How Often Should Shock Absorber Springs Be Replaced?

1 Answers

Shock absorber springs should be replaced every four to five years. Replacement Conditions: The shock absorber is leaking oil or making abnormal noises, and the shock absorber springs have become too soft or deformed. Precautions: Both the shock absorber and shock absorber springs should be replaced together, and they must be replaced as a matched set. For the rear shock absorbers of a car, the springs do not need to be replaced. If there is an issue with the rear shock absorber, only the shock absorber core should be replaced. If the springs are found to be too soft or too hard, only the matched shock absorber springs need to be replaced. Shock absorber springs must be replaced in pairs; replacing just one will affect the car's balance, whereas replacing them in pairs (left and right) will not have any impact.

How to extract oil from Wuling Hongguang?

Methods for extracting oil from Wuling Hongguang: 1. Park the car facing uphill on a slope - the steeper the slope, the easier it is to extract oil; 2. Put the gear in first and engage the handbrake; 3. Open the fuel tank cap and insert one end of the hose into the tank (try to reach the bottom as much as possible); 4. Use airflow to suck out the gasoline; 5. When gasoline reaches the pipe opening, cover the opening and slowly direct it into a container; 6. When gasoline continuously flows from the tank to the container, the extraction is complete. Wuling Hongguang is SAIC-GM-Wuling's first independently developed crossover product between commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. Its body dimensions are 4305mm in length, 1680mm in width, and 1750mm in height.

What does the minimum ground clearance of a car mean?

The minimum ground clearance of a car refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to indicate the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The design of the minimum ground clearance must take into account the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, as well as the possibility that the car will not scrape when approaching the edge of a regular sidewalk. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Will the Dash Cam Continue Recording After the Car is Turned Off?

Generally, the dash cam will automatically shut down after the car is parked unless manually activated, in which case it can continue recording depending on the battery level. Here are methods to keep the dash cam running after parking: 1. During installation, connect the power supply directly to the car battery. This way, even when the car is turned off, the dash cam will continue to operate using the car battery's power, providing good protection for the vehicle after parking. 2. Another simpler method is to provide a large portable power source in the car. After turning off the car, connect the dash cam to the portable power source, allowing it to function normally using the portable power supply.

Is Car Maintenance at 4S Shops the Same as Outside?

There are differences between car maintenance at 4S shops and outside. 1. Different procurement channels for repair parts. 4S shops rely on the original equipment manufacturer, and basically all parts are uniformly provided by the manufacturer, ensuring 100% genuine and original parts without compatibility issues. Although repair shops have more procurement channels, the quality of parts varies. 2. Technical level. Since 4S shops rely on the original equipment manufacturer, to improve after-sales service, they naturally receive periodic training and professional learning from the manufacturer. Additionally, 4S shops specialize in repairing the same type of vehicles, making them relatively more familiar with the structure of various parts.

Can You Drive with the OBD Light On?

In general, an illuminated OBD light rarely prevents a car from starting, meaning the vehicle can still be driven. However, it's important to note that in regions like Beijing, if the owner does not promptly address excessive emissions, a universal diagnostic tool can detect the mileage driven after the light came on during an inspection, potentially leading to penalties during the annual vehicle inspection. More details are as follows: 1. The most important function of the OBD system is to continuously monitor whether the vehicle's emissions exceed standards based on the engine's operating conditions, issuing an immediate warning if they do. 2. There are many reasons that can trigger the OBD light, primarily related to vehicle emission faults.

Are all ETC devices solar-powered now?

Now all ETC devices are solar-powered. The ETC electronic tag equipment operates on a solar + battery mode, usually in a dormant state and only wakes up when triggered, which is very energy-efficient. It also maintains a solar charging state during normal times. More details are as follows: 1. Generally, ETC devices use lithium batteries internally and are charged by solar panels externally. Under normal use, they last about 3 years. If there are any quality issues within the 2-year warranty period, you can bring the ETC device to an ETC service point for replacement. 2. For users who do not frequently use ETC, it is recommended to charge the ETC electronic tag once every 3 months to prevent the internal battery from natural discharge affecting its usage.
