Replacing brake discs does not require a wheel alignment. Situations that necessitate a wheel alignment include: 1. The vehicle's driving performance is affected (the most noticeable symptom for the driver is pulling to one side, and the steering wheel not returning to center after turning is another). 2. Damage to the chassis and suspension due to an accident. 3. Abnormal tire wear (though it's also important to consider whether abnormal wear is caused by incorrect tire pressure—generally, overinflation increases wear on the center of the tread, while underinflation increases wear on both sides; if one side shows uneven wear, it could indicate a camber angle issue). 4. The axle or suspension components have been removed.

Does Replacing the Rear Quarter Panel Require Cutting the C-Pillar?

Replacing the rear quarter panel does not require cutting the C-pillar. Below is some information about replacing the rear quarter panel: 1. Rear Quarter Panel: Cutting does not affect the C-pillar. The rear quarter panel, also known as the rear apron, is often the first to be damaged in a rear-end collision, right after the rear bumper. 2. Rear Apron: Simply drilling out the weld spots on the rear apron can take half a day, and welding it back requires additional steps like applying sealant, making the process quite cumbersome. The time spent replacing the rear apron could be used to handle several minor accidents, so the decision to replace or repair depends on the actual situation. If the rear apron is slightly dented, it can be slowly pulled out using a frame or a pull hammer without needing to cut the rear apron.

What are the damages of pulling the electronic handbrake while driving?

Pulling the electronic handbrake while driving can cause significant damage to the vehicle's braking system, so it's best not to attempt emergency braking functions casually unless in an emergency. The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as a mechanical handbrake—both rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Additional information: 1. Correct usage of the electronic handbrake: With the brake pedal pressed and the vehicle stationary, pull the electronic handbrake button upward. The driver can see a red electronic handbrake symbol on the dashboard, indicating that the electronic handbrake is engaged. 2. How to release the electronic handbrake: Shift the gear into D, press the accelerator, and the electronic handbrake will release automatically; or press the brake pedal and push the electronic handbrake button downward.

How to Clean the Car Air Conditioning Filter?

To clean the car air conditioning filter, if it is too dirty, replace it directly. If it is not particularly dirty, you can use a hair dryer to blow the filter clean from the inside out. Below is some relevant information about car air conditioning filters: 1. Types: There are two types of air conditioning filters, one is the standard type, and the other contains activated carbon (please confirm before purchasing). The activated carbon filter not only performs the functions mentioned above but also absorbs a large amount of odors. 2. Functions: (1) Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. (2) Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air. (3) Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air; it can strongly and persistently adsorb moisture.

Why does it feel like there is water in the car when stepping on the brake?

There are several reasons why it feels like there is water in the car when stepping on the brake: 1. Sound of circulating water from the water pump: This is a normal phenomenon. 2. Water inside the door: During rain, water can flow into the door through gaps in the window. The door's drainage hole might be clogged, preventing the water from draining out. 3. Lack of coolant: Some car brands have a heater core, and when the coolant is low, a water-flowing sound can occur. 4. Air leakage in the vacuum booster pump: The vacuum booster pump may need replacement. 5. Water ingress in the right side rail: The issue can be resolved by unclogging the drainage hole under the right side rail or removing the lower guard plate.
