Reasons for abnormal noises from tires: 1. If there is a rhythmic "clicking" sound that speeds up with the vehicle's speed: This is likely due to foreign objects on the tire, such as stones or nails. You can stop and check after parking. 2. If there is intermittent "clucking" or knocking sounds when turning, going over bumps, or driving on rough roads: This may indicate a problem with the outer CV joint of the left front axle, a damaged shock absorber, or worn ball joints and bushings in the chassis suspension. It is advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. If there is a noticeable humming sound while driving that gets louder with speed: The most likely cause is a faulty left front wheel hub bearing.

What is the Toyota Aqua called in China?

Toyota Aqua is called Prius in China. The following is an introduction to the Prius: 1. Vehicle Overview: The Toyota Prius, launched by Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan in 1997, was the world's first mass-produced hybrid vehicle model. It was subsequently sold to more than 40 countries and regions worldwide in 2001, with its largest markets being Japan and North America. 2. Design Philosophy: Before the energy crisis and environmental issues became prominent, TOYOTA foresightedly incorporated hybrid technology development into its long-term plans. After over 40 years of dedicated effort, the Prius was the first to perfectly execute avant-garde design concepts with future-oriented craftsmanship, and it also led the era by incorporating a series of highly intelligent technologies.

Why is there a strange noise when shifting into P gear?

Shifting into P gear with a strange noise is the sound of gear engagement, which is a normal phenomenon. Here are some introductions about P gear: 1. The "P" in P gear comes from the first letter of the English word Park, so in the gear positions of automatic transmission cars, P gear is the identifier for the parking gear. 2. P gear is a gear evolved from N gear. In addition to putting the transmission into neutral mode, it also has a pawl inside the transmission that locks the gear on the output shaft to form a mechanical lock, thereby securing the drive axle to fix the vehicle in a stationary or slightly moving state.

What are the symptoms of a damaged steering tie rod ball joint in a car?

Balance rod ball joint damage can cause noise when driving on rough roads, but no abnormal sounds will occur when driving on paved roads. The related introduction of the balance rod is as follows: Balance rod suppresses body roll: When the left and right wheels of a car pass over different road bumps or potholes, anti-roll resistance (Roll-Resistance) is generated, suppressing body roll. Balance rod classification: Front lower control arm balance rod (original equipment required part), toe-in balance rod (original equipment required part), front shock tower top balance rod (commonly known as "top bar" in Hong Kong and Macau, optional part), front crossmember balance rod (commonly known as "front lower bar", optional part), etc.

What is the difference between dual exhaust pipes and single exhaust pipes?

There is essentially no difference between dual exhaust pipes and single exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipe's sole purpose is to expel combustion waste gases and reduce noise. Installing dual exhaust pipes is primarily for aesthetic appeal and a more imposing appearance. The exhaust pipes of SUVs, coupes, and off-road vehicles are largely similar, differing only in quantity—some have one pipe, while others have two. Additionally, the layout of the exhaust pipes varies; some adopt a single-side dual-exit configuration, while others feature a dual-side dual-exit setup. The function of the exhaust pipe is to discharge the waste gases produced by the engine. Moreover, exhaust pipes are often designed in various shapes mainly to reduce exhaust noise and improve exhaust efficiency. Generally, high-displacement vehicles tend to have more than two exhaust pipes, as this design enhances the engine's exhaust efficiency.

How Often Should Shock Absorber Top Mounts Be Replaced?

Shock absorber top mounts do not have a fixed replacement interval. Relevant information is as follows: 1. When the vehicle produces particularly loud noises when passing over bumpy roads, along with symptoms such as directional deviation or creaking sounds during stationary steering, the shock absorber top mounts should be replaced. Otherwise, it will affect both the driving experience and safety. 2. If the shock absorber top mounts and buffer rubber lose their elasticity and softness due to aging, or even become damaged, the force from the suspension's up-and-down movement will be directly transmitted to the metal structure of the vehicle body, causing noticeable impact noises. Especially when driving on uneven roads, the suspension components may produce clanking metal impact sounds. Severe damage can also shorten the lifespan of the shock absorbers.

What is the purpose of a PM2.5 filtration device?

Its function is to filter PM2.5 particulate matter from the air. Here is some information about PM2.5 filtration devices: 1. Some automakers install PM2.5 filtration devices in vehicles, which come in two types: built-in and external. The built-in type is integrated into the car's air conditioning system, while the external type is integrated into the front center armrest. 2. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter in the atmosphere with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less (2.5 micrometers is less than 1/20th the thickness of a human hair). These particles can be inhaled into the lungs and pose significant health risks, especially to sensitive individuals. The PM2.5 filtration device serves to filter these particles from the air.
