3. Add counterweights of appropriate weight at the corresponding positions.

Is it okay to shift gears in an automatic car without starting it?

Shifting gears in an automatic car without starting it is not a problem. The correct steps for shifting gears are as follows: 1. Press the brake pedal, then press the one-touch start button; 2. Place the automatic gear lever in the D position to enter automatic mode; 3. Gently press the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will slowly move forward. An automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, and L.

How to Solve Engine Oil Burning? What Parts Are Needed?

Engine oil burning can be addressed in the following ways: 1. If the engine burns oil when cold but operates normally after warming up, this phenomenon is caused by aging valve stem seals, and the required replacement part is the valve stem seal; 2. If the engine burns oil when hot, and blue smoke continues to be emitted from the exhaust pipe after the car reaches normal operating temperature, this indicates poor sealing of the piston rings, and the required replacement part is the piston ring. Engine oil burning refers to the situation where engine oil enters the combustion chamber of the engine and participates in combustion along with the air-fuel mixture. This phenomenon can lead to rapid damage of the oxygen sensor, increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idling, lack of acceleration power, increased fuel consumption, and excessive exhaust emissions. In severe cases, insufficient engine lubrication may cause irreparable damage or even complete failure of the engine.

How to Solve the Problem of Uneven Door Height in a New Car?

To solve the problem of uneven door height in a new car, you can adjust the hinge connecting bolts to fine-tune the door. The car's cabin door is usually composed of an outer door panel, inner door panel, window frame, etc. The inner door panel serves as the mounting base for various accessories, including door hinges, glass and its regulator, door lock, door opening limiter, and positioning tongue. The door is installed on the car body shell via the door hinges. The design requirements for the door are: 1. Ensure ease of passenger entry and exit, with the maximum opening angle controlled to around 65 to 70 degrees; 2. Avoid positional interference with other parts during the opening process; 3. Ensure reliable locking when the door is closed, preventing it from opening while driving; 4. Provide good sealing performance; 5. Have a large transparent area to meet lateral visibility requirements; 6. Ensure sufficient strength and rigidity to guarantee reliable door operation, reduce door vibration, enhance side collision safety, and prevent door sagging.

What Are the Solutions for Foul-Smelling Car Exhaust?

Solutions for foul-smelling car exhaust include: using gasoline detergent to clean carbon deposits and impurities from the entire fuel system, including the intake tract, intake valve, and combustion chamber. If the odor persists after cleaning the carbon deposits, the vehicle should undergo maintenance, with a focus on checking the oxygen sensor and its wiring, ECU faults, and the intake system. Causes of unpleasant car exhaust include: 1. Poor fuel quality: For example, gasoline containing too many impurities, heavy metals, or water can lead to foul-smelling exhaust emissions. 2. Incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Mainly due to an overly rich mixture, which can impair the purification capability of the catalytic converter. Car exhaust contains a large amount of harmful substances, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and solid suspended particles. Purification measures such as catalysts or water washing can be employed.
