Balance bar ball joint damage can cause noise when driving on rough roads, but no abnormal sounds will occur when driving on paved roads. The relevant introduction of the balance bar is as follows: Balance bar suppresses body roll: When the left and right wheels of a car pass through different road bumps or potholes, it generates roll resistance to suppress body roll. Balance bar classification: Front lower control arm balance bar (original equipment necessary part), toe balance bar (original equipment necessary part), front shock absorber tower top balance bar (commonly known as "top bar" in Hong Kong and Macau, optional part), front bottom cross member balance bar (commonly known as "front bottom bar", optional part), etc.

At what temperature does the Corolla electric fan turn on?

The Corolla electric fan turns on at around 95 degrees Celsius. The working principle of the electric fan is that it is controlled by a thermostat. When the water temperature rises to the upper limit, the thermostat connects the power supply, and the fan starts working. When the water temperature drops to the lower limit, the thermostat cuts off the power supply, and the fan stops working. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, it is a compact car with a body size of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1335kg. The 2021 Corolla is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum torque of 185Nm, and is paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.

How to Monitor the Condition of a Car Battery

Methods to monitor the condition of a car battery are: 1. Inspect the exterior for any deformation, leakage, or burn marks, and check for oxide seepage at screw connections; 2. Conduct a load test—if the battery shows no external abnormalities but discharges significantly faster than normal under a certain load, and fails to restore normal backup time after charging, it indicates battery aging; 3. Measure the terminal voltage of each battery in the battery pack—if one or more batteries show terminal voltages significantly higher or lower than the nominal voltage, it suggests battery aging; 4. Check the charging voltage of each battery in the battery pack—if one or more batteries have charging voltages higher or lower than others, it confirms battery aging.
