Solutions for poor shock absorption in Chevrolet New Sail: If experiencing reduced shock absorption performance, it is recommended to replace the vehicle's shock absorbers. Shock absorber issues may be caused by internal component damage, requiring replacement to resolve. When shock absorbers malfunction, high-speed driving should be avoided as vehicles are designed and calibrated for normal driving conditions. Excessive speed can significantly reduce vehicle stability. The hatchback version of Chevrolet New Sail features a more compact and sporty body design, with dimensions of 3947mm in length, 1690mm in width, 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2465mm.

I recently encountered the issue of poor shock absorption with my Chevrolet New Sail. Honestly, this is something that can happen as the car gets older. The shock absorbers are a crucial part of the suspension system, and when they age or wear out, the ride becomes noticeably bumpy, especially on rough roads where the whole car feels like it's shaking. I recommend starting with a simple inspection to check if the shock absorbers are leaking oil or deformed. Try pressing down on the car body to see if it rebounds smoothly. If there are unusual noises or insufficient support, it's likely the shock absorbers are damaged and need replacement—avoid cheap aftermarket parts and opt for OEM or reputable brands for better reliability. After replacement, a wheel alignment is a must to extend their lifespan. In daily driving, avoid overloading and hitting bumps at high speeds to protect the suspension. The Chevrolet New Sail isn’t designed as a high-end vehicle to begin with, so regular checks of suspension components like springs and linkage joints can help prevent issues. Otherwise, poor shock absorption not only makes the ride uncomfortable but also increases braking distance, which is more dangerous.

Does Parking Surveillance Damage the Battery?

Parking surveillance does not harm the battery, but it may cause the car battery to drain. More details about parking surveillance are as follows: 1. Currently, dash cams with parking surveillance function on the market are powered in two ways: by connecting to the car battery or by using the built-in battery of the dash cam. For car battery power supply, it can be further divided into OBD port power supply, ACC fuse box power supply, and reading light connection to the fuse box power supply, which means connecting to different constant power sources in the car. Even after the car is turned off, the parking surveillance function of the dash cam connected to the car's constant power can still operate normally. 2. If the car is not driven for more than a week, it is recommended to unplug the power connector of the dash cam to prevent the battery from being completely drained and affecting the car's startup. If the car is parked for only 2-3 days without driving, the dash cam will not deplete the car battery's power.
