When a car makes clunking noises while driving over bumpy roads, it could be due to wear in the bottom pressure bearings, deformation or gaps in the rubber mounts, or looseness and wear in the steering ball joints or lower arm ball joints. Issues with the rubber bushings at the front suspension connections: Since the suspension undergoes a lot of movement on bumpy roads, various noises may overlap, so it's generally necessary to identify the type of sound or conduct an actual test drive to determine the cause. If you can feel a low-pitched metallic impact noise, similar to metal parts interfering with each other, the most likely culprits are problems with the rubber bushings or top mounts at the front suspension connections. Top mounts can help extend the lifespan of shock absorbers: Top mounts, also known as shock absorber upper seats, are specifically designed to connect the car's shock absorbers to the body. They not only effectively cushion impacts on the body but also enhance the lifespan of the shock absorbers. Typically, a top mount consists of a piece of metal or rubber, along with bearings, washers, and sleeves.

Clean, repair, or replace the driven plate friction disc. 2. Pressure plate and driven plate problems: Uneven wear or warping of the pressure plate and driven plate. Repair or replace the pressure plate and driven plate. 3. Torsional vibration spring failure: Failure of the torsional vibration spring on the driven plate friction disc. Replace the driven plate. 4. Spline wear: Excessive wear on the clutch driven plate splines. Replace the component. 5. Transmission issues: Excessive deformation of the transmission input shaft. Replace the shaft. 6. Loose supports: Loose engine mounts or transmission housing fastening bolts. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.

Where is the windshield washer fluid reservoir located in a car?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located under a blue-cap white container in the engine compartment. Here are the specific functions of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions to achieve cleaning and stain removal. 2. Anti-fog performance: It forms a monomolecular protective layer on the glass surface. This protective film prevents fog droplet formation, ensuring clear visibility through the windshield. 3. Anti-static performance: After cleaning with washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate surface charges, providing anti-static properties.

What is the function of an automatic transmission in a car?

The main functions of an automatic transmission in a car are to change the transmission ratio, expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels, and adapt to frequently changing driving conditions. The functions of an automatic transmission in a car are as follows: 1. Adapt to driving conditions: Change the transmission ratio and expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions. 2. Benefit engine operation: Enable the engine to operate under conditions where it is powerful (higher power and lower fuel consumption). 3. Allow the car to reverse: Under the condition that the engine's rotation direction remains unchanged, enable the car to only move in reverse.

Should car maintenance be done at a 4S shop or outside?

For maintenance and repairs, it is advisable to choose a 4S shop as it offers better after-sales service. For vehicles out of warranty, maintenance can be done outside at a lower cost. However, it is recommended to replace transmission oil, differential oil, and fuel filters at a 4S shop for better assurance. Advantages and disadvantages of 4S shops and repair shops: 1. 4S shops: They are more professional and can provide comprehensive solutions, but there may be cases where a small faulty part leads to the replacement of the entire component. 2. Repair shops: They are cheaper and more experienced in handling minor issues. They often specialize in certain car models, ensuring a certain level of professionalism and offering solutions that are relatively official. However, their skill levels vary, and they may lack the expertise and professional equipment for certain car models, resulting in poor after-sales service.

When to Steer When Turning a Car?

Timing for steering during vehicle turns: 1. For left turns on narrow roads, steer when the right front corner of the car aligns with the roadside; on wider roads, you can steer slightly earlier. 2. For right turns on narrow roads, steer when the left front corner aligns with the roadside; on wider roads, you can steer slightly earlier. 3. Steering principles for turns: gentle turns (steer early and slowly, return early and slowly), sharp turns (steer late and quickly, return early and quickly). 4. Turning precautions: Be careful not to scrape the right side or let the rear wheels leave the road, and be aware of the inner wheel difference. 5. Steering around obstacles: If there are obstacles on the roadside, start steering when the person is roughly parallel to the obstacle. Begin returning the steering wheel when the car is almost but not completely straight after the turn. 6. Early steering return: Don’t wait until the car is completely straight to return the steering wheel; there is a process from steering to straightening the car.
