Replacing shock absorbers requires a wheel alignment to prevent issues like uneven tire wear and vehicle drifting. Additional information about wheel alignment: 1. Wheel alignment adjusts the angular parameters of a vehicle's suspension system as a maintenance procedure, altering the original settings of the components. 2. Incorrect wheel alignment parameters may cause uneven tire wear, potentially leading to tire blowouts. 3. Symptoms such as poor handling, steering wheel vibration, and drifting not only increase driver fatigue and the risk of accidents but may also result in higher fuel consumption.

Where is the registration book for a financed car?

The "Vehicle Registration Certificate" for a financed car is generally mortgaged at the bank that provided the auto loan. Introduction to the Vehicle Registration Certificate: The Vehicle Registration Certificate is kept by the vehicle owner and is not carried with the vehicle. It is required to be presented for any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records relevant information about the vehicle, serving as the vehicle's "household register." For registered motor vehicles, if the Vehicle Registration Certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, procedures for replacement or reissuance of the certificate must be completed. Materials required for applying for a Vehicle Registration Certificate: Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof. Vehicle inspection record form. It is important to note that the application for the Motor Vehicle Registration Form requires the vehicle to be brought to the local vehicle management office, and the application must be made by the vehicle owner personally; it cannot be delegated to others. If the Vehicle Registration Certificate needs to be reissued, the vehicle owner must personally present the required documents and have the vehicle inspected at the local vehicle management office. After the inspection is completed, wait for the vehicle information to be confirmed.

Is Crankshaft Oil Seal Leak Covered Under Warranty?

Whether a crankshaft oil seal leak is covered under warranty depends on specific circumstances. Warranty time and mileage regulations: If the warranty period has not expired and the mileage has not been exceeded, it can be covered under warranty. National vehicle regulations stipulate a minimum warranty period of three years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Most automakers offer a warranty of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever occurs earlier. As long as neither the 3-year period nor the mileage limit has been exceeded, the warranty applies. Causes of crankshaft oil seal leakage: The parallelism between the rear oil seal pressing surface and the rear oil seal seat installation surface does not meet technical requirements. After the engine has been used for some time, the lip of the rear oil seal deforms due to uneven force, leading to oil seal damage and oil leakage. During the pressing process of the crankshaft oil seal, engine oil is used instead of the relatively more expensive non-petroleum-based lubricant, causing the oil seal to loosen or even fall off after the engine has been used for some time. If the engine has been used for too long, the rear oil seal naturally ages, developing cracks at the lip, resulting in oil leakage.

How Long Does It Take to Pick Up a BYD New Energy Vehicle?

The pickup time for a BYD new energy vehicle depends on whether the 4S store has inventory. Here are the details: When the 4S store has inventory: For less popular or niche BYD new energy models, 4S stores usually have inventory. In this case, you won’t have to wait too long—typically about a week. Once the paperwork is completed and accessories are installed, you can pick up the car. Inventory levels vary depending on the region and the size of the 4S store. When the 4S store does not have inventory: If the 4S store happens to have no inventory, they will coordinate with nearby stores to transfer a vehicle, which takes about 10 to 15 days. For some highly popular models where production capacity cannot keep up with demand, the waiting time for pickup may range from 3 to 6 months. If there is a delay beyond the promised time, you can negotiate with the salesperson to cancel the order.
