The causes of abnormal noises from the shock absorber include oil leakage and aging of the top seat plane bearing. Below are the specific reasons for the abnormal noises: Shock absorber oil leakage: When the shock absorber leaks oil, the inside of the shock cylinder cannot be effectively lubricated, resulting in significant friction noises during operation. Aging of the top seat plane bearing: The plane bearing is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood and press down on the body to check if the noise comes from the top seat of the shock absorber. If it does, it is likely due to aging of the plane bearing. If the shock absorber spring is deformed or broken, the entire shock absorber spring must be replaced in such cases.

After driving my Baojun 730 for years, common causes of shock absorber noise include internal component aging or oil leakage, especially when rubber bushings wear out and produce squeaking sounds, which become more noticeable on bumpy roads. Additionally, spring degradation or loose mounting bolts can also lead to noise, affecting driving stability. Long-term overloading accelerates wear, such as frequently carrying full loads of cargo. It's recommended to promptly visit a repair shop for inspection to avoid damaging other components like the suspension system. For daily maintenance, pay attention to light-load driving and regular part replacements to reduce the risk of noise. The cost isn't high, but it impacts safety—don't delay repairs for too long.

During car repairs, I've encountered many cases of Baojun 730 abnormal noises, mostly caused by shock absorber bushing cracks or fluid leakage. Spring issues or aging connecting components are also culprits, resulting in clicking sounds on bumpy roads. The inspection method is simple: lift the vehicle and shake the wheels to test the problematic areas. It's recommended not to attempt DIY fixes; seek professional diagnosis and handling. Avoiding potholes during daily use can delay wear, and regular maintenance is key. Neglecting repairs may lead to overall suspension damage, increasing repair costs. Safety comes first.

What should be noted when driving a motor vehicle on icy and snowy roads?

Here are the precautions for driving a motor vehicle on icy and snowy roads: 1. Use vehicles equipped with traction control systems such as TCS, TRC, or ASR. 2. Press the accelerator gently and increase speed slowly, using the transmission to control the speed. 3. Brake in advance, leaving sufficient distance and reaction time. 4. Avoid sudden steering; make wider turns when steering. If side slipping occurs, do not panic, and avoid braking abruptly on sharp curves—control speed by downshifting instead. 5. Follow the tire tracks of the vehicle ahead. 6. Regularly clear snow and ice between the tires and fenders to reduce the chance of tire slippage. 7. Maintain good visibility through the front and rear windshields, and clean the rearview mirrors before driving.

What is a 'Da Gao Yi' vehicle?

It refers to a large high-level Class 1 passenger coach. Highway passenger vehicles are classified into high-grade, medium-grade, and ordinary-grade according to relevant regulations. The high-level Class 1 coach is the lowest-grade model among high-grade passenger vehicles. Compared with other high-grade coaches, large and medium-sized high-level Class 1 coaches have identical requirements for service facilities except that they may not be equipped with toilets. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Large high-level Class 1 (seated) is a classification of car seat tickets: high-level Class 3 is the best, high-level Class 1 is the worst, and high-level Class 3 is the most spacious. According to the value and comfort level of the coach, large seated coaches are divided into five grades: high-level Class 3, high-level Class 2, high-level Class 1, medium-grade, and ordinary-grade. Coaches are divided into seated coaches and sleeper coaches according to the mode of seating. Seated coaches are divided into large, medium, and small types according to the number of passenger seats. 2. Front and rear suspension: The front and rear suspension of a large high-level Class 1 coach must at least be a combination of independent front suspension and rear suspension with fewer leaf springs (less than 4 pieces), or a combination of all air suspension or air suspension with leaf springs. The power-to-weight ratio must be greater than 13.5 kW/t, and the per capita luggage compartment volume must also meet the specified standards to ensure the dynamic performance, safety, and comfort of high-level Class 1 highway operation coaches.

How to Handle Scrapping an Old Car?

When a vehicle reaches its scrapping period, the owner should promptly complete the vehicle scrapping procedures at the traffic management department of the public security authority. Bring the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, driving permit, and the original vehicle to the motor vehicle recycling enterprise designated by the public security traffic management department, and fill out the "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/Cancellation of Registration." The recycling enterprise will confirm the dismantling of the vehicle and issue a "Recycling Certificate for Scrapped Vehicles" to the owner. Motor Vehicle Scrapping Process: The owner of a vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out one copy of the "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval," stamped with the owner's seal. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter, and for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For motor vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can then choose a qualified recycling enterprise to send the vehicle for dismantling. The recycling enterprise will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice." It is required that the engine be separated from the vehicle, the engine block be broken, and the frame (chassis) be cut. The owner should present the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Recycling Certificate for Scrapped Vehicles," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license and certificate will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed after approval according to regulations.
