Methods for dealing with car dents: If the car surface is dented without paint peeling, you can use paintless dent repair technology to fix it. If the car body is dented with paint peeling, you can opt for metal sheet and spray painting repair. The paintless dent repair technology can preserve the original car paint. Skilled and experienced professional technicians can quickly repair dents caused by driving collisions, hail damage, or firecracker impacts using methods like external suction and internal pushing. If the damaged area is large, you can pour hot water to soften the car surface, then manually push it out from the inside. For the remaining small areas that cannot be pushed out, tools like a toilet plunger can be used to suction them out.

I remember one time when a small stone hit the side of my car, leaving a small dent. I tried to fix it myself by pouring hot water over the dented area. The plastic softened, and I gently pushed it back into place from the inside. If that didn’t work, buying a car suction cup tool to pull it flat was also an easy solution. However, note that this method only works for small, shallow dents where the metal isn’t damaged. If the dent is large or deep, don’t force it—you might make it worse. It’s better to visit a professional auto body repair shop, where they use specialized tools to tap it back into shape. When driving daily, be extra cautious and park away from traffic to minimize such incidents.

What causes rhythmic noise from the rear wheels of an Audi Q7 at low speeds?

Audi Q7 rear wheel rhythmic noise at low speeds causes: Tire issues: Stones stuck in the tread grooves of rear tires can cause a "clicking" noise during high-speed driving. This noise frequency changes with vehicle speed - faster at higher speeds and slower at lower speeds. Brake pad problems: When brake pads wear to their limit, the metal wear indicators rubbing against the brake disc will create significant noise. Additionally, harder brake pad materials can also cause noise. Bearing wear: Worn or loose wheel bearings in the rear wheels can also produce abnormal noises.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Turning in Geely Vision?

Geely Vision turning squeaking noise causes: Friction between plastic components: Since the steering wheel is usually made of plastic components, when temperatures drop, the plastic hardens and may produce friction noises. Aging of steering tie rod ball joint: If the steering tie rod ball joint ages, it can cause the car's steering wheel to shake and produce noise. This situation usually requires replacing the steering tie rod ball joint and performing a four-wheel alignment after replacement. Steering gear failure: If there is a very loud noise when turning, it may be caused by excessive clearance in the steering gear's meshing gears, requiring replacement of the steering gear.
