Symptoms of a broken shock absorber: 1. Shock absorber oil leakage. Normally, the outer surface of the shock absorber is dry and clean. If there is oil leakage, it indicates that the hydraulic oil inside the shock absorber is flowing out from the upper part of the piston rod, which means the shock absorber is basically ineffective. 2. The car jumps during driving, and abnormal noises occur when braking. 3. When the car turns, there is a noticeable increase in body roll, and in severe cases, even skidding may occur. This is mainly because the shock absorber resistance is too small to effectively suppress spring compression. 4. When the car is stationary, press down one corner of the body and then release it. The body will rebound under the spring force. If it takes several oscillations to stop, it indicates that the damping effect of the shock absorber has been reduced.

Which mode in Elantra is fuel-efficient?

Elantra's Eco mode is fuel-efficient, suitable for urban road driving, also known as fuel-saving mode. Below is the relevant introduction: The working principle of Elantra's Eco mode is to reduce fuel consumption by lowering the engine's output power, thereby improving fuel economy. This mode limits power output, resulting in insufficient power during uphill climbs, uneven road conditions, and acceleration. Prolonged use may lead to engine carbon buildup, increasing future fuel consumption, so it is not recommended to keep it on for extended periods. Other modes of Elantra: Standard mode, which prioritizes driving comfort as the primary condition. The characteristic of this mode is that once activated, it offers excellent stability, with the engine and transmission operating in optimal conditions. Sport mode, the feature of this mode is intelligence. It automatically switches to the appropriate mode based on road conditions, speed, and driving habits, optimizing fuel consumption.

What does the 'R' on tires mean?

The 'R' on tires refers to radial tires. Based on their structure, car tires can be divided into radial tires and bias tires. In radial tires, the layers of the carcass cords are arranged parallel to each other in a radial pattern, forming a 90-degree angle with the circumferential line of the tire crown. Bias tires, on the other hand, have carcass cord layers arranged in a crisscross pattern, forming a mesh, and they make a 35 to 45-degree angle with the circumferential line of the tire crown. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance.
