Car suspensions are divided into two types: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Independent suspensions include MacPherson strut independent suspension, transverse arm independent suspension, longitudinal arm independent suspension, and double-wishbone independent suspension. Non-independent suspensions include leaf spring non-independent suspension, coil spring non-independent suspension, and main-secondary leaf spring non-independent suspension. The suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and axle. It supports the vehicle body and can also reduce the transmission of vibrations when the car passes over bumpy roads, making the ride more comfortable for passengers. The suspension consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, and shock absorbers. Some vehicle models also have an anti-roll bar on the suspension to reduce body roll during high-speed cornering, improving the stability and driving limits of the car.

Effects of Water Ingress into the Front Hood of a Car?

Water ingress into the front hood of a car can cause electrical short circuits, poor contact, water entering the engine, rusting of the car body, mold on fabrics, sound insulation layers, etc. After driving through water, the front hood, four doors, and trunk should be opened to air out and avoid moisture damage, followed by a thorough inspection. Below are three scenarios of water entering the engine: 1. The car can still be driven, but the air filter gets wet, and the engine draws in some water into the intake tract, forming water vapor. The water vapor mixes with gasoline and burns completely, having minimal impact on the engine. 2. A small amount of water enters the engine and mixes with the engine oil, degrading the oil quality. Oil containing water increases wear on engine components, leading to louder engine noise and more vibration while driving. 3. The engine starts but shuts down after a few seconds, and then fails to start multiple times. Since water cannot be compressed, when it enters the cylinder, the engine continues to operate at high speed. During the power stroke, the inability to compress water directly causes the valves and connecting rods to bend, pistons to seize, severe cylinder wear, and crankshaft bending. The engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible.

Where is the engine number of Chery Tiggo 3 located?

The engine number of Chery Tiggo 3 is located at the front lower part of the engine, facing the radiator direction. It generally consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle driving license prints the engine number, usually located in the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will record the engine number; The car purchase invoice will record the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will record the engine number. Please note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only use one engine number, and the number of each engine is unique.

Is the Impact of New Car Recall for Fuel Pump Replacement Significant?

The impact is not significant, and it is not a major issue. Car owners only need to cooperate with the manufacturer for the replacement. Here is some information about the fuel pump: 1. Function: The main role of the fuel pump is to supply fuel to the engine. The fuel pump delivers high-pressure fuel to the fuel injection pipe, ensuring a continuous supply of fuel to the injectors. 2. Composition: The fuel pump consists of an electric motor, a pressure limiter, and a check valve. The electric motor actually operates within the fuel inside the pump housing. There is no need to worry because there is nothing inside the housing that can ignite. The fuel lubricates and cools the fuel motor. A check valve is installed at the fuel outlet, and the pressure limiter is located on the pressure side of the pump housing, with a passage leading to the fuel inlet.

Will points be deducted if the side line exceeds 30 cm during parallel parking?

Parallel parking with the side line exceeding 30 cm results in a 10-point deduction. Additionally, other penalty points for parallel parking include stopping midway (100-point deduction), tires touching the lane boundary while moving (10-point deduction), and the vehicle body crossing the line after stopping in the parking space (100-point deduction). Although the rules state that stalling the engine due to improper operation deducts 10 points, stalling during parallel parking is equivalent to stopping midway, resulting in an immediate 100-point deduction. After the implementation of the new traffic regulations, parallel parking no longer uses guide poles but instead relies entirely on ground markings to define the parking space boundaries. For learners obtaining a C1 driver's license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the vehicle length plus 1 meter. The vehicle should be driven parallel to the parking space, then reversed into the space without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the designated boundaries without crossing the side lines, it is considered a pass. Adjust the left and right side mirrors for parallel parking: the left mirror should be lowered enough to see the left rear wheel, while the right mirror should show the vehicle body. The interior rearview mirror should also be adjusted so that the middle of the rear windshield is visible when looking up.

What Causes Power Steering Failure?

Power steering failure can be caused by a leaking power steering booster, insufficient power steering fluid, or a damaged power steering pump. For hydraulic power steering systems, it is necessary to check whether the pump belt is too loose or has come off. For electronic power steering systems, it is also important to inspect the motor or wiring for any issues. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Introduction to Power Steering: Power steering assists the driver in adjusting the car's direction, reducing the effort required to turn the steering wheel. It also plays a role in the safety and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Currently, the power steering systems installed in cars can be broadly categorized into three types: mechanical hydraulic power steering systems, electro-hydraulic power steering systems, and electric power steering systems. 2. Introduction to Hydraulic Power Steering Systems: Mechanical hydraulic power steering systems generally consist of components such as a hydraulic pump, oil pipes, a pressure and flow control valve body, a V-type drive belt, and a fluid reservoir. This system operates continuously, whether the car is turning or not, and requires the hydraulic pump to deliver more power at lower speeds during sharp turns to provide greater assistance.
