Abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel may be caused by a faulty airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel or aging of the steering tie rod ball joint. Reasons for abnormal noise when steering: Loosening or damage of the stabilizer bar bushings. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings not only cause noise when turning but also produce sounds when driving on uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims, while damaged ones must be replaced. Consequences of aging ball joints in cars: Damaged ball joints can cause slight displacement of the suspension, leading to errors in wheel alignment data, which may result in uneven tire wear or even steering deviation. It is advisable to address the issue at a nearby repair shop as soon as possible to avoid greater losses. Note that after fixing the chassis issue, a wheel alignment must be performed again; otherwise, the problem will persist. If the ball joint is excessively loose, it may cause the connected rods and arms to break or even detach under load impact.

How many points are deducted for speeding by 15%?

Speeding by 15% results in a deduction of 3 points. The introduction to speeding penalties is as follows: Penalty regulations: Speeding within 10% of the road speed limit results in a warning without point deduction, speeding between 10%—20% results in a 3-point deduction, speeding between 20%—50% results in a 6-point deduction, and speeding over 50% results in a 12-point deduction. The formula for calculating the percentage of speeding: (Speed/Limit speed—1)×100, which calculates the percentage of speeding. For example, if the speed limit is 70km/h and the vehicle speed is 80km/h, divide 80 by 70, subtract 1, and multiply by 100 to get 14.28, meaning the speeding is 14%. If the speed limit is 60km/h and the vehicle speed is 70km/h, then divide 70 by 60, subtract 1, and multiply by 100, resulting in 16% speeding.

What should be turned on when a motor vehicle exits the highway?

When a motor vehicle exits the highway, the right turn signal should be turned on. The turn signal is an important indicator light that is activated when the vehicle turns to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulb uses a xenon tube, controlled by a single-chip circuit, with alternating left and right flashing in continuous operation. The turn signal employs a flasher to achieve light blinking, which can mainly be divided into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The ramp is a road on the right side of the highway entrance (usually 150 to 200 meters long), serving as the acceleration lane to enter the highway (since the minimum speed on the highway is 70 km/h, all vehicles must accelerate to at least 70 km/h in this lane before entering the highway lane). Before entering the highway, the left turn signal should be turned on. Since the highway lane is on the left, activating the left turn signal allows vehicles behind in the driving lane to clearly understand the intention to avoid accidents.

What are the three major types of transmissions?

The three major types of transmissions are AT, CVT, and dual-clutch transmissions. Below are the relevant introductions: AT Transmission: Hydraulic automatic transmissions achieve automatic shifting through a combination of hydraulic transmission and planetary gears. They generally consist of components such as a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift execution mechanism, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. CVT Transmission: Continuously Variable Transmissions differ from traditional automatic transmissions in that they do not have a gearbox composed of a set of gears, meaning they lack interlocking gears. The most common type of CVT operates on an ingeniously designed pulley system that provides infinite variability between the highest and lowest gears without discrete steps or shifts. Dual-Clutch Transmission: Dual-clutch transmissions combine the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions. Instead of using a torque converter, they employ two sets of clutches that alternate to achieve seamless shifting.

Why Shouldn't You Turn on Fog Lights on Rainy Days?

Lights should be used according to regulations on rainy days. Here are the relevant explanations: Position lights: The type of light to use should be determined based on visibility. For example, when it just starts to rain and the sky is relatively dark but visibility is still good, position lights should be used. Front fog lights: When the rain is heavier, the rainwater itself can obstruct the view, and the water on the road surface splashed by the rolling tires of the vehicle ahead can create a mist, significantly affecting visibility. In such cases, headlights or front fog lights should be turned on. Rear fog lights: Rear fog lights should only be turned on during very heavy rain because the red taillights already have excellent penetration, and ordinary heavy rain cannot block their light. Rear fog lights are very bright and are designed to penetrate thick fog.

What is the tire model of the Baojun 560?

The tire model and size of the Baojun 560 is 215/60R17. Here is more information: 1. Different vehicle configurations come with different tire brands. The high-end version of the Baojun 560 uses Continental CPC5 series tires with a size of 215/60R17, and the spare tire is also of the same size. The low-end version uses Giti brand tires but maintains the same size. 2. Tire codes. The international standard tire code represents the section width and aspect ratio in millimeters, followed by the tire type code, rim diameter, load index, and speed rating. 3. Points to note when purchasing new tires. When buying new tires, ensure that the size, load range, speed rating, and construction type match those of the original tires. Under normal use, the vehicle's performance will remain the same after replacing the tires. It is also recommended to replace all four tires at the same time to ensure optimal braking and handling performance.

Can I Go to the DMV to Choose a License Plate After Successfully Selecting One Online?

After successfully selecting a license plate online, you cannot go to the DMV to choose another one. Here are the specific details about online license plate selection: Prepare in advance: First, in areas with license plate restrictions, ensure you have obtained the quota. Schedule an online license plate selection via the online DMV or the DMV customer service hotline, and the online selection can only be done within one day before the scheduled service date. Second, prepare the vehicle's certificate of conformity in advance, as you will need to enter the vehicle's VIN or the certificate number, or the import goods certificate number during the process. Visit the DMV to complete the process: After completing the selection, the system will prompt you to register at the DMV within the specified time. Otherwise, the selected license plate will become invalid, and you will not be able to select a license plate online again for two years.
