In the United States, the steering wheel is on the left side. The steering wheel position in the U.S. is exactly the same as in our country, which is related to road traffic regulations. The U.S., along with over a hundred other countries in the continental faction, drives on the right side of the road. For driving convenience (such as overtaking and meeting other vehicles), the steering wheel is placed on the left. On the other hand, dozens of countries in the island faction led by the U.K. drive on the left side, with the steering wheel on the right. Below is some related information about American cars: 1. Americans are quite skilled at manufacturing cars with very large bodies that offer excellent comfort for passengers. 2. High-performance cars in the U.S. generally prefer to use large-displacement V8 naturally aspirated or supercharged engines. 3. The U.S. also has drag racing events, where many classic American cars can be seen. 4. The cornering performance of American cars is not particularly outstanding. Due to the wide and straight highways in the U.S., American cars perform very well in terms of comfort during long-distance high-speed cruising, but their cornering ability is relatively poor.

Is Wheel Balancing Unnecessary After Rear Tire Repair?

Wheel balancing is required after rear tire repair. Generally, modern tires are tubeless, so when a tire needs repair, it must be removed from the wheel rim. Once removed, repaired, and reinstalled, wheel balancing becomes necessary. Here are situations that require wheel balancing: 1. After installing a new tire (post-repair) or after collision damage repairs; 2. Unilateral wear on front or rear tires; 3. Heavy steering wheel or floating/shaking during driving; 4. Vehicle pulling to the left or right when driving straight; 5. For maintenance purposes, it is recommended that new cars undergo wheel balancing after 3 months of driving, and subsequently every six months or 10,000 kilometers.

How to Clean Loop Car Mats?

Cleaning loop car mats can be done as follows: 1. Plastic mats: Plastic mats are the easiest to clean. This type of mat can be rinsed directly with water. Use some detergents like laundry powder or dishwashing liquid, then scrub with a brush and rinse with water to make them look brand new. 2. Plush mats: If plush mats are not particularly dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner directly on them to remove dust or scrub with a brush to clean. If they are too dirty, you can soak them in water first and use a professional carpet cleaner for washing. Do not use ordinary detergents as they may damage the mats. The soaking time should not exceed fifteen minutes. After soaking, knead and wash, then fold the mat and put it into a spin dryer to remove water. Finally, place it in a cool, ventilated area to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight and wringing dry.
