The reasons for a car steering wheel being heavier on one side and lighter on the other: 1. Damaged car shock absorber: Damage to the car shock absorber causes an imbalance between the two shock absorbers, resulting in the steering wheel feeling heavier on one side and lighter on the other when turning. It is necessary to inspect the car's shock absorbers and plane bearings, and repair them immediately if damaged, otherwise it may cause safety hazards; 2. Improper adjustment of the limit valve: The limit valve needs to be inspected and adjusted; 3. Damaged car steering gear: Damage to the car steering gear can cause the steering wheel to be heavier on one side and lighter on the other, as well as car deviation and difficulty in steering. It is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection and repair; 4. Lack of four-wheel alignment: After replacing the car tires, it is essential to perform four-wheel alignment again, otherwise it will lead to many unnecessary problems; 5. Improper installation of the steering wheel gear: If the gear is not installed properly when installing the car steering wheel, there will be issues such as an uneven steering wheel or it being heavier on one side and lighter on the other. The steering wheel needs to be reinstalled.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Levin car?

The minimum ground clearance of the Levin car is 105mm. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. In terms of body dimensions, the Levin measures 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

How Often Should the Spark Plugs on an Atenza Be Replaced?

Atenza spark plugs should be replaced every 120,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are crucial components of a gasoline engine's ignition system, responsible for introducing high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and generating sparks by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Signs that spark plugs are damaged include melted or eroded electrodes with rounded edges, as well as scarring, cracks, or carbon deposits on the insulator. Although the vehicle can still operate for a short period under these conditions, it is advisable to replace the spark plugs promptly. In terms of body dimensions, the Atenza measures 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.

Is Filing Required for Changing the Front Grille?

Is filing required for changing the front grille? Before modifying the vehicle, the design plan and modification plan should be submitted to the vehicle management authority for review. The content of the vehicle annual inspection includes: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Testing whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, and other safety performance meet the technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles; 3. Verifying whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, redesigns, or transformations, whether the driving license, license plate, and all records in the vehicle file match the current vehicle condition, whether there are any changes, and whether the approval and change procedures have been completed.

What to Do If You Fail the Vision Test During Driver's License Annual Inspection?

If you fail the vision test during your driver's license annual inspection, you can retake the physical examination with properly prescribed glasses, as the driver's license physical examination allows corrected vision and does not require uncorrected vision. According to regulations, applicants for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the uncorrected or corrected visual acuity must be at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For those with monocular vision impairment, if the better eye has uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart and a horizontal visual field of at least 150 degrees, they can apply for a driver's license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars specially designed for the disabled.

Why Does the Car Radiator Keep Boiling Over?

The reasons why a car radiator keeps boiling over are: 1. Poor engine cooling, especially in small-displacement vehicles using air conditioning in summer, which increases engine load. Long-term accumulation of dirt inside and outside the radiator affects coolant circulation and heat dissipation. 2. Insufficient coolant. Add coolant until the reservoir is half full, then start the engine and let it idle. Observe if the liquid level in the reservoir drops rapidly. If so, it indicates a leak in the cooling system. The normal operating temperature range for an engine is between 90°C and 120°C. Insufficient antifreeze, particularly in summer, can easily lead to engine overheating and other risks. Antifreeze has the characteristics of a high boiling point and low freezing point, with a boiling point around 110°C, effectively maintaining the engine at normal operating temperatures and protecting the engine.

Why is the wiper noise loud?

Loud wiper noise is caused by aging of the wiper rubber strip or deformation of the wiper. In such cases, you can replace the wiper rubber strip. If the wiper is deformed, you should go to a professional 4S shop for repair by professional technicians. The wiper of the vehicle will not be damaged during normal use, and deformation of the wiper is very rare. In most cases, it is caused by aging of the rubber strip. The vehicle should also be replenished with windshield washer fluid in time, as the washer fluid can protect the wiper. If the vehicle's windshield washer fluid is missing, do not use plain water as a substitute. The wiper, also known as the windshield wiper, is mainly used to remove raindrops and dust from the windshield, improving visibility for the driver during the driving process.
