There are two common types of suspension: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Independent suspension includes MacPherson strut independent suspension, transverse arm independent suspension, longitudinal arm independent suspension, double wishbone independent suspension, etc. Non-independent suspension includes leaf spring non-independent suspension, coil spring non-independent suspension, and main-secondary leaf spring non-independent suspension, among others. Suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle frame and the axle. It supports the vehicle body and also reduces the transmission of vibrations when the car passes over bumpy roads, making the ride more comfortable for passengers.

I've been in the automotive industry for many years, and common suspension types include MacPherson strut, double-wishbone suspension, multi-link suspension, torsion beam suspension, and air suspension. MacPherson strut is most commonly found in urban and compact cars, with a simple and economical structure, making daily driving effortless; double-wishbone suspension is often used in sports cars or high-end vehicles, offering stable cornering and strong handling, providing a powerful driving experience; multi-link suspension is suitable for family cars or SUVs, with excellent shock absorption and minimal bumps, ensuring high ride comfort; torsion beam suspension is typically used in rear-wheel-drive small cars, being low-cost and easy to maintain, though it may feel stiff on bumpy roads; air suspension is common in luxury SUVs or electric vehicles, allowing height adjustment for complex terrains, but it is prone to malfunctions and expensive to repair. Choosing the right suspension depends on your needs—opt for MacPherson or multi-link for daily commuting, go for double-wishbone if you prioritize handling, and rely on air suspension for a luxury experience. Picking the right suspension ensures a smooth and safe drive.

Is the Cruze Fuel Efficient?

The Chevrolet Cruze has a fuel consumption of 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is not too high. Below is an introduction to the Chevrolet Cruze: The Chevrolet Cruze (Cruze) is a new-generation model developed by General Motors with the goal of creating a benchmark in design and performance for compact cars, integrating global resources. The vehicle is expected to be domestically produced by Shanghai GM next year to compete in the fiercely contested compact car market. In terms of powertrain, the new car will continue to be equipped with 1.5L and 1.4T engines, with maximum power outputs of 114 horsepower and 150 horsepower, respectively. For the transmission system, the 1.4T model will be paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.5L model will be matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission.

Can a car's USB port directly charge a phone?

A car's USB port can directly charge a phone, but the charging speed is very slow. While driving, you can simply plug your phone's data cable into the USB port for charging. The USB port in a car provides direct current (DC) power, which is supplied directly by the car's battery. Since mobile phones also use DC power for charging, the car's USB port can directly charge the phone. However, due to the low voltage of the car battery, the charging speed tends to be relatively slow. Car USB ports are designed as accessories to allow car owners to conveniently charge digital devices anytime using the car's power supply. They can be used to plug in USB drives for playing music, serve as USB car cigarette lighters, function as car vacuum cleaners, or power devices like electronic dog detectors and dash cams. Some high-end cars typically come with two USB ports, enabling simultaneous charging of two digital devices.

What is the ground clearance of the new Accord?

The minimum ground clearance of the Accord is 100mm. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is parked on a level surface under rated full load conditions. Function of ground clearance: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. Introduction to the Accord: The Accord is a testament to Honda's innovative spirit and global leading technology, with a 38-year history worldwide. The original tires for the Accord are Michelin's ultra-high-performance Pilot Super Sport tires. On April 16, 2018, the all-new Honda Accord, also known as the tenth-generation Honda Accord, was officially launched in China.

Is the 14t transmission of the Tayron dry or wet?

The 14t transmission of the Tayron is a wet dual-clutch transmission, with the clutch located between the engine and the gearbox. Difference between dry and wet engines: The main difference between dry and wet clutches lies in the connection medium between the driving disc and the driven disc. Dry dual-clutch transmissions rely on air for transmission, while wet dual-clutch transmissions use oil. Wet dual-clutch transmissions must have a hydraulic pump, lubricating fluid, cooling pipes, and an external cooling system. Introduction to dry and wet engines: A wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch system consisting of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, mounted coaxially. They are housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil, giving the wet clutch structure better adjustment capabilities and superior heat resistance, allowing it to transmit higher torque. The dry dual-clutch was developed based on the 6-speed DQ250 wet dual-clutch technology, simplifying the related hydraulic systems.

Where is the transmission vent hole on the new Jetta?

The vent hole of the transmission is located at the top of the transmission, near the right-side axle flange, and is the same length as the drain plug. Transmission: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. A gear-driven transmission generally consists of a housing and several pairs of gears. Function of the transmission: During vehicle operation, to adapt to different working conditions, the driving force and speed of the vehicle need to vary within a certain range. However, the existing engine's torque and speed variation range cannot meet this requirement, hence the transmission is installed. It changes the gear ratio between the engine and the wheels, allowing the engine to operate under optimal conditions, expanding the torque and speed transmitted to the driving wheels, and achieving different speeds. It enables the vehicle to reverse and provides a neutral position.

What causes the dome light in a GL8 to stay on?
