For a wobbling rear wheel, check the following aspects separately: whether the tire pressure is insufficient, whether the rear axle nut is loose, whether the tire has bulges or is improperly installed and twisted, whether the rear shock absorber is too soft, whether the rear wheel bearings are damaged, and whether the rear rim is deformed. The related explanations are as follows: 1. Inspection items: If it is a pedal-assist scooter, also check whether the engine mounting bracket bushings are aged and loose. If it is a underbone or straddle-type scooter, check whether the rear swing arm screws are loose or the swing arm bushings have excessive clearance. 2. Hand test: For a scooter's rear wheel, you can feel slight front-to-back movement by gently pulling it with your hand (this is actually not the wheel's looseness), but there should be no side-to-side movement. If the rear wheel appears to wobble side to side, check whether the tire has bulges or is twisted. Aluminum wheels generally do not deform.

Why Does the Car Smell When the Air Conditioner is Turned On?

There are mainly the following reasons why the car smells when the air conditioner is turned on: 1. Dirty evaporator: The evaporator is the main component of the air conditioning system responsible for cooling. During the cooling process, it comes into contact with external air, especially in large cities or industrial areas where the air is more polluted. This can lead to the intake of dirt and dust into the air conditioning circulation system. Although most of these contaminants are expelled during routine cleaning, some residue may remain inside, which can easily produce odors over time. 2. Long-term neglect in cleaning or replacing the air filter: The air filter's primary function is to filter the air. Over time, it can accumulate dirt and dust. If not cleaned or replaced for a long time, it can easily generate odors.

Start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to position, and the key can then be removed. The four positions of the car key are LOCK, ACC, ON, and START.

Are Hairline Scratches on Windshield Normal?

Hairline scratches on the windshield are normal, as it's inevitable for a car to develop some scratches after exposure to wind and sun. Using toothpaste for minor glass scratches: If there are minor scratches on the car's windshield, first clean and wipe the glass thoroughly, then apply some toothpaste to the scratched area. Use a soft, clean damp towel to gently polish and wipe the area, which can help smooth out the scratches. Recommendation to replace for noticeable scratches: Toothpaste can remove minor scratches but cannot repair deeper, longer, or more noticeable ones. For such scratches, especially if they are within the driver's line of sight, repair is not recommended as the effect is limited. Repairing may also cause wear and tear, potentially leading to distorted vision and affecting driving safety. It is advisable to replace the windshield directly in such cases.
