Corolla front wheels making a clunking noise when going over bumps may be due to damaged shock absorber plane bearings or aging buffer rubber on the front wheel shock absorbers. Additional details are as follows: 1. Replacing the Rubber: The connection points between the shock absorbers and the car body are cushioned with rubber. Over time, rubber components can harden and age; when this hardened rubber is compressed, it produces a clunking sound. In such cases, simply replacing the aged rubber on the shock absorbers can resolve the issue. 2. Replacing the Shock Absorbers: Apart from the aforementioned aging buffer rubber, damaged shock absorbers can also cause abnormal noises when the car drives over uneven roads. Although shock absorbers have a relatively long lifespan, they are still considered a wear-and-tear component on a vehicle. If the driving environment is harsh or the car is frequently driven aggressively, damage or oil leakage may occur. If the shock absorbers are damaged or leaking, they should be replaced. It is best to use original manufacturer parts for replacement, as their quality is more reliable.

Can the C1 and E licenses be taken together?

C1 and E licenses cannot be taken together. You must wait at least one year after obtaining a C1 driver's license before applying for an E license. Age requirements for C1 driver's license: The minimum age for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. However, applicants over 70 years old must pass tests for memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. Vehicle types permitted with C1 license: The C1 driver's license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, as well as light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles. Small passenger vehicles must have a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. Vehicles not permitted with C1 license: The C1 license does not permit driving large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, or trams. Additionally, the C1 license does not allow driving vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks with a total length exceeding 6 meters.

What are the test contents for D license subjects 2 and 3?

Subject 2 is conducted on a closed course and tests skills such as slalom, designated stop and start, and single-plank bridge. Subject 3 is the road test. Below are specific details about the D license: Age: Applicants for a light motorcycle license must be between 18 and 70 years old. Applicants for a regular three-wheeled motorcycle or regular two-wheeled motorcycle license must be between 18 and 60 years old. First-time application: First-time applicants or those applying to add a motorcycle license should go to the local traffic police department in their registered residence area. They must submit their identity proof and a health condition certificate issued by a county-level or military medical institution at or above the regiment level. Those applying to add a motorcycle license must also submit their current motor vehicle driving license.

What is the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Duke 390?

Duke 390's 0-100km/h acceleration time is 5.14 seconds. Here are some extended details: Slip Mode: The front features a split-type LED headlight design, and the fuel tank capacity has been increased to 13.4L, providing 100km more range than the previous model. The brake discs have also been upgraded to larger ones, and the ABS system is highly effective. This ABS system also includes a Supermoto slip mode, which essentially allows only the rear wheel's ABS to be turned off, making it easier for the bike to drift. Configuration: There are also fresh updates in terms of configuration. For example, the new Duke 390 comes with a full-color TFT LCD instrument panel, full LED lighting, electronic throttle, and a slipper clutch. The KTM Duke 390's instrument panel can also connect to a mobile phone via Bluetooth for answering calls, skipping tracks, and more.

Can You Directly Add 95 Gasoline Before Using Up 98 Gasoline?

It is possible to add 95 gasoline before completely using up 98 gasoline. Occasionally mixing them is fine, but it is not recommended to do so frequently. If the car owner intends to switch gasoline grades, it is best to wait until the fuel gauge light comes on before refilling, or to extract the remaining gasoline and then switch to another grade, rather than mixing them directly. Different grades of gasoline have different octane levels. The higher the grade, the higher the octane level, and the better the anti-knock performance. Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. When the piston is in the compression stroke, it moves upward to compress the combustible mixture, causing the temperature and pressure of the mixture to rise. If the gasoline's anti-knock performance is poor, the combustible mixture may ignite before the spark plug fires, leading to knocking. The burning mixture pushes the piston downward while the piston is still moving upward, resulting in reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and potential engine damage. The gasoline grade represents its anti-knock performance. The higher the grade, the higher the octane level and the better the anti-knock performance. 95 gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 98 gasoline contains 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. Anti-knock performance refers to the gasoline's ability to resist knocking during combustion in the engine. It is the primary indicator of gasoline's combustion efficiency. Knocking occurs due to abnormal combustion in the engine. The octane level is the measure of gasoline's anti-knock performance; the higher the octane, the stronger the anti-knock capability. Higher compression ratios and combustion chamber pressures require gasoline with better anti-knock performance to prevent knocking. Occasionally using the wrong gasoline grade is not a problem as long as you switch back to the correct grade afterward. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower grades, using a higher grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane level may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher grades, using a lower grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane level lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the mixture ignites before the spark plug fires, it creates resistance during the upward stroke, making the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without noticeable engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

Comparison Between TPR Wheels and Rubber Wheels

TPR tires are tire products that do not require high wear resistance or strength, whereas rubber tires used in vehicles demand high load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Below is additional information: TPR tires: Primarily used for casters, cart wheels, and toy tires, these products do not require high load-bearing capacity or wear resistance. They are typically made of pure TPR material or a composite of TPR with other materials like PP or ABS through injection molding. Rubber tires: Usually vulcanized rubber tires, these are used for various vehicle tires. Due to the high requirements for load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and mechanical strength in vehicles, the material quality of rubber tires is crucial. Therefore, in addition to vulcanization, materials like steel wires and nylon fabric are incorporated into rubber tire products to enhance impact resistance and anti-burst performance.
