Shock Absorber bad performance is the hydraulic oil inside the shock absorber leaking out from the piston rod. The following is the relevant introduction of the shock absorber: 1. Working principle: The working principle is that when the frame (or body) and the axle vibrate and there is relative movement, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, and the oil in the shock absorber cavity repeatedly flows from one cavity to another through different pores. 2. Purpose: To accelerate the attenuation of the vibration of the frame and body, in order to improve the driving smoothness (comfort) of the car, most cars are equipped with shock absorbers inside the suspension system.

What are the reasons for brake noise?

The reasons for brake noise are: severe tire wear, foreign objects on the brake pads, incorrectly installed or mismatched brake pads, and excessively thin brake linings. If a new car makes a squeaking noise when braking, it is a normal situation because new brake linings require a certain break-in period to increase the contact area between the brake pads and brake discs, achieving better braking performance. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) uses sensors installed on the wheels to send signals when the wheels are about to lock up. The controller then instructs the regulator to reduce the oil pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, decreasing the braking torque. After a certain period, the original oil pressure is restored, and this cycle repeats continuously (up to 5 to 10 times per second), keeping the wheels in a rotating state while maintaining maximum braking torque.

What causes insufficient power when the car air conditioner is turned on?

When the car air conditioner is turned on, the reason for insufficient power is: The car air conditioner is driven by the engine, and the power of the air conditioning compressor comes from the car engine. During the operation of the air conditioner, some power is also consumed, making the car feel sluggish when accelerating and lacking in power. It is a normal phenomenon for a car to experience insufficient power after turning on the air conditioner, and this phenomenon becomes more noticeable as the car ages. A car air conditioner refers to the air conditioning device installed in the car, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

What is the button with an 'a' and a circle in a car?

Car button with an 'a' and a circle is the auto-hold function of the car. Press once to turn on the auto-hold function, and press again to turn it off. This button is mostly located on the vehicle's center console, placed next to the electronic parking brake. The auto-hold function is an extension of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which controls the four-wheel brakes through the ESP. In this process, the ECU computer uses sensors installed on the vehicle to obtain the levelness of the car body and the torque of the wheels, thereby determining whether braking is needed to prevent rolling. The braking force applied to the wheels is not too strong, just enough to stop the vehicle from moving, so that when the accelerator is pressed again to move forward, there won't be too severe jerking.
