Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of a vehicle, adjusted to ensure good driving performance and certain reliability. Situations requiring wheel alignment include: 1. When the vehicle's driving performance is affected; 2. Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by accidents; 3. Abnormal tire wear. The benefits of wheel alignment are: 1. Maintaining stable straight-line driving and easy steering; 2. Ensuring the rear wheels or front wheels can automatically return to the correct position after steering; 3. Reducing wear on tires and steering components during driving; 4. Maintaining the optimal driving angle between the tires and the vehicle body.

What are the methods to locate 30 centimeters on the right side of the car?

There are 3 methods to locate 30 centimeters on the right side of the car: 1. Observe the road section: Adjust by observing the distance between the right side of the car body and the curb until the position of the right front door handle covers the curb or "touches" it, then quickly straighten the car body. At this point, the car body is about 30 centimeters away from the curb; 2. Use a fixed position: You can drive along the right edge line using the middle-right position of the engine hood. At this time, the right side of the tire is about 30 centimeters away from the right edge line, provided that the car body is basically parallel to the roadside. From the driver's position, align the position one fist to the right of the center of the hood with the edge line and then turn the wheel back; 3. Observe the left reinforcement bar: This is also the raised line on the left side of the car front. When the left reinforcement bar is aligned with the center of the lane, the distance between the car body and the edge line is approximately 30 centimeters.

How to Safely Pass Oncoming Vehicles in Adverse Weather Conditions Such as Rain, Snow, and Fog While Driving?

When encountering adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog while driving, you should reduce your speed, increase the lateral distance between vehicles, and if necessary, stop to yield. The lateral safety distance refers to the minimum distance that ensures the safety of two vehicles when driving side by side or during overtaking, preventing accidents. Below is an introduction to the driving license test: 1. Subject One: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, it is part of the assessment for obtaining a motor vehicle driving license. 2. Subject Two: Also known as the small road test, it includes five test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. 3. Subject Three: Also known as the large road test, it assesses road driving skills for motor vehicle drivers. 4. Subject Four: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test.

Did the loud bang when driving over a pothole without slowing down damage the car?

Generally, driving over a pothole without slowing down and hearing a loud bang won't cause damage. Here's an explanation about driving over potholes: Potential harm: You can determine if the suspension is damaged by observing whether there is any deviation in steering, unusual noises while driving, or if the shock absorbers are leaking oil. If you're still concerned, you can have it inspected on a lift if possible. Shock absorbers: The suspension system of a car absorbs most of the impact force when hitting a pothole. After driving over a pothole, besides checking the tires, which is essential, the car's suspension might also be affected. If the tires and rims show no obvious damage, it indicates that most of the collision energy and impact were absorbed by the suspension system.

Will a Slightly Flooded Engine Heal Itself?

A slightly flooded engine will not heal itself and requires repair. Here are the symptoms of a slightly flooded engine: 1. Check the engine oil condition: Normal engine oil colors include light yellow, brown, or transparent colorless, but it is generally not milky white. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it to check for any milky white oil-water mixture. If present, it may indicate engine water ingress. 2. Inspect the air filter: Check the air filter and the lower housing for obvious signs of water ingress. Examine the intake pipe and intake manifold for clear traces of water. Owners can DIY the removal of the air filter. 3. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When there is water in the engine fuel or combustion chamber, the water is heated by the combustion heat in the cylinder and turns into steam, which is expelled from the exhaust pipe as white smoke. If white smoke appears after the vehicle has been through water, it is highly likely due to engine water ingress.

What does the term 'Pot Plant Group' mean in the automotive context?

"Pot Plant Group" refers to vehicles with excellent performance and well-executed modifications, but the owners do not use them for racing. Instead, they treat the cars like potted plants for everyone to admire. On the other hand, the "Serious Group" refers to cars with outstanding performance and tasteful modifications, where the owners are often eager to compete seriously in races. More related information is as follows: Classic hardcore off-road SUVs include the Toyota LC70 (predecessor of the Land Cruiser and Prado), Land Rover Defender, and Jeep Wrangler. They are also considered the "supercars" of the off-road world. Although they are not as expensive as supercars in terms of price, they are indeed the top performers in the SUV category when it comes to off-road capabilities. However, due to their outdated appearance and interior design, many "Pot Plant Group" enthusiasts are deterred from owning them.
