The manifestations of aging in a car's control arm bushings are as follows: decreased handling and comfort, reduced safety performance, abnormal noises, inaccurate alignment parameters, vehicle deviation, and wear or damage to other components (such as tire wear), affecting steering and even leading to malfunctioning performance. The precautions for using car control arms are as follows: 1. Shock absorption: The function of the control arm is to absorb vibrations during driving, with shock absorbers used in conjunction to provide cushioning. 2. Materials: Control arm materials are quite diverse, including aluminum alloy, cast iron, double-layer stamped parts, and single-layer stamped parts, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Stamped parts have good toughness but insufficient strength, making them prone to fracture upon impact. 3. Rust prevention: It is generally easy to check for rust on the lower control arm, as it is located at the connection point between the front wheel tire and the car's central body. If rust is detected, it must be addressed promptly at a 4S shop to prevent unexpected breakage.

What to Do When Fogging Occurs with Heater On?

Turning on the heater can help defog the windows. Additionally, you can switch the air conditioning to external circulation mode and adjust the vents to defog mode, which will prevent the car interior from getting too cold. After the front windshield fogs up, roll down the window slightly to allow outside air to circulate inside the car, which will quickly disperse the fog. Keep a towel handy to wipe away fog when it appears. Applying a mixture of dish soap or soapy water, then rinsing with clean water and drying, can prevent fogging for a short period. Glycerin can also be used for this purpose.

What to Do If a New Car's Paint Gets Scratched?

Generally, the front bumper and fuel tank cover of a car are made of plastic with relatively thin paint. If scratches occur in these areas, you can use a touch-up pen to handle it yourself. If you opt for spray painting, it requires multiple passes. For metallic or pearl paint, the touch-up might look quite noticeable, and it's advisable to visit a 4S shop for professional spray painting. If the car's paint is red or yellow, the touch-up might be slightly more noticeable, whereas with white paint, it's usually hard to spot. If a new car gets scratched, it typically has comprehensive insurance coverage, so you can file a claim for repairs, although the process might be somewhat cumbersome.

How to Clean Fabric Seats Thoroughly?

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean all seat surfaces, removing any loose dust and debris. Identify any stained areas and regions that require additional cleaning, as well as weak spots that may show signs of damage (holes, thin fabric, etc.). Then use a stiff-bristled brush for cleaning. Areas needing extra scrubbing to remove stains and heavy soiling should be thoroughly cleaned. Wipe off any excess cleaner with a clean, white soft cloth. Place the seats in a well-ventilated area to dry.
