Shaking of the car body after going over a pothole may be due to issues with the car tires. Here is an introduction about car tires: 1. Introduction: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact experienced during driving. 2. Function: They ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving; maintain excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; improve the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability; and bear the weight of the vehicle. The important role tires play in automobiles is increasingly being recognized. 3. History: In 1895, with the advent of automobiles, pneumatic tires saw widespread development. The first samples of car tires appeared in France in 1895, which were single-tube tires made of plain canvas, featuring tread rubber but no tread pattern.

What transmission does the Jeep Compass 80th Anniversary Edition have?

The Jeep Compass transmission is a ZF-produced automatic manual transmission (AT). Below is a detailed introduction to the Compass transmission: The Compass transmission is a dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions offer low fuel consumption and fast gear shifting. After installation, the vehicle's fuel consumption will be reduced by one level, and acceleration will also be faster by one level. The gear shifting process of a regular automatic transmission is like waiting in line at a hospital, while the gear shifting process of a dual-clutch transmission is like a 4x100-meter relay race. The shifting process is highly efficient, saving both time and fuel. DCTs are divided into wet and dry types. Wet-type transmissions use more transmission fluid, have a larger volume, and can withstand greater torque; dry-type transmissions use less transmission fluid. The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission can be simply understood as one clutch corresponding to odd-numbered gears and the other clutch corresponding to even-numbered gears. When the vehicle is in one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state. As soon as the current gear is disengaged, the next gear can be engaged immediately. Therefore, the shifting speed of a dual-clutch transmission is faster than that of a regular automatic transmission, even a manual transmission.

Can I drive with only a photocopy of the vehicle license?

A photocopy of the vehicle license is not acceptable for driving. According to traffic regulations, drivers must carry the original vehicle license with them at all times, otherwise they will be fined. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the signed core of the license, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, both sealed in plastic. The supplementary page contains another signed core, with the text on the front of the main page printed in black. Article 11 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states: When driving a motor vehicle on the road, the vehicle must display its license plate, have valid inspection and insurance labels, and carry the original vehicle license. The license plate must be displayed clearly and completely as required, without intentional obstruction or damage. To apply for a replacement or reissue of the vehicle license, the following documents are required: 'Application Form for Replacement/Reissue of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates'; the identity proof of the vehicle owner and a photocopy; if an agent is handling the process, the agent's identity proof and a photocopy must also be provided.

Can I Replace Only the Control Arm Bushing Without Changing the Entire Assembly?

Control arm bushing damage requires replacement of the entire assembly. There are numerous bushings on the vehicle chassis that effectively reduce friction and impact between components. If they age or wear out and are not replaced promptly, various abnormal noises may occur, and component wear will accelerate. Generally, the control arm bushing and control arm come as a set, so during replacement, it's necessary to inspect the wear condition of the control arm as well. If the wear is severe, both can be replaced together. The following are the hazards of not replacing them in time: Noise Generation: After the bushing is damaged, the control arm will directly contact the axle, leading to metal-on-metal impact, which causes significant noise. Tire Malfunctions: After the bushing is damaged, the gap between the control arm and axle becomes too large, causing the wheel alignment parameters to fail. This may result in issues like uneven tire wear or tire cupping. Steering Issues: It can also cause steering to become less responsive or produce abnormal sounds, misalignment of the vehicle body, and vibrations during high-speed driving. Therefore, timely replacement is necessary.

What is the difference between straight-line overtaking and lane-changing overtaking?

The difference between straight-line overtaking and lane-changing overtaking lies in the lanes the two vehicles are in. Below are the relevant details: Straight-line overtaking: Straight-line overtaking occurs when two vehicles are each driving in their own lanes, and the faster vehicle passes the slower one. Lane-changing overtaking: Lane-changing overtaking happens when two vehicles are driving in the same lane, and the rear vehicle changes to another lane before accelerating to pass the front vehicle. Precautions: In regions where driving is on the right, the overtaking lane is the left lane, while in regions where driving is on the left, the overtaking lane is the right lane. Forced overtaking is usually performed when there is oncoming traffic during the overtaking process, which poses the greatest danger. It may result in a collision with the oncoming vehicle or a scrape with the vehicle being overtaken, and the consequences can be severe.

Is it better to steer early or late when reversing into a parking space?

It is better to steer early rather than late when reversing into a parking space. Below are the key points for reversing into a parking space (using right-side reversing as an example): 1. First point: When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the parking line parallel to the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. 2. Second point: When the most protruding part of the car body and the right corner of the parking space appear to be two fingers' width apart in the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left. 3. Third point: In the right rearview mirror, when the right corner of the parking space points to the middle of the front door handle, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. 4. Fourth point: When you see the left rear corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror, immediately straighten the steering wheel. 5. Fifth point: The stopping point when entering the parking space is when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror is about to align with the parking line parallel to the left rearview mirror.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure in New Cars?

Low tire pressure in new cars may be due to leaks in the tire or valve stem, which require inspection at a tire shop; deformation of the wheel rim, leading to reduced sealing performance of the tire; thermal expansion and contraction, as manufacturing differences in tires may result in insufficient tire pressure due to temperature changes. Additional information is as follows: 1. Tire Pressure: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—its failure can lead to the end of the car's life—while tire pressure is akin to the car's blood pressure. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. 2. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes the steering wheel to become heavy and may lead to veering, both of which are detrimental to driving safety; increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction between the tire and the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear.
