Reasons for body shaking at high speeds: 1. Incorrect front wheel alignment angle, excessive toe-in; 2. Low front tire pressure or imbalance caused by repairs; 3. Deformed front wheel rims or incorrect number of tire bolts; 4. Loose installation of transmission system components, bent drive shaft, power imbalance, deformed front axle; 5. Failed shock absorbers, inconsistent stiffness of front leaf springs. Additional information: If vibration occurs at higher speeds and causes the steering wheel to shake, you can first lift the drive axle, secure the front wheels with safety blocks, start the engine, and gradually shift into higher gears to reach the final test vibration speed. If both the body and steering wheel shake at this point, it is vibration caused by the transmission system.

What does reduced engine power in a Chevrolet mean?

Engine power reduction is caused by carbon buildup in the engine, fuel system malfunctions, or intake system failures. Carbon buildup in the engine includes various types, such as cylinder carbon deposits, throttle valve carbon deposits, spark plug carbon deposits, and intake carbon deposits, all of which are factors affecting engine power. Precautions for using a car engine are as follows: 1. Avoid driving in neutral: The engine itself has a fuel cut-off function during deceleration, and driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation when using the vehicle: If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car dealership to eliminate potential safety hazards.

What Maintenance Should Be Done at 50,000 Kilometers?

Regular maintenance includes engine oil, oil filter, cabin air filter, engine air filter, etc., mainly depending on the clogging condition of each component. Below is relevant information: 1. Timely replacement of engine oil and filters: Generally, under normal conditions, engine oil should be changed every 5,000 km. If driving in dusty environments, it should be changed every 3,000 km. 2. Timely replacement of brake pads: The lifespan of vehicle brake pads is typically around four to five years or approximately 40,000 km. However, this varies based on the driver's habits, driving environment, and speed. Vehicles frequently driven on highways usually experience less wear since brake usage is minimized during high-speed driving, resulting in reduced brake pad wear.

Is it normal for newly replaced headlights to have condensation?

It is normal for newly replaced headlights to have condensation. Headlights generate heat during operation, and after turning them off, the interior remains relatively warm. There is a dedicated ventilation port at the back of the headlight, allowing moisture or cold air from the atmosphere to enter and form condensation. The next time you drive, turning on the headlights for about ten minutes will cause the condensation to dissipate. In general, condensation inside headlights during use is a normal phenomenon, as long as you can accurately determine whether it is normal condensation or caused by water ingress. If the condensation is due to water ingress, it is necessary to visit a repair shop for inspection and maintenance. After replacement, ensure the headlight housing is properly sealed to prevent water ingress.
