Replacing a car's suspension is not considered a major overhaul. The suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. There are seven types of suspensions: 1. Double-wishbone suspension; 2. MacPherson suspension; 3. Multi-link suspension; 4. Double transverse arm suspension; 5. Double ball-joint suspension; 6. Torsion beam suspension; 7. Solid axle suspension. The functions of a car's suspension are: 1. Providing cushioning when the vehicle passes over uneven ground; 2. Ensuring the wheels move within a fixed angle to maintain stable steering; 3. Supporting the weight of the wheels; 4. Maintaining good contact between the wheels and the ground, ensuring that the driving force and braking force generated between the wheels and the ground are accurately transmitted to the car body.

Where to Find the Frame Number of a Small Electric Car?

Generally, the frame number can be found on the insurance policy or on the vehicle identification label located on the front windshield. Below is relevant information about the vehicle frame number: 1. Composition Principle: The frame number is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, frame number, or VIN. 2. Function: The vehicle identification number is uniquely arranged to identify the vehicle. 3. Meaning: The first character is an alphanumeric symbol indicating a geographical region, such as Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, or South America. The second character is a letter or number indicating a specific country within that region. In the United States, the Society of Automotive Engineers is responsible for assigning country codes. The third character is a letter or number indicating a specific manufacturer, assigned by the authorized agencies of each country. When a manufacturer's annual production is fewer than 500 vehicles, the third character of the world manufacturer identification code is 9.

What Causes the Airbag Light to Illuminate in a Car?

Several reasons for the airbag light to illuminate: 1. Engine self-check: The indicator light will turn on when starting the car but will go off after the self-check is completed, typically within about 5 seconds. This is a normal phenomenon. 2. False fault: If the car battery is severely underpowered, the airbag system may send a signal indicating low voltage for a specific airbag, generating a fault code. In this case, simply clearing the code will suffice. 3. Actual fault: Issues such as airbag malfunction, clock spring failure, crash sensor fault, loose airbag connector, or circuit breakage may occur. It is necessary to promptly use a diagnostic tool to read the fault code, locate the fault point based on the code, and resolve the issue.

What Causes the Lower Part of the Left Wiper to Shake on a New Car?

Impurities or foreign objects on the wiper blade or glass surface can cause noticeable resistance when the wiper reaches certain positions, leading to shaking. Below is relevant information about wipers: 1. Operating Principle: The power source of the wiper comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the motor in wipers are quite high. Typically, a DC permanent magnet motor is used, and the wiper motor installed on the front windshield is usually integrated with the worm gear mechanical part. The worm gear mechanism serves to reduce speed and increase torque, with its output shaft driving a four-bar linkage mechanism that converts continuous rotational motion into a left-right oscillating motion. 2. Basic Introduction: The wiper is a blade-like structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage mechanism, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust that obstruct the view on the windshield.

Can Small Car Wheel Hubs Be Repaired If Scratched?

Wheel hub scratches can be repaired. Below is relevant information about wheel hubs: 1. Scratch Classification: Wheel hub scratches are generally categorized into surface scratches and wheel hub edge scratches. After being scratched and the paint chips off, the wheel hub loses its protective layer. Prolonged exposure in this state can lead to oxidation and corrosion of the wheel hub surface. 2. Severity of Scratches: If the scratch damages the aluminum alloy material of the wheel hub, the hub is rendered unusable. Particularly, corrosion resulting from unrepaired edge scratches can cause poor sealing between the wheel hub and tire, leading to slow air leakage and compromising safety. Daily maintenance for car wheel hubs is as follows: (1) When the car has been driven for an extended period and the wheel hubs are hot, avoid washing them with cold water. Wait until the hubs cool down naturally before cleaning. Washing hot wheel hubs can trigger chemical reactions on the surface, causing loss of gloss and affecting the vehicle's overall appearance. (2) Never use a wire brush when cleaning wheel hubs to prevent surface damage. Opt for a softer brush or a specialized wheel hub cleaning brush.

Is the Vehicle Purchase Tax Compensated for a Total Loss New Car?

It depends. According to relevant laws such as the "Tort Liability Law of the People's Republic of China," if a new car is involved in a traffic accident where the owner is not at fault, and the vehicle damage is extremely severe—with the loss amount approaching or even exceeding the insured value of the vehicle—the owner can actually apply for compensation for the vehicle purchase tax and additional vehicle accessories, as these constitute the owner's actual losses. Additional Information: The compensation amount from the insurance company generally does not exceed the insured value of the vehicle. However, legally, there is no such stipulation (this restriction only applies to the at-fault party's vehicle damage insurance). Therefore, if the loss is particularly significant, the not-at-fault owner can apply for an appraisal. If the appraised amount exceeds the sum of the insured amount and the vehicle purchase tax, the owner can file a lawsuit to claim all loss expenses, including the vehicle purchase tax and additional vehicle accessories.
