Methods to determine if a car's shock absorber is faulty include: 1. Perform an emergency brake at a relatively reduced speed on a safe road, observing whether the braking posture differs significantly from previous experiences—excessive vibration indicates a problem with the shock absorber; 2. Oil leakage—the normal operation of a shock absorber relies on hydraulic oil, and once leakage occurs, the shock absorber's performance will decline; 3. With the car stationary, press down on one corner of the body and then release it. If the body rebounds under the spring force and quickly stabilizes, the shock absorber is functioning normally. If it oscillates several times before stopping, the shock absorber's damping effect is poor.

How to Remove a Wheel?

Loosen the tire fixing screws, then use a jack to partially lift the vehicle; remove the other screws of the tire, then pull the tire outward with force and loosen the last screw to remove it. The specific method for removing a car tire: 1. When removing the tire to be replaced, note: Do not immediately use the jack to lift the car. First, use a socket wrench to loosen the fixing screws of the tire in sequence, then use the jack to partially lift the vehicle. 2. When removing the fixing screws of the wheel, pay attention to the direction of force: turn counterclockwise to loosen; turn clockwise to tighten. Additionally, since the fixing screws of the wheel are very tight, you need to use your full body strength. 3. Notes on using the jack: After loosening the screws one by one, you can use the jack to partially lift the vehicle. When using the jack, note: There are many slots on both sides of the car bottom for placing the jack. Make sure to place the jack in the slot to avoid accidents. After the jack is raised, the loosened screws can be easily removed in sequence, and then the entire tire can be taken off, which means the tire removal is successfully completed.

What does it mean when a vehicle status shows as seized?

In judicial practice, you may often hear about mortgaged vehicles. Whether it's a mortgaged vehicle or a debt-assigned vehicle, they are products of economic disputes. As long as the debt dispute remains unresolved, the vehicle may enter a "seized" status. Formally speaking, a seized vehicle refers to one that is prohibited by the court from registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, deregistration, or pledge release due to economic debt disputes or other reasons. According to Order No. 124 of the Ministry of Public Security, it clearly specifies the prohibited operations during the seizure period, including registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, deregistration, and pledge release. However, annual inspections, temporary license plates, and replacement of license plates or certificates are not prohibited. Therefore, seized vehicles can still undergo normal annual inspections. Vehicle owners can log into any national public security bureau's motor vehicle inquiry system, enter the license plate number, and check the status column. If it shows as "locked," the vehicle may be seized or mortgaged, and cannot be transferred or undergo other procedures. For specific reasons, the owner must bring relevant documents (ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license) to the license plate issuing authority to inquire about the cause.
