There are several main reasons for shock absorber oil leakage in cars: Cleanliness issues: Poor internal cleanliness of the shock absorber, with welding slag, iron filings, and other debris causing oil seal wear. Working conditions: Harsh working conditions of the shock absorber, with external mud, sand, and other debris entering the oil seal, leading to wear and oil leakage. Seal aging: The sealing lip of the shock absorber oil seal ages and loses its sealing function. Rod seal: The rod that controls piston movement needs to extend from one end of the metal tube, so this part requires strict sealing. Generally, oil leakage is directly related to poor sealing in this area.

Is lane changing allowed when both dashed and solid lines appear?

When encountering a road section with one solid line and one dashed line, the side with the solid line is not allowed to cross the line or overtake, while the dashed line side permits lane changing and overtaking. The main purpose of this marking is to facilitate vehicle diversion, alleviate traffic congestion as much as possible, and avoid large-scale accidents. Below is the relevant content introduction: Consequences of driving over solid lines: If a vehicle crosses a solid line at a traffic light intersection, the driver's license will be penalized with points deducted and a fine. Drivers must be cautious when driving on roads—crossing any solid line is prohibited, especially at traffic signal intersections where crossing solid lines due to lane changing is highly likely and must be avoided. Methods of evidence collection for crossing solid lines: Evidence is primarily collected through camera captures or drone footage. Once a solid line lane change violation is detected, no rebuttal or appeal is accepted, and the driver must accept the penalty. Changing lanes over solid lines can easily cause traffic accidents. Drivers must adhere to relevant traffic rules while driving on the road to collectively create a good driving environment.

What is the reason for the jerky movement when accelerating a manual transmission car?

Manual transmission car jerky movement when accelerating is caused by a problem with the fuel injector. It is recommended to check the car's fuel injector and fuel supply system. The function of manual transmission: manually move the gear lever to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, change the transmission ratio, and achieve the purpose of shifting. The method of starting a manual transmission car is: 1. Fully depress the clutch; 2. Shift the gear to first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Press the horn to remind; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Gently lift the clutch with the left foot; 7. The vehicle starts to move, the clutch of the left foot should be held steady, no pressing or lifting operation to avoid stalling; 8. After holding steady for 3 seconds, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator with the right foot, slowly release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch to shift to 2nd gear, and then repeat this step to shift to 3rd gear, the vehicle smoothly completes the start.

How to Repair Scratches That Expose the Primer on a Car?

If the scratch on the car body has exposed the primer, it should be repaired at a scratch repair shop as soon as possible to prevent rusting and corrosion of the surrounding paint. 1. Minor scratches, polish to restore: If there are minor scratches accidentally, the brightness of the car paint can be restored by polishing. Use a polishing wheel with a polishing brightener to remove debris and oxidation layers attached to the car paint, smoothing out the fine scratches. 2. Deeper scratches, apply touch-up paint: If there are deeper scratches, first check if the metal surface is exposed. If the metal surface is not visible, rust will not occur, and you can carefully apply touch-up paint, dotting it with the tip of a brush, then wait for the paint to dry completely. 3. Deep and thin scratches, use colored putty: For very deep and long scratches, colored putty can be used for effective repair. Use sandpaper on the scratched area, being careful not to expand the scratched surface unnecessarily. It is important to clean the dirt thoroughly. Apply the putty carefully to ensure it fully penetrates, then apply a compound and wax.

How Long Does the Camry Battery Last?

The Camry battery can last for 5-6 years. The battery is an essential part of the car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. It has the advantages of not requiring any liquid addition, easy terminal connection, and long power storage time. Functions of the battery: When starting the engine, it provides a strong starting current (about 10A) to the starter; when the generator is overloaded, it can assist the generator in supplying power to the electrical equipment; when the engine is idling, it supplies power to the electrical equipment; the battery is also a large-capacity capacitor that can protect the car's electrical appliances; when the generator's terminal voltage is higher than the electromotive force of the lead battery, it converts part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage, which is charging. Car battery maintenance precautions: Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for a long time. If it is parked for an extended period, the battery should be removed and taken away to prevent it from freezing and being damaged; the car battery should be charged frequently. If the battery is not used for a long time, it will slowly discharge on its own until it is scrapped. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to charge the battery.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of drum brakes and disc brakes for motorcycles?

Motorcycle drum brakes and disc brakes have the following advantages and disadvantages: I. Disc Brakes: 1. Advantages: More stable, shorter braking distance, hence safer, high braking sensitivity, automatic gap adjustment, longer lifespan of brake pads, less effort required for braking, easier maintenance, and faster heat dissipation. 2. Disadvantages: Improper use can easily lead to lock-up, causing the bike to fall, though most now come with ABS anti-lock systems. They are more susceptible to external factors; for example, in snowy conditions, ice formation on the disc can cause temporary brake failure. Due to their tight contact, they may produce some noise and are prone to oil leaks. They also have higher costs and require more from the hydraulic system. II. Drum Brakes: 1. Advantages: Less affected by external factors, less prone to lock-up, silent operation, and lower cost. 2. Disadvantages: Braking sensitivity is not as good as disc brakes, manual gap adjustment is required, shorter lifespan of brake pads, more effort required for braking, harder to maintain, slower heat dissipation, and brake dust tends to accumulate inside the drum.
