The reason the front wheels make a clunking noise when going over bumps is due to either a damaged damper plane bearing or aging buffer rubber on the front wheel shock absorbers. The connection points between the shock absorbers and the vehicle body are cushioned with rubber, which can harden and age over time. When this hardened rubber is compressed, it produces a clunking sound. To resolve this issue, simply replace the aged rubber on the shock absorbers. Additionally, there are two other possible causes: 1. Suspension arm ball joint: If the lower suspension arm ball joint is loose or has excessive play, it can cause abnormal noises when the car goes over bumps; 2. Aging plastic components: Worn or loose stabilizer bar bushings with excessive play.

What is the model number of the original spark plug for the Lavida 1.6L?

The original spark plug for the Lavida 1.6L is from the BOSCH brand, with the model number F7HER-2. Depending on the vehicle model and production batch, the specific model number of the spark plug used may vary slightly. The spark plug is a crucial component of the gasoline engine's ignition system. It introduces high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, causing it to jump across the electrode gap and create a spark, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. It mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. Spark plug replacement cycle: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Does a transferred vehicle need to be insured as a new car?

No, it does not need to be insured as a new car; simply transfer the insurance. Insurance transfer: For used cars, not only does the vehicle need to be transferred, but the insurance also needs to be transferred. Insurance transfer is a crucial step in buying and selling used cars. There are two ways to handle the insurance policy: First, change the policy holder. After completing the vehicle transfer procedures, the new owner can bring the transfer receipt, a copy of the vehicle license, the original insurance policy, the new owner's ID card, and the original insurer's ID card to the insurance company to fill out a transfer application form to complete the insurance transfer. Second, apply for a policy cancellation. The owner will need to pay the premium from the start of the policy to the cancellation date, and the insurance company will refund the remaining amount. After cancellation, the new owner can choose a new insurance company to re-insure the vehicle. Important notes: In used car transactions, if only the vehicle is transferred but the insurance is not, and an accident occurs after the transaction, the owner may be denied compensation when filing a claim with the insurance company.
