Common sounds indicating a faulty car shock absorber include knocking, friction, clicking, and squeaking. Knocking sounds may result from oil leakage in the shock absorber or loose fixing screws at the top of the shock absorber. Friction sounds could be caused by severe oil leakage or misalignment of the shock absorber spring. Clicking sounds may occur due to loose fixing screws between the shock absorber and the chassis. If the buffer block gets stuck in a certain position and lacks lubrication, it may produce squeaking noises. Owners should conduct test drives to identify the source and characteristics of the sounds, observing whether the car shakes under conditions such as uneven roads, high speeds, or strong winds.

How to replace the low beam headlight of Geely Vision X3?

Disconnect the power socket of the bulb. After opening the power socket, remove the waterproof cover behind the bulb. Take the bulb out of the reflector.

What to Do When Your Car Battery Is Dead

Check if the battery terminals are loose. Generally, car battery terminals have clips - inspect whether they're loose or corroded. If there's corrosion, it's recommended to clean it off, then try starting the engine again. First, you'll need to find another vehicle for jump-starting and properly connect the jumper cables between both cars. The red cable represents the positive terminal, while the black cable represents the negative terminal. Connect them directly to the corresponding terminals on both vehicles. After making the connections, start the rescue vehicle first, then attempt to power up and start the disabled vehicle.

Can You Appeal a Speeding Ticket?

If you have objections to the determined speeding penalty, you can file an appeal; or submit an administrative reconsideration application to the higher-level traffic authority. Appeal Method: First, confirm that your traffic violation should indeed not be penalized or exempted from punishment according to the law. Currently, traffic violations that can be revoked under traffic laws include: vehicles being cloned with fake license plates, duplicate entry of violation information, errors in traffic police's information entry, violations caused by traffic signal malfunctions, violations due to yielding to emergency vehicles, and lane-crossing behaviors caused by accidents. If the applicant's violation falls into these categories, an appeal can be filed. Before appealing, you must first go to the traffic police station to handle the violation, pay the fine, receive penalty points, and obtain the "Penalty Decision Letter" issued by the traffic police station. The fine paid here will be refunded if the appeal is successful and the violation is revoked. Obtain a "Administrative Reconsideration Application Form" from the relevant department at the traffic police station. Then, take the completed "Administrative Reconsideration Application Form," "Penalty Decision Letter," ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the local public security authority for processing. It is best to bring both the originals and copies of all documents, submitting whichever is required. If appealing on behalf of someone else, you need to present the agent's ID card and the applicant's "Power of Attorney for Agency" to the local public security authority for processing the appeal. After completing the procedures, wait for about a week. Within a week, the public security authority will announce the adjudication result. The appeal outcome may either revoke the violation or uphold the original decision.
