Tire abnormal noise can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Suspension ball joint: Loose lower suspension arm ball joint with excessive clearance can produce noise when the car bumps. 2. Aging plastic components: Loose stabilizer bar bushings with excessive clearance will also generate abnormal noise. 3. Damaged shock absorber: A faulty shock absorber can cause noise when driving on uneven roads. Although shock absorbers have a relatively long service life, they are still a wearable component. If the vehicle operates in harsh conditions or is frequently driven aggressively, damage or oil leakage may occur. Additional information: If the buffer rubber has aged, simply replace the rubber. If the shock absorber is damaged or leaking, the entire shock absorber needs to be replaced.

Having driven for over a decade, tire noise is really not uncommon. Most of the time, it's caused by small stones or nails stuck in the tread pattern, resulting in a clicking sound while driving. If the noise persists, it might be due to uneven tire wear or scratches, which can easily lead to a blowout if ignored for a long time. Once on the highway, I heard a rumbling sound from the wheel, quickly pulled over to the emergency lane, and found a screw had punctured it. I carefully removed it myself. It's recommended that car owners regularly check tire pressure and tread depth, and clean out debris. If the noise continues, it's best to visit a repair shop to check if the wheel bearings are loose or deformed to avoid problems at critical moments. Paying attention to regular maintenance can save a lot of trouble.

How to Control Speed for a Smooth One-Time Passage Through Muddy Sections?

When approaching a muddy section, stop to assess the road conditions and try to choose a flat, firm, or rutted path to pass through. Generally, use medium to low gear, hold the steering wheel steadily, maintain a constant speed by stabilizing the accelerator pedal, and aim to pass through in one go. Avoid using the service brake as much as possible to prevent the entire vehicle from sliding.

How to Turn on Car Lights at Night?

When driving at speeds below 30 km/h, use low beams. For speeds exceeding 30 km/h, switch to high beams. On roads with streetlights, low beams are sufficient. In poorly lit areas at night, use high beams whenever possible. However, when encountering oncoming vehicles, promptly switch back to low beams to avoid dazzling the other driver.

What is the oil change interval for an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The specific procedure for changing automatic transmission fluid is: 1. Lift the vehicle to drain the used oil; 2. Remove and support the last oil pan; 3. Remove the transmission filter, clean the oil pan gasket thoroughly with cotton yarn; 4. Add the manufacturer-recommended fluid. The automatic transmission, as opposed to manual transmission, is a gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on vehicle speed and engine RPM. Types of automotive automatic transmissions include: hydraulic automatic transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission, and dual-clutch transmission.
