The reasons why the front wheels of a Corolla make a clunking sound when going over bumps are: 1. Failure of the bearing on the car's shock absorber plane; 2. Failure of the swing arm ball joint, with the lower swing arm ball joint becoming loose and having excessive clearance; 3. Aging of the front wheel shock absorber's buffer rubber; 4. Aging of plastic components, with the stabilizer bar rubber bushing becoming loose and having excessive clearance. Taking the Corolla Hybrid 2020 1.8L E-CVT Comfort Edition as an example: It is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under FAW Toyota, with a length, width, and height of 4635mm, 1775mm, and 1470mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a maximum engine torque of 142 Nm.

Power: The Lynk & Co 01 comes standard with a 2.0T low-power engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 190 hp, paired with an Aisin 6AT transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission developed by Volvo, offering a driving experience focused on smoothness. 2. Space performance: The car's body length exceeds 4.5 meters, and the wheelbase is over 2.7 meters, giving it a significant advantage in space compared to many mainstream domestic compact SUVs.

What to Do When the Plastic Underbody Shield of a Car is Damaged?

If the plastic underbody shield of a car is damaged, it should be promptly replaced or repaired.

If the shield is damaged, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop for repair or replacement. The original underbody shields are typically made of plastic or resin, effectively safeguarding the engine and the safety of occupants in the cabin.
