The border at the lower part of a car door is the bottom of the car, which is part of the body frame and serves to protect passengers in the event of a side collision. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Basic Introduction: A car's body is divided into cover panels and the frame. Cover panels include doors, front and rear bumpers, the engine hood, front fenders, and the trunk lid. After removing all cover panels, what remains is the body frame. 2. Body Protection: In the event of an accident, it is not the cover panels but the body frame that protects the passengers. The rocker panel (or 'bottom sill') is part of the body frame and, along with the B-pillar, absorbs most of the impact force in a side collision. During regular use, the rocker panel is also prone to scratches. If driving on rough roads, it is very easy for the rocker panel to get scratched by stones. Due to its hardness, dents caused by scratches are difficult to repair. Therefore, drivers should pay attention to protecting the bottom of the car during daily use. 3. Repair Methods: If the rocker panel has been repaired, it must be coated with anti-chip or textured coating; otherwise, it is highly susceptible to rust. The rocker panel is usually coated with a layer of textured coating at the factory, which protects it and prevents rust.

How to Determine if the Generator is Broken?

Methods to determine if the generator is broken: 1. The charging indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, and the battery power will deplete quickly; 2. The generator may produce abnormal noises or emit a burnt smell when running; 3. After starting the generator for a few minutes and then turning it off, touch the generator. If it is very hot, it may indicate a short circuit, requiring replacement. The car generator is the main power source of the vehicle, functioning to supply power to all electrical devices (except the starter) and charge the battery when the engine is running normally (above idle speed). Based on the three-phase stator winding of a standard AC generator, additional winding turns and lead-out terminals are added, along with an extra set of three-phase bridge rectifiers. At low speeds, the output is from the original and additional windings in series, while at higher speeds, only the original three-phase winding provides the output.

What Causes Severe Shaking and Jerking When Starting in First Gear?

Severe shaking and jerking when starting in first gear is usually caused by uneven or deformed clutch plates, or improper clutch adjustment. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Issues: Problems with the universal joint bearing or clutch pressure plate contact. Excessive carbon buildup in the engine combustion chamber, leading to incomplete combustion and affected power output. Loose engine mounting bolts, etc. Excluding personal driving habits, shaking during first-gear starts is generally due to excessive wear of the clutch pressure plate. 2. Manual Transmission: Manual transmissions primarily transfer power through the clutch, with the clutch pressure plate responsible for transmitting kinetic energy. The clutch pressure plate has a limited lifespan. Prolonged semi-engagement or the engine operating under excessive load can accelerate wear. When the clutch pressure plate wears to a certain extent, power engagement becomes less smooth, causing the car to shake and the engine speed to become unstable.
