Here are the reasons for the squeaking noise from the car chassis: 1. Corrosion or aging of the stabilizer bar bushings; 2. Damaged brake pads; 3. Malfunction in the connection between the suspension and shock absorbers; 4. Noise from the wheel bearings; 5. Deformation of the shock absorber springs; 6. Aging or wear of the shock absorber pressure bearings. Additional information: The engine chassis primarily serves a load-bearing function, with the car engine and all its components and assemblies mounted on it. The car chassis is composed of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. The thickness of its sealing plastic material can reach 1.5 to 2.5 millimeters, providing protection when the underside is scraped by road protrusions.

Where is the negative terminal of the BMW 5 Series battery located?

The negative terminal of the BMW 5 Series battery is located at the negative terminal marking on the battery. The lifespan of a BMW 5 Series battery is typically 3-5 years, and with proper maintenance, it can be extended. If the battery shows signs of power loss or leakage, it should be replaced; otherwise, it may lead to the vehicle failing to start or the electrical loads losing power. BMW 5 Series battery maintenance methods: 1. Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. 2. In winter, the car engine may be harder to start. Each starting attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. 3. The car battery should be charged regularly. A battery left unused for long periods will gradually discharge on its own and may become unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to recharge the battery.

What Documents Are Needed for Annual Vehicle Inspection?

Documents required for annual inspection: Original copy of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate (duplicate); Safety technical inspection certificate (provided by the vehicle inspection station); Original vehicle license; Proof of payment of vehicle and vessel tax; Original ID card of the vehicle owner (if someone else handles it on behalf of the owner, their ID card is also required). Annual inspection procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an on-site inspection. Drive the vehicle into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. Only when all items pass can the vehicle proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number for accuracy. Then inspect the vehicle's exterior, checking details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation, interior of passenger vehicles, and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle license and certification label. If any items fail, the owner must repair them and participate in a re-inspection until they pass before completing the visa procedures. Notes for annual inspection: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the annual inspection. If the lights are too dim, check the lighting circuit and whether the bulbs are aging, replacing relevant parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to restore the original headlights before the annual inspection to pass the test.

What type of fire extinguisher is best for cars?

It is recommended to use a dry powder fire extinguisher or a water-based fire extinguisher in cars. According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity for vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers is one kilogram. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, owners can choose one between 1 to 3 kilograms. Additionally, since the storage conditions for in-car fire extinguishers are not ideal, it is best to opt for a dry powder or water-based fire extinguisher. The usage guidelines for dry powder fire extinguishers are as follows: 1. Before use, the fire extinguisher should be thoroughly shaken several times to ensure the powder inside is loosened; 2. Pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle with your hand, and aim the fire extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flame; 3. Press the handle of the fire extinguisher firmly, at which point the dry powder will be expelled from the nozzle.

Is it necessary to apply film to the car's front windshield?

Applying film to the car's front windshield is necessary. The benefits of applying film to the front windshield include: 1. Heat insulation and sun protection - the film can block the heat generated by infrared rays; 2. Safety and explosion-proof - the base layer of the film is made of polyester, which has strong tear resistance and penetration prevention functions. After applying the film, the strength of the glass can prevent injuries to the driver and passengers caused by accidental glass breakage; 3. Reduced air conditioning energy consumption - the loss of cooling capacity due to heat insulation film can be compensated, achieving a certain degree of energy savings. After applying the film, car owners should pay attention to: 1. Do not use solutions containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the surface of the film; 2. Avoid directing the air conditioning airflow directly at the film to prevent severe thermal expansion and contraction; 3. After applying the film, it takes about a month for the front and rear films to completely dry, so during the day, try to position the front of the car towards the sunlight.
