High-speed body shaking can be caused by: 1. Poor fuel quality; 2. Carbon buildup in engine valves and intake pipes; 3. Poor lubrication or damage to spark plugs; 4. Insufficient engine power; 5. Aging rubber components in engine mounts and transmission mounts; 6. Aging or leaking high-voltage wires. Solutions for high-speed body shaking include: 1. Choosing high-quality gasoline; 2. Cleaning engine carbon deposits; 3. Lubricating spark plugs; 4. Inspecting components or mount rubber for aging; 5. Checking high-voltage wires and ignition coil operation; 6. Inspecting the electrical system for faults.

I've been in the auto repair business for over twenty years, and high-speed body vibrations are all too common. The most frequent issue is tire dynamic imbalance - when the wheel's weight distribution is uneven during rotation, it starts shaking noticeably once speeds exceed 80 km/h. Next is wheel rim deformation, often caused by hitting potholes, with aluminum rims being particularly prone to this. Suspension system problems can also cause vibrations, like when the lower control arm bushings age and crack, throwing off the wheel alignment. Driveshaft imbalance is another culprit, especially noticeable in rear-wheel-drive vehicles at highway speeds. Warped brake rotors aren't uncommon either, making the shaking worse when braking. Excessive clearance from worn wheel bearings can generate vibrations too. My advice: start with tire balancing if you notice vibrations. If that doesn't solve it, conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain systems - never compromise on driving safety.

I've been driving long-haul trucks for over a decade and often encounter highway vibration issues. Once on the highway, my truck was shaking like a sieve, and inspection revealed it was caused by severe and uneven tire wear. Later, I also encountered slightly deformed wheel rims due to not slowing down when going over speed bumps. The most dangerous incident was when the suspension ball joints became loose - at high speeds, the entire cab was shaking. Another time when hauling heavy cargo, the severely worn universal joint on the driveshaft caused vibrations that made the cabin floor tremble. Out-of-round tires and uneven brake rotors are also common causes. Now I've developed the habit of always checking tire pressure and brake rotors before departure, and getting a wheel alignment every three months. I recommend everyone not wait until something goes wrong before maintenance - these small issues can accumulate and lead to major problems.

As a car modification enthusiast, I've found that high-speed vibrations mostly stem from wheel system issues. Improper tire balancing is the most common culprit – missing lead weights or failing to rebalance after a tire repair can cause vibrations at specific speeds. Tire deformation or bulges are more dangerous, ranging from minor shakes to potential blowouts. Wheel rim distortion is frequent in the modification scene, especially after installing lightweight rims which are more prone to deformation when hitting potholes. Suspension system failures like leaking or ineffective shock absorbers significantly reduce vehicle stability. Excessive four-wheel alignment parameter deviations accelerate uneven tire wear and cause vibrations. Brake disc heat warping is most noticeable on mountain roads. My advice: post-modification wheel balancing is mandatory, and regular tire inspections are more crucial than horsepower upgrades.

Are New Energy Vehicles Subject to Traffic Restrictions?

New energy vehicles are not subject to traffic restrictions, but it is necessary to check local regulations as the situation may vary depending on the region. For example, some cities only exempt pure electric vehicles from traffic restrictions, while other types of new energy vehicles are still subject to restrictions. In other words, range-extended electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are still subject to traffic restrictions. If the second letter of the license plate is F, it indicates a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, which is classified as a non-pure electric vehicle and falls within the scope of restricted vehicles. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices) and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

What Items Are Included in the First Maintenance of a New Car?

The first maintenance of a new car includes a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle's lighting, tires, chassis, various fluid levels in the engine compartment, and the onboard computer system. It also involves checking the car's chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches or damage. One of the most important and critical steps is changing the engine oil and oil filter. A few vehicles may also require replacing transmission fluid and differential fluid during the first maintenance. The specific requirements should be based on the vehicle's maintenance manual or by consulting the brand's 4S dealership. Regular maintenance and servicing are crucial throughout the vehicle's lifecycle, as timely maintenance can significantly extend the overall lifespan of the car.
