When a car makes a "rumbling" noise during continuous bumps, it is highly likely due to the lower control arm ball joint. The grease inside the lower control arm ball joint may dry out, leading to internal wear and the creation of gaps, which ultimately results in driving noise. Below is more information about the functions of the lower control arm ball joint:1. Buffering and vibration damping. 2. Transmitting torque. 3. Maintaining vehicle stability, improving comfort and safety performance. 4. Guiding role. It works with the suspension system to adjust camber and toe-in, allowing the vehicle to achieve certain steering angles. 5. Enhancing tire grip for better handling, providing the driver with a superior control experience. 6. Bearing and transmitting loads from various directions, mitigating impacts or changes in vehicle position caused by braking, road conditions (uneven surfaces), acceleration, or steering.

What Are the Basic Methods of Automotive Diagnosis?

Basic methods of automotive fault diagnosis: Inquire with the user about the time, symptoms, and circumstances when the fault occurred, the possible causes, and whether any repairs or disassembly have been performed. Initially determine the scope and location of the fault. Retrieve the fault code and identify the content of the fault. Based on the fault range indicated by the fault code, conduct repairs, paying special attention to whether connectors are loose or detached and whether wire connections are correct. After completing the repairs, verify whether the fault has indeed been resolved. If the fault code cannot be retrieved or if the fault content cannot be identified after retrieval, roughly determine the fault range based on the symptoms and use a method of checking the working performance of each component one by one to eliminate the fault. Currently, there are basically two diagnostic methods for automotive faults: one is the manual intuitive experience diagnostic method, and the other is the instrument and equipment diagnostic method. The instrument and equipment diagnostic method involves obtaining performance and fault information parameters of the vehicle without disassembling the assembly, comparing them with the technical condition of a normal vehicle, and providing conclusions on technical performance and faults. With the application of electronic information and computer technology in automobiles, diagnostic instruments and equipment for automotive faults are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and more advanced instruments are being used in automotive fault diagnosis. Instruments and equipment enable fast and highly accurate fault diagnosis, can detect latent faults, and can also predict the service life of assembly components.

What are the requirements for a Tesla test drive?

There are no special requirements; a driver's license is sufficient. Below is relevant information about the Model 3: 1. Introduction to the Model 3: The Tesla Model 3 is a new product in the Tesla Model X series, officially released in the United States on April 1, 2016, at 11:30 AM Beijing time. 2. Features: The Model 3 does not use an aluminum body, so the body size will be reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on range. The Model 3 is expected to have a range of approximately 320 kilometers. It eliminates the ultra-cool but impractical falcon-wing doors and the 3-second 0 to 60 mph acceleration, and may also remove the autopilot feature.

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the 12th-generation Crown?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the 12th-generation Crown are as follows: Affected by temperature: This leads to fluctuations in fuel consumption. In winter, when temperatures are low, fuel consumption tends to increase. Vehicle not maintained for a long time: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil causes poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, requiring more energy to overcome the resistance, thus raising fuel consumption. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, increasing friction and thus driving resistance, which leads to higher fuel consumption. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon buildup can occur in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in increased fuel consumption.
