What is the reason for the steering wheel leaning to the left when driving straight?

The reason for the steering wheel leaning to the left when driving straight is: there is relative displacement between the steering wheel and the steering column. The owner can go to a 4S shop and ask the staff to help remove the steering wheel, then readjust and reinstall it, or adjust the length of the left and right steering tie rods. If the offset problem is more serious, a four-wheel alignment can also be done as needed. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. The gear system introduced between the driver and the wheels by the steering wheel operates flexibly, effectively isolating intense vibrations from the road. Moreover, a good steering wheel system can also provide the driver with a feeling of intimate connection with the road.

I've been in auto repair for almost twenty years, and issues like the steering wheel pulling to the left while driving straight are quite common. The most frequent cause is uneven tire pressure—if the left front tire is a bit low, the car tends to pull to the left. Another possibility is misaligned wheel alignment, especially if the rear camber angle of the front wheels isn’t set correctly, making the car feel like it’s being dragged to one side. Aging suspension components, such as a loose tie rod end, can also cause the steering wheel to be off-center. Sometimes, a stuck brake caliper that won’t release on the left wheel can create a pulling sensation. These problems not only make handling awkward and increase fuel consumption but also lead to rapid tire wear, wasting money. Safety comes first—I recommend a thorough inspection at a professional shop to check alignment and brakes, rather than waiting for an accident to happen. Regularly monitor tire pressure during maintenance, and making it a habit can prevent these issues.

What is the small light on a car?

Car small light is actually the position light, also called width light, which is a warning light generally installed on the edge of the car roof to indicate the width of the vehicle. The function of car small light is to remind other vehicles to pay attention when driving in the evening or at night, so that other vehicles can judge their relative positions and vehicle size when meeting or overtaking. When car small light needs to be turned on: Driving in foggy weather: Visibility is low in foggy weather, and the view is blurred. While turning on the fog light, the position light also needs to be turned on, which can play a good warning role and make it easier for other vehicles to identify. Rainy weather: The view is also blurred in rainy weather, and the car small light can be turned on alone for warning purposes. Driving in the evening: The road surface is still clear in the evening, but due to the lack of street lights, the front and rear vehicles start to become blurred. For safety, the car small light needs to be turned on to make it easier for other vehicles to see. Driving at night: Traffic regulations stipulate that the rear tail light and position light must be turned on when driving at night to alert the vehicles behind.

Do I Need to Drive the Car for Vehicle File Transfer?

Vehicle file transfer requires driving the car to the location. Vehicle file transfer refers to the process of relocating the vehicle's records from the local vehicle management office during a used car transaction, which can be transferred to a designated new registration area and owner. The vehicle file transfer procedure requires both the buyer's and seller's identification cards, vehicle license, vehicle grade certificate, and the vehicle itself to be presented at the vehicle management office. Points to note for vehicle file transfer: Vehicle file transfer applies to used cars; it is a procedure required only for used car transactions. The original owner must be present for the vehicle file transfer. Without the original owner's relevant identification documents, the file transfer procedure cannot be processed. Normally, the file bag will specify a deadline for registration. The buyer must complete the relevant procedures at the vehicle management office within this period; otherwise, they will need to return to the original registration office to reapply for the file transfer. For a vehicle applying for file transfer and ownership change, the vehicle owner must fill out an application form, present the vehicle for inspection, and submit the required proofs and documents.

What Types of Auto Insurance Are There?

Basic insurance includes third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance: the policyholder can choose to insure part of the coverage or all of it. Auto insurance mainly includes the following types: Compulsory traffic insurance, which is mandatory and primarily covers personal injury and property damage to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle. Vehicle damage insurance, which mainly covers damage to the car caused by insured incidents (such as collisions, falls, storms, heavy rain, floods, earthquakes, hail, etc.). After the 2020 auto insurance reform, vehicle damage insurance is bundled with spontaneous combustion insurance, theft insurance, engine water damage insurance, glass insurance, no-deductible insurance, and third-party unidentified insurance for sale. Third-party liability insurance, which mainly covers personal injury and property damage to third parties caused by insured incidents involving the insured vehicle. Passenger liability insurance, which mainly covers personal injury to passengers in the vehicle. Additional auto insurance, such as medical expenses outside of medical insurance liability insurance, separate tire additional insurance, statutory holiday limit doubling insurance, etc.

Will a car be affected if it is not driven for half a month?

If a car is not driven for half a month, it can have several negative effects. Firstly, it may impact the battery's charge and the lifespan of the tires. Secondly, it could affect the longevity of the engine and braking system. The car's battery is charged while driving under normal circumstances. If the car is not driven for half a month, the battery's charge may decrease. When parked, the vehicle's own weight can cause uneven pressure on the tires, leading to potential deformation. For the engine, prolonged parking may result in oil leakage or coolant deterioration. Some parts of the engine use polymer gaskets, which require oil for lubrication and the vibrations generated during engine operation to distribute pressure evenly. If these gaskets do not receive lubrication or vibration for an extended period, they may deform. Additionally, when a car is parked for a long time, the handbrake is usually engaged. Keeping the handbrake tightly engaged for an extended period can cause the brake pads and brake discs to stick together, thereby reducing the lifespan of the braking system.

Do Car Tires Have Inner Tubes?

Car tires do not have inner tubes. In the past, tires used to have inner tubes, but with the popularization of family cars and technological advancements, tires gradually no longer required inner tubes. Currently, most passenger car tires sold on the market are tubeless tires. Tubeless tires have an airtight layer inside, made of synthetic rubber, which can seal the compressed air within the tire. Benefits of tubeless tires: First, they are more fuel-efficient and comfortable. Tubeless tires, also known as vacuum tires, are divided into radial tires and bias tires. Both types offer better grip, ensuring stable driving with reduced friction, which enhances shock absorption and comfort. Second, they improve safety. If a car tire gets punctured by a nail, it won't immediately blow out but will slowly lose air. This is due to the better self-sealing property of vacuum tires. Lastly, they are more wear-resistant and better at heat dissipation. Without an inner tube, the tire operates more stably, increasing its wear resistance. Additionally, the absence of an inner tube improves heat dissipation, which also contributes to safety.
