The main symptoms of a damaged lower control arm include: 1. Reduced handling and comfort. 2. Decreased safety performance. 3. Abnormal noises from the vehicle. 4. Inaccurate alignment parameters. 5. The car tends to veer off course while driving. 6. Abnormal wear or damage to other components. 7. Affected or even failed steering. Below is more information about the lower control arm of a car: 1. The lower control arm is one of the suspension arms in a car's suspension system. Suspension systems that typically have a lower control arm are independent suspensions. Its main function is positioning, which determines the positional relationship between the wheel and the car body. 2. If the lower control arm is damaged, the wheel will detach from the car body. 3. If it is only bent or deformed, the positioning relationship between the wheel and the car body will be disrupted, causing all four-wheel alignment parameters to fail, leading to the vehicle veering off course or even the wheel rubbing against the chassis. 4. If the rubber bushing of the lower control arm ages or fails, it will cause metal collision noises when the lower control arm moves.

Differences Between Emergency Parking Lane and Bus Bay

Bus bays and emergency parking lanes differ in the following aspects: 1. Different definitions: A bus bay refers to a public transport stop that partially widens the roadway on the outer side of the traffic lane. An emergency parking lane is the outermost lane on a highway, designated for vehicles to park in case of emergencies. 2. Different purposes: The emergency parking lane is used for short-term repairs when a vehicle encounters minor issues during travel. For major issues that cannot be repaired quickly, rescue vehicles should be notified to tow the vehicle to a repair shop. The bus bay, inspired by the model of ships docking at harbors, features each stop platform curving inward toward the slow lane. The biggest advantage of this parking method is that buses stopping at the station do not affect the straight movement of other vehicles, reducing the impact of bus arrivals and departures on main road traffic.
