Why is the steering wheel not straight after changing tires?

2 Answers

Here are the specific reasons why the steering wheel is not straight after changing tires: 1. Inconsistent tire pressure: If the tire pressure on the left and right sides is uneven, it can cause the steering wheel to pull to one side while driving. 2. Abnormal wear: Issues like uneven tire wear can lead to steering wheel misalignment, and may even cause slight steering wheel vibration at high speeds. In such cases, a wheel alignment adjustment is necessary. 3. Suspension system failure: Manufacturers conduct strict inspections and adjustments on vehicles before leaving the factory. For example, interference between the suspension guide rods and the steering linkage can affect vehicle alignment.

I often encounter steering wheel misalignment after tire replacement at the repair shop. The main reason is the failure to readjust the wheel alignment. When installing new tires, if the technician forgets to check the alignment parameters, the steering system will deviate, naturally causing the steering wheel to be off-center. Tire imbalance is another common issue; if balancing tests aren't performed after mounting new tires, uneven rotation can cause vibrations, making the steering wheel shake or tilt to one side. Installation errors, such as loose wheel bolts, may also lead to this problem. Long-term neglect can increase tire wear and fuel consumption, even threatening driving safety. I recommend always asking the shop to perform wheel alignment and balancing checks after every tire change, ensuring everything is properly set before hitting the road. This way, driving will be stable and worry-free, avoiding continuous troubles later on.

Which subject does the 'Study to Reduce Points' policy belong to?

Study to Reduce Points is related to Subject 4 and Subject 1. Study to Reduce Points is not about adding points, but a policy that allows motor vehicle drivers to reduce traffic violation points by receiving education. Within one scoring cycle, a maximum of 6 points can be reduced. There are three ways to reduce points through study: 1) Participate in online learning (accumulate 30 minutes within 3 days) and pass the exam to reduce 1 point; 2) Participate in on-site learning (no less than 1 hour each time) and pass the exam to reduce 2 points; 3) Participate in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour each time) to reduce 1 point. There are 7 situations where drivers cannot apply for 'Study to Reduce Points': 1) Within the current scoring cycle, the driver has two or more full-score records, or the cumulative points reach 12; 2) In the previous scoring cycle, the driver has two or more full-score records; 3) In the last three scoring cycles, the driver has been penalized for hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, using forged or altered vehicle license plates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or other vehicle documents, or buying/selling points; 4) The driver's license is in the probationary period, overdue for review, or suspended; 5) The driver has unresolved traffic violation records; 6) The driver owns a vehicle with expired safety technical inspection or unprocessed deregistration; 7) The driver has engaged in fraud or impersonation during the point reduction education or full-score education and review exams.

Is the rearview mirror heating and rear window defogging the same button?

Rearview mirror heating and rear window defogging are generally controlled by the same button. Rearview mirror heating can defog. The function of rearview mirror heating is to warm the mirror surface, achieving the effect of defogging and defrosting, keeping the rearview mirror clear and ensuring driving safety. The method to activate rearview mirror heating is: locate the knob on the left front side of the driver's door, and adjust it to the l, o, r, or heating symbol positions as needed. Not every vehicle is equipped with a rearview mirror heating function, but almost every car comes with a rear window heating defogging and defrosting feature. The principle behind both functions is essentially the same: heating wires behind the mirror quickly warm the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. In rainy or snowy weather, pressing this button will illuminate the indicator light, and the heating elements hidden in the rearview mirrors will rapidly reach a set temperature within minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The left and right rearview mirrors will emit warm air, which can remove moisture, frost, and fog from the mirrors. It is important to note that rearview mirror heating only functions properly when the outside temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius. If the temperature meets the requirement but there is no response upon activation, it indicates a problem that requires repair. Additionally, rearview mirror heating should be used sparingly, with each usage preferably not exceeding 30 minutes, as prolonged use can affect the mirror's lifespan, clarity, and brightness. Moreover, when it stops raining and there is water on the mirror, it is best not to use rearview mirror heating but to wipe it dry with a cloth instead.

What is the difference between having ABS and not having ABS?

The difference between having ABS and not having ABS lies in the braking state: with ABS, the wheels do not lock up during emergency braking; without ABS, the wheels may lock up during emergency braking. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, and its function is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and keeping them in a rolling-sliding state to ensure maximum traction between the wheels and the road. Reasons for the ABS warning light to illuminate include: 1. Wheel speed sensor malfunction; 2. ABS circuit malfunction; 3. ABS pressure control solenoid valve malfunction; 4. ABS computer malfunction.
