Car mats with odors release volatile organic pollutants, which can be harmful. Below are the specific functions of car mats: 1. Maintaining interior cleanliness: The role of car mats is similar to that of household mats, helping to keep the floor of the car clean. 2. Comfort: The comfort of car mats is reflected in two aspects: they provide some insulation and can absorb vibrations. Whether for front or rear-engine vehicles, car mats can somewhat reduce the heat generated by the engine. They also absorb a significant amount of the vibrations experienced while driving. 3. Sound insulation: Car mats have a certain soundproofing effect. Noise from the car's underside passes through the mats before entering the cabin, and these noises are absorbed and weakened by the mats, achieving a soundproofing effect.

How to Use Brake Fluid?

Brake fluid usage method is: For different types of brake fluid, they cannot be mixed together, as this will reduce the braking effect of the car. Do not mix gasoline, diesel, or engine oil into the brake fluid. Car brake fluid is the liquid used in hydraulic brake systems, which must not cause chemical reactions, be unaffected by high temperatures, and not cause corrosion, softening, or expansion to metals and rubber. The volume of brake fluid changes with temperature, so the brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a vent hole. The air drawn in through this hole contains moisture or impurities, and the moisture will be absorbed or dissolved by the brake fluid. Therefore, brake fluid containing moisture will have a lower boiling point.

Why Does the Exhaust Pipe of a New Car Rust?

After being subjected to high-temperature baking, the exhaust pipe of a new car is prone to oxidation and rust. Here are specific maintenance methods for the exhaust pipe: 1. Waterproof: When driving in the rain or going to a car wash, be careful to prevent water from entering the muffler, which can cause rust and affect the exhaust pipe's performance. 2. Rust prevention: Remove the muffler, block the drain hole, add rust-proof oil, and ensure it spreads evenly inside the cylinder before reinstalling the muffler. 3. Cleaning: The exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside, similar to the car's interior. Accumulated dirt inside can affect normal usage, so it's important to clean the exhaust pipe regularly.

What is a Coilover Suspension?

Coilover suspension refers to height-adjustable shock absorbers that allow modification of the ground clearance at all four corners of a vehicle. A coilover shock absorber features threaded components on its body, enabling users to set the vehicle's preload according to personal preferences. The threads on the shock absorber are specifically designed to adjust spring stiffness, thereby configuring the preload. There are primarily two height adjustment methods for coilovers: body-only adjustment and full-length adjustment. Body-only adjustable coilovers feature a single adjustment point at the spring perch, whereas full-length adjustable coilovers offer two adjustment points: the spring perch and the lower mount adjustment ring that surrounds the shock absorber body.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Shake?

There are many reasons for steering wheel shaking. Below is a detailed explanation of steering wheel shaking: 1. Main causes: Loose ball joint in the tie rod. Excessive play in the universal joint cross shaft. Loose adjustment bracket for the steering wheel's front/rear and height positioning. Deformed tires or rims. Generally, steering wheel shaking is mostly caused by tire dynamic balance failure, and performing a four-wheel dynamic balance adjustment can usually resolve the issue. 2. Other causes: Bulging tires and deformed rims. Check the four-wheel alignment data. Loose wheel bearings. Aging or damaged engine and transmission mounting bushings. Faulty drive axle with excessive internal wear and clearance. Loose or damaged steering gear and ball joints.
