Automotive Parts Industry: The automotive parts industry is even larger than the complete vehicle industry because, after a car is sold, components such as starter batteries, bumpers, tires, glass, and automotive electronics need to be replaced during its lifecycle. Domestic automotive parts enterprises, which form the foundation of the automotive industry's development, still have relatively weak overall strength and lag significantly behind mature foreign companies. Due to the generally low investment in technological R&D by domestic automotive parts suppliers and insufficient attention from local governments to the industry, the overall technical level of enterprises within the sector remains backward, with relatively inadequate independent development capabilities and a strong reliance on technology imports. Purchasing Considerations: Check for rust on the surface of the parts. Qualified parts have a certain level of precision and a bright, smooth finish. The more critical the part, the higher the precision, and the more stringent the anti-rust and anti-corrosion packaging. When purchasing, inspect carefully. If you find rust spots, mold spots, cracked rubber parts, loss of elasticity, or obvious tool marks on the shaft surface, the part should be replaced. Check if the protective coating is intact. Most parts are coated with a protective layer when they leave the factory. For example, piston pins and bearing bushes are protected with wax; piston rings and cylinder liners are coated with anti-rust oil and wrapped in packaging paper; valves and pistons
