There are several reasons why a car makes a thud sound when starting to move: 1. Failure of the half-shaft or CV joint components; faults in the chassis suspension components, such as lack of lubrication, wear, or deformation. 2. Malfunction in the chassis steering mechanism components, such as tie rods, upper and lower control arms, ball joints; issues with the front or rear wheel bearings, caused by wear, lack of lubrication, or burning out. 3. Tire deformation or irregular wear due to wear or inherent quality defects; problems with the front or rear axle (differential) due to lack of lubrication, component damage, or quality defects. 4. Issues with the shock absorber part, such as the thrust bearing (or top mount); problems with the front or rear brake pads, such as excessive wear, use beyond the service life, or quality defects.

Where are the A-pillars and B-pillars of a car located?

The A-pillars of a car refer to the vertical pillars on either side of the front windshield, while the B-pillars are the vertical pillars located between the front and rear doors, connecting the car's roof and chassis. In addition to the A-pillars and B-pillars, cars also have C-pillars, which connect the roof to the body. The C-pillars can also absorb some of the impact force during a collision, ensuring the safety of rear-seat passengers. When a collision occurs at the front of the car, the first part to absorb the impact is the crumple zone of the front longitudinal beams. The resulting impact force is then transmitted to the A-pillars, which bear the brunt of the force. Therefore, in car crash tests, whether the A-pillars deform is a crucial indicator.

What Are the Reasons for Slight Vibration During Car Idling?

Reasons for slight vibration during car idling: 1. The engine mounts, which are the shock absorption system of the engine, are primarily responsible for absorbing minor vibrations caused by engine operation. When the engine mounts age, it can lead to vibrations during idling; 2. Ignition system failure, such as spark plug misfiring, can cause the car to vibrate at idle. It is advisable to promptly visit a 4S shop or repair shop for maintenance; 3. A dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup on the fuel injectors can also cause the car to vibrate at idle. Cleaning the fuel system is necessary, and it is recommended to use higher-quality fuel or add fuel system cleaner during regular refueling.

Where to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring on the Lynk & Co 01?

The tire pressure monitoring on the Lynk & Co 01 can be displayed on the instrument panel. However, the Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a passive tire pressure monitoring system, which only alerts when the tire pressure is too high or too low and does not display real-time tire pressure data. The calibration for the tire pressure monitoring is done through the central multimedia screen. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Tire pressure monitoring generally uses wheel speed sensors. When the rotation speeds of the four wheels reach a certain difference, the system will assume that the tire pressure of a certain tire is abnormal, and the tire pressure monitoring warning light on the dashboard will illuminate to alert the driver. 2. The passive tire pressure monitoring system relies on the wheel speed sensors of the car's ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to compare the rotation speed differences between the tires, thereby achieving the purpose of monitoring tire pressure. ABS uses wheel speed sensors to determine whether the wheels are locked and decides whether to activate the anti-lock braking system. When the tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight will cause the tire diameter to shrink, resulting in a change in speed. This speed change triggers the WSB alarm system, alerting the owner to insufficient tire pressure. 3. The standard tire pressure for the Lynk & Co 01 varies by rim size. For 17-inch rims, the standard tire pressure ranges between 2.2bar and 2.7bar, while for 18-inch and 19-inch rims, the standard tire pressure ranges between 2.3bar and 2.8bar.
