Possible causes include detachment of the shock absorber connecting pin (rod) or wear and tear/rupture of the rubber bushing (cushion). Automobile Suspension: Suspension refers to the collective term for all force-transmitting connecting devices between the vehicle frame and the axle or wheels. A typical MacPherson suspension structure consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, and in some cases, additional components like buffer blocks and anti-roll bars. Rigid Axle Suspension: The structural characteristic of rigid axle suspension is that both wheels are connected by an integrated axle, with the wheels and axle together suspended under the vehicle frame or body via elastic suspension. Rigid axle suspension offers advantages such as simple structure, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance, and minimal changes in front wheel alignment during driving. However, due to its poor comfort and handling stability, it is rarely used in modern passenger cars and is more commonly found in trucks and buses.

I've encountered this issue with my own car before—the left and right rear wheels were at different heights, making the car feel noticeably tilted to one side while driving. The main cause was likely problems with the springs or shock absorbers. For example, long-term uneven loading or driving on bumpy roads can cause springs to fatigue and deform or shock absorbers to leak oil, leading to one side sagging while the other remains higher. If left unrepaired, this can accelerate tire wear, make the car unstable during high-speed turns, and increase the risk of rolling over. Back then, I took it to a repair shop, and they found that the left rear spring was completely broken. After replacing it, the height was restored to balance. Nowadays, I regularly check the car's stance when parked to prevent small issues from turning into big problems—safety always comes first. I recommend not delaying repairs if you notice this issue; get it checked and fixed as soon as possible.

The related situations are introduced as follows: 1. No fuel: When the car's fuel gauge shows below the red line, the vehicle will definitely not start. 2.

Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, DVD players, etc. can also cause vehicle circuit failures. Checking for a dead battery is simple—press the horn to see if the battery has power. 3. Incorrect gear position: When starting an automatic transmission vehicle, the gear must be in the P or N position. If it is in the R or D position, the vehicle won't start.

What is the Horizon motorcycle?

Horizon motorcycles refer to small domestic factories assembling motorcycles that imitate the appearance of sports bikes. When purchasing a motorcycle, the following aspects should be noted: 1. After-sales service: When choosing a motorcycle, the first thing to consider is the after-sales service, as every motorcycle is used for a relatively long time, and good after-sales service is essential. The brand selection is a crucial aspect to pay attention to when choosing a motorcycle. 2. Brand issue: There are many types of motorcycle brands, and it is recommended not to choose overly large brands, as the more famous the brand, the higher the price, especially since some additional advertising costs are entirely passed on to consumers. Therefore, we must be very careful about this point. 3. Product performance: There are many aspects to consider when selecting a motorcycle, but the most important is the starting performance. It is advisable to choose a motorcycle with good cold-start performance. Generally, electric start models that ignite easily with the choke closed are the most convenient and our primary choice.
