Damage to the shock absorber rubber bushing generally does not affect the safety of car driving, but it can impact the comfort experience of passengers. Below is relevant information about car shock absorber rubber bushings: 1. Function: The shock absorber rubber bushing serves to buffer the impact between the shock absorber spring and the car body. When driving on uneven ground, each top bushing bears more than a quarter of the vehicle's weight in impact. When a complete pressure top bushing passes over speed bumps, it lifts the car body upward after the tires have fully landed, providing a slight upward sensation and excellent comfort. 2. Consequences of No Shock Absorber Rubber Bushing: The last damping function when the shock absorber reaches its highest or lowest point, such as when hitting a pothole, the shock absorber bottoms out with a 'bang' sound. Without the top bushing, it would produce a 'clang' noise, giving a hard and uncomfortable experience.

Is Driving at 80 km/h Considered Fast?

Driving at 80 km/h is relatively fast and falls under high-speed driving. Here are some precautions for high-speed driving: 1. Check tire pressure: Both overinflated and underinflated tires can lead to blowouts, with underinflation being more likely to cause a blowout. This is because underinflated tires have a larger contact area with the road, increasing rolling resistance. During high-speed driving, the tires heat up quickly, reducing their strength and leading to fatigue and eventual blowout after prolonged use. 2. Tire aging: Aged tires are more prone to blowouts during high-speed driving. Natural aging of tires is characterized by tread cracks and hardened rubber. When tire performance has significantly deteriorated, continued driving can easily result in a blowout. 3. Tire bulges: The appearance of bulges on the tire tread indicates that the internal cords have broken. In such cases, the tire is at risk of bursting at any moment and should be replaced immediately.

What are the reasons for the fuel tank cap lock key not turning?

Here are the specific reasons why the fuel tank cap lock key may not turn: 1. Connection device failure: The fuel tank cap connection mechanism may have come loose due to driving over bumps. 2. Frozen in winter: The fuel tank cap area may freeze in winter, making it impossible to open with the key. Do not force it open, as this can easily damage the fuel tank cap. Only use hot water to thaw the frozen area to speed up the melting process. 3. Wrong key turning direction: Incorrect operation, such as turning the key in the wrong direction. In most cases, turning the key clockwise unlocks it, while turning it counterclockwise locks it. 4. Lock cylinder failure: The lock hole may rust due to prolonged disuse. Try adding some engine oil to the lock cylinder.

How to reset the maintenance light of FAW Besturn T77?

When the engine switch is in OFF mode, press and hold the OK button, switch the engine to ON mode, and continue holding the OK button for more than 10 seconds before releasing it. The reasons for resetting the car maintenance light are as follows: 1. As driving time increases, the wear and tear of internal vehicle components gradually becomes more severe. To ensure normal vehicle operation, manufacturers have installed reminder indicator lights. After reaching a certain mileage, it is necessary to replace components promptly. After successful replacement, the car maintenance light must also be reset. 2. The function of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of important components, serving as a reminder for both the car owner and maintenance personnel. If related parts are replaced without resetting the maintenance light, although it does not affect the vehicle's performance, it may cause inconvenience for future part replacements, making it difficult to accurately track the usage time of new components.
