Corolla is based on the TNGA architecture, which is similar to Volkswagen's MQB and MLB modular platforms, but these are not identical concepts. This architecture represents an upgrade in the overall system capabilities. The Corolla is a compact sedan launched by FAW Toyota. The new-generation Corolla is built on the all-new TNGA architecture, achieving overall vehicle lightweighting. In terms of the car's exterior and interior, the vehicle's quality has significantly improved, with a more youthful overall design. The TNGA architecture lowers the center of gravity of the new Corolla. For the hybrid version, the battery is relocated beneath the rear seats, which not only enhances driving stability but also increases interior space. Built on the new platform, the Corolla also features upgraded suspension. The front suspension's eccentric pressure bearing aligns with the kingpin, effectively improving steering precision and enhancing the durability of the eccentric pressure bearing.

What Causes the Sound Under the Hood After the Car is Turned Off?

It is normal to hear a popping sound after turning off the engine. Pay attention to whether the sound comes from the bottom of the vehicle. If so, it is the sound made by the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter as it cools down. This is the sound of the muffler expanding and contracting due to heat after the engine is turned off. Many cars experience this phenomenon, and it is completely normal. Since the exhaust pipe reaches very high temperatures during engine operation, manufacturers install heat shields between the exhaust pipe and the vehicle chassis to prevent excessive heat from causing the rubber and plastic components in the chassis to age prematurely. The high heat causes the heat shield to expand, and when the engine is turned off, the heat shield cools rapidly. The rapid alternation between hot and cold temperatures leads to thermal expansion and contraction at a fast rate, causing the heat shield to deform and produce the sound. It is similar to the sound made when repeatedly bending a stainless steel sheet back and forth with force.

Why Shouldn't You Press the Button When Pulling the Handbrake?

Because the handbrake button is a release button, pressing it will disengage the rear wheel lock. Therefore, you should not press the button when pulling the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Below are some precautions regarding handbrake operation. Do not pull the handbrake too tight: The handbrake mechanism is a ratchet system. Pulling it too tight can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable, which is irreversible. This deformation will increase the handbrake's travel distance and also affect its braking force. Precautions when releasing the handbrake: When releasing the handbrake, you need to apply a slight upward force to the handbrake while pressing the button, then fully release it. Due to the unique tooth profile of the ratchet, when engaged, the pawl is not easy to lift directly. The ratchet needs to rotate slightly further in the turning direction to smoothly disengage the pawl.

What are the symptoms of a faulty steering tie rod ball joint?

Steering tie rod ball joint failure symptoms include abnormal knocking sounds when the car is driving on bumpy roads; noticeable wheel vibrations at low speeds; instability during driving, with the car swaying left and right or pulling to one side, and in severe cases, even causing brake failure; and excessive play in the ball joint, which can easily lead to breakage if subjected to impact loads. Replacement cycle for steering ball joints: There is no fixed replacement cycle for car ball joints; they only need to be replaced when damaged. The lifespan of a ball joint is generally determined by road conditions. It is usually inspected every 80,000 kilometers, and under normal circumstances, replaced every 100,000 kilometers. However, if the car frequently drives on rough roads, the lifespan of the ball joint will be relatively shorter, and damage may occur as early as 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers.

Where to Add Transmission Fluid for Elantra?

The Hyundai Elantra has only one screw on the transmission oil pan, which serves as both the filling hole and the drain hole. Here is some relevant information: 1. Currently, urban roads are congested, air quality is poor, and the natural environment is harsh. In addition, many car owners do not change the oil even after reaching the recommended mileage. As a result, the transmission fluid becomes thick, black, and develops an odor, leading to increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and mechanical failures. Dirty oil can clog the filter, causing insufficient oil supply and potentially burning out the transmission. It is best for car owners to change the transmission fluid regularly to ensure more efficient lubrication and power transmission. 2. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, providing lubrication to extend the life of the transmission components. It offers effective lubrication even at low temperatures and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions.
