Panel beating and painting involve complex procedures, and the entire process is time-consuming, making it impossible to complete and pick up the car within a single day. If the vehicle's damage area is extensive, the time required will be further extended. Repairing one panel at a 4S shop typically takes at least two to three days. Specific details are as follows: 1. Automotive Panel Beating: Automotive panel beating (Metal-Plate) is a technical method in auto repair. In this context, it refers to the repair of the vehicle body after a collision, encompassing all tasks except for anti-corrosion and decorative spray painting. This includes analyzing the damage to the vehicle body, measuring the vehicle body, shaping the metal panels, stretching and straightening, stress-relief welding, as well as assembling and adjusting vehicle body attachments. 2. Process: Automotive panel beating is a repair method, also known as cold working. Simply put, if the vehicle's exterior is damaged or deformed, panel beating is required.

How often should differential oil be changed?

Generally, it should be replaced every three years or 60,000 kilometers, and it's best to replace the oil filter screen at the same time. Differential oil reaches its service life: Differential oil has a service life. When it reaches a certain mileage, it definitely needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the lubrication effect of the oil will sharply decline, causing abnormal noises in the differential. Differential gear wear: When the gears are severely worn, it becomes difficult for them to match with other internal components. Naturally, a buzzing sound will occur during differential operation, and a new gear must be installed to resolve the issue. If the spacing between the gears is not properly adjusted, it can also cause abnormal noises in the differential, requiring readjustment.

Why Does the Car Feel Bumpy on a Smooth Road?

The reason why the car feels bumpy on a smooth road is due to faults in the vehicle's chassis system components. When the hydraulic shock absorbers fail, the repeated extension and compression of the springs cannot be effectively suppressed, causing the car body to bounce up and down, resulting in a bumpy sensation. There are three main scenarios where the car feels bumpy on a smooth road: 1. Suspension system failure causing bumpiness during smooth road driving; 2. Tire imbalance leading to bumpiness during smooth road driving; 3. Improper wheel alignment resulting in bumpiness during smooth road driving. The solution to address bumpiness on a smooth road is as follows: First, drive at a low speed and then perform a sudden brake. If the car shakes severely and the occupants feel uncomfortable, it indicates a problem with the shock absorbers, and they should be replaced.

How to Use a Socket Wrench Correctly?

Place the socket onto the square drive of the matching handle, then fit the socket over the bolt or nut. Hold the connection between the handle and the socket with your left hand to keep the socket coaxial with the bolt being loosened or tightened, and apply force with your right hand by gripping the matching handle. A socket wrench consists of multiple sockets with hexagonal or dodecagonal holes, along with various attachments such as handles and extension bars. It is particularly suitable for turning bolts or nuts in very tight or deeply recessed spaces. When selecting a socket, ensure that it perfectly matches the shape and size of the bolt or nut. An incorrect choice may cause the socket to slip during use, potentially damaging the bolt or nut.

Should the Filter Element Be Replaced When Changing Transmission Fluid?

Changing transmission fluid requires replacing the filter element. There are three main reasons for this: 1. Over time, transmission fluid accumulates increasing impurities: The filter can become clogged, reducing its effectiveness and allowing contaminants to enter the transmission directly, accelerating wear and significantly shortening the transmission's lifespan. 2. During vehicle operation, friction between mechanical metal components inside the transmission can generate impurities and metal debris: The transmission fluid filter's role is to filter out iron particles, sediment, and other impurities from the transmission fluid, supplying clean fluid to all components for lubrication and cleaning. 3. Some vehicle models lack a separate transmission fluid drain hole, requiring the oil pan to be removed for fluid changes: This includes the filter element, which must also be replaced. Models with a separate transmission fluid drain hole may have maintenance-free filter elements that do not require replacement.
