Loud friction sounds from car wipers may be related to residual stains on the wipers and the quality of the wipers. The specific impacts and solutions are as follows: Impact of the Wiper Itself: Stains accumulated on the wiper can cause abnormal sounds during operation; uneven wiper blades may lead to deformation. Observe the direction of the wiper blades and adjust their position to ensure proper alignment between the wiper and the windshield; residual grease or oil on the glass. Parking under trees for extended periods may leave grease on the glass, causing abnormal wiper sounds; wiper aging or hardening. Weather conditions can lead to the hardening and aging of wipers over time. Solutions: Regularly clean stains on the wipers with a cleaning agent and remove residual grease from the windshield to prevent friction sounds during operation; replace the wipers if necessary to avoid aging due to weather conditions, which may render them non-functional.

What is the speed limit for small cars on highways?

Highway speed limit for small cars is 120 kilometers per hour. When driving normally on highways, the minimum speed for motor vehicles should not be lower than 60 km/h. Small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 km/h at maximum speed, while large buses and trucks must not exceed 90 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h and are prohibited from carrying passengers. When the speed displayed on traffic signs or road signs differs from the above regulations, the signs or markings should be followed. Highways are multi-lane roads exclusively designed for directional and lane-separated vehicle traffic with full access control. The annual average daily traffic volume for highway design should exceed 15,000 passenger car equivalents, with a design speed ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.

What is the difference between a shock absorber assembly and a shock absorber?

The differences between a shock absorber assembly and a shock absorber are as follows: 1. Different composition: The shock absorber is only a part of the shock absorber assembly; the shock absorber assembly consists of a shock absorber, lower spring seat, dust cover, spring, shock absorber pad, upper spring seat, spring seat, bearing, top rubber, and nut. 2. Different replacement difficulty: Replacing an independent shock absorber is difficult, requiring professional equipment and technicians, and has a high risk factor; replacing the shock absorber assembly only requires loosening a few screws, making it easy to accomplish. 3. Price difference: The price of replacing individual components of the shock absorber kit is expensive; while the shock absorber assembly includes all components of the shock absorption system, making it cheaper compared to replacing all components of the shock absorber. 4. Different functions: A single shock absorber only has the function of shock absorption; while the shock absorber assembly also serves as a suspension strut in the suspension system.

How to Know if Anti-Skid is Turned On?

Here is an introduction about the activation status of anti-skid: 1. When stuck on unpaved roads or off-roading: When trapped in mud, sand, or snow, or when off-roading in harsh environments, if the drive wheels slip, the ESP will intervene to control power output, which is not conducive to escaping the situation and reduces the vehicle's ability to pass through difficult terrain. In such cases, you can manually turn off the ESP to improve the vehicle's passability. 2. When driving on icy or snowy roads: In cold regions where roads are covered with snow or ice, the traction of the vehicle's tires is significantly reduced. When going uphill or starting, the wheels are prone to slipping. In this scenario, the ESP will limit the engine's power output, which is not conducive to driving. You can try turning off the ESP before proceeding.
