It may be due to the damping being set too stiff or too high. Coilover suspension adjustment instructions: The higher the spring seat height, the stiffer the spring performs, and vice versa; When adjusting the spring seat, the vehicle height will also change proportionally (definitely not 1:1); Only when the damping coefficient matches the spring can the highest performance be achieved; Damping is not the bigger the better - excessive damping will cause insufficient spring travel, resulting in severe bouncing of the entire vehicle; Adjusting the shock body height does not affect spring stiffness. Meaning of coilover suspension: Coilover suspension (Height Adjustable Damper) - derived from racing technology, refers to shock absorbers with adjustable (spring) height design; When the vehicle is stationary, the ground clearance at the four corners of the body has a significant impact on the wheel load at that position: Increasing the ground clearance at the left rear corner will increase the load on the left rear wheel and its diagonal wheel (i.e. the right front wheel), while reducing the load on the other diagonal wheels (left front and right rear wheels).

Why is a driver's license required for financing a car?

Financing a car does not necessarily require a driver's license, but banks generally request to see one because they typically only allow the borrower themselves to take out an auto loan, in order to reduce the bank's risk. The specific materials required for an auto loan are as follows: 1. Identity verification materials: Copy of the applicant's ID card; copy of spouse's ID card (not required if single). 2. Property ownership materials: If you do not own property, you can provide a copy of a friend's property deed as collateral or seek a guarantee from a guarantor company. 3. Proof of residence: Household registration booklet or temporary residence permit. 4. Proof of income materials: Original proof of the applicant's income; original proof of spouse's income. 5. Copy materials: Copy of driver's license.

How to Solve the Problem of Boyue Not Starting?

Here are the solutions for Boyue not starting: 1. Battery Depletion: When the car battery is depleted, the car may fail to start. There are many reasons for car battery depletion, such as lack of water in the battery, battery failure, or prolonged use of the air conditioning. If the car doesn't start, first check if there is an issue with the car battery and then take it to a 4S shop for repair. 2. Low Temperature: In cold winter weather, cars often have trouble starting. This is because, in low-temperature environments, the viscosity and rotation speed of the car's engine oil decrease, leading to reduced ignition energy from the battery and decreased molecular activity. If this happens, try pressing the clutch before starting the engine. 3. Carbon Buildup in the Car: Carbon buildup in the car's engine can cause starting issues. There are many reasons for engine carbon buildup, such as excessive water in gasoline, poor fuel quality, or poor sealing of the valve seat ring.

Is it advisable to buy a used car that has been transferred four or five times?

If a vehicle has been transferred four or five times, it generally indicates that the car has had multiple owners and is not very new. Such a used car is not recommended for purchase. Below is an introduction to used cars: 1. Introduction: A used car refers to a vehicle (including three-wheeled vehicles, low-speed trucks, originally agricultural vehicles), trailers, and motorcycles that have been registered with the public security traffic management authorities and can be traded and transferred ownership before reaching the national scrapping standards. 2. Nature: The definition of a used car is directly related to the scope of vehicles involved and, to some extent, affects the scientific nature of the used car evaluation system and the standardization of market transactions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a clear definition. 3. Applicability: The biggest selling point of a used car is its affordability. With the same amount of money needed to buy a new car, you can purchase a higher-grade used car. Therefore, from the perspective of reducing car purchase costs, buying a used car is a wiser choice for the general public.

Can the car air conditioning filter be washed and reused?

Car air conditioning filters cannot be reused after washing. Here are the specific details: 1. Cleaning method: Due to the material and structural characteristics of the air conditioning filter, remember that it cannot be washed with water. A water-washed air conditioning filter is basically rendered useless. The filter can be cleaned with a high-pressure air gun to remove dust and debris. It is recommended to clean it once a month, especially during the summer when the air conditioning is frequently used. Regular cleaning of the air conditioning filter can extend its service life. 2. Working principle: The air conditioning filter, actually known as the 'car air conditioning filter,' is a specialized filter for purifying the air inside the car cabin. It generally uses long-fiber non-woven fabric as the main filtering layer, with some filters incorporating high-efficiency adsorption materials like activated carbon for better filtration. The main function of the air conditioning filter is to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving the cleanliness of the air inside the cabin.
