There are several main reasons why a car makes abnormal noises when going over bumpy roads: 1. Rhythmic noise, which may be caused by friction between the brake pads and the brake disc due to too small a gap. 2. Continuous noise, which may indicate a damaged bearing. 3. Continuous noise, which may suggest an issue with the drive shaft. Below is an introduction to other aspects: Noise from the door hinges. After prolonged use, the friction of the hinges can significantly increase, leading to abnormal noises. What we need to do is apply lubricating grease, such as Hotolube's door hinge grease, which is the lubricant used in 4S maintenance. This will greatly reduce friction and eliminate the door noise. The maintenance cycle is three to four months.

Can I still renew my driver's license if it has been expired for one month?

Yes! Generally, the renewal procedure for a driver's license should be completed within 3 months before its expiration date. If the driver's license is not renewed after its expiration, it will be considered invalid. In case of a traffic accident, the insurance company will not provide compensation. If the expiration period is less than one year, the renewal can be processed normally. If the license has been expired for more than one year but less than three years without renewal, the driver must take a written test at the DMV. Upon passing the test, normal renewal procedures can be resumed. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years without renewal, the DMV will cancel the license.

How to Drive a Motor Vehicle on Mountain Roads?

Driving a motor vehicle on mountain roads requires the following techniques: 1. Uphill Driving. When driving uphill, maintain sufficient engine power to ensure the vehicle climbs smoothly; constantly monitor the coolant temperature gauge to prevent engine overheating. For prolonged climbs, the driver should remain patient and cautious, keeping the engine at adequate power for steady operation. If the coolant boils, choose a suitable location to take a brief rest, replenish the coolant, inspect the vehicle, and resume driving once the temperature drops. 2. Downhill Driving. Before descending, thoroughly check the braking and steering systems to ensure they are in good technical condition.

What is a reasonable starting RPM?

Starting RPM around 800 to 1000 is reasonable. A slightly higher starting RPM is normal, with most family cars typically starting between 1000 to 1500 RPM, though this may vary by vehicle model. However, during cold starts, the RPM should not be too high as the lubricating oil cannot reach the upper parts of the engine. To minimize wear, keeping it below 2000 RPM is advisable. Many manufacturers set a higher starting RPM to ensure sufficient power for the vehicle after shifting gears. RPM constantly reflects the engine's working condition. If the RPM is too low, fuel combustion in the cylinders may be incomplete, leading to carbon buildup in the engine, which can cause significant damage over time. Conversely, if the RPM is too high, it can also result in increased engine wear.
