What Are the Causes of Heavy Steering?

Heavy steering is caused by malfunctions in the steering gear structure. The specific reasons are as follows: Main factors leading to heavy steering: There are many factors that can cause heavy steering in a vehicle, primarily influenced by two major assemblies. First, it can be affected by the steering gear's structural type, installation position, and faults within the steering gear itself. Second, it can be influenced by the structure, parameters, and lubrication condition of the front axle (including the tie rods). For vehicles equipped with power steering, hydraulic system malfunctions can also contribute to heavy steering. Diagnostic methods for heavy steering: Lift the front axle and turn the steering wheel. If the steering feels smooth, the issue lies with the front axle, wheels, or related components. This is because lifting the front axle eliminates the contact resistance between the wheels and the road surface when turning the steering wheel. At this point, carefully check whether the front tire pressure is too low, the condition of the front leaf springs, and whether the frame is deformed, among other factors.

What is the tire model of the Volkswagen Lavida Plus?

The tire model of the Volkswagen Lavida Plus is 225/45R/1791V. The specific information is as follows: Tire maintenance: Tires mounted on the same axle must use the same specification, tread pattern, and brand. When cleaning tires, if the tire temperature is relatively high, do not clean them immediately; wait for them to cool down naturally before cleaning. If the tire is stained with tar that is difficult to clean, and general cleaners cannot remove the stain, you can try using a brush to clean it. However, be careful not to use a brush that is too hard, especially an iron brush, as it can easily damage the surface of the wheel hub. Precautions for tire use: Before driving on highways or long-distance trips, check the tire wear and tire pressure, especially in summer. If any abnormalities are found in the tires, take effective measures promptly. Additionally, regularly clean foreign objects trapped in the tread grooves and between dual tires to prevent sharp objects from damaging the tires, which could lead to air leakage or even tire blowouts.

Can the wipers be used after applying film to the front windshield?

Wipers cannot be used after applying film to the front windshield. Before applying the film, it is necessary to heat and shape the film. Common techniques for shaping car film are as follows: Dry-wet combination shaping method: This method is used when the conformity between the film and the curvature of the glass cannot be determined after dry heating. After dry heating, lift the film, evenly spray installation liquid on the glass, then lay the film back down, and use a plastic squeegee to remove the water. For any remaining bubbles, use wet heating to smooth them out. Stretching shaping method: First, clean the glass with a squeegee, then use a heat gun to dry any remaining moisture on the glass surface. Use a wet tissue to draw a wet line about 3 cm wide in the middle of the glass (to fix the film). Place the roughly cut film on the glass surface, leaving 5-8 cm extra at the top and bottom. Make small cuts in the areas with bubbles along the edges of the film. While heating, lift the film at a 15-degree angle to the glass, pull it downward firmly, and rotate the heat gun evenly from top to bottom, observing the degree of film shrinkage with the eye.
