Will a sedan be damaged by carrying 1000 jin?
1 Answers
Carrying 1000 jin is already considered overload for some small sedans. Overloading can shorten the vehicle's lifespan and accelerate the aging of components; increase tire wear and deformation; accelerate engine damage; make steering heavier and increase centrifugal force, affecting the car's handling performance; reduce braking performance, extending the non-safety zone distance; shorten the lifespan of leaf springs, and reduce the vehicle's passing ability. The damages caused by overloading to the car: 1. Shorten the car's lifespan and accelerate the aging of components: The load limit of a car is determined during manufacturing. Overloading will alter the original design parameters, such as loosening rivets, detachment of fastening screws, and deformation of the overall frame. Overloading shortens the vehicle's lifespan and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. 2. Increase tire wear and deformation: Car tires are designed and produced based on the total weight of the car, with a considerable safety factor. However, when the car is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. Increased friction also leads to a shorter tire lifespan. 3. Accelerate engine damage: Overloading causes significant damage to the engine. The increased load results in insufficient power. Prolonged low-speed driving causes the engine to overheat, exacerbating component damage. It also increases fuel consumption, raising transportation costs. 4. Heavier steering and increased centrifugal force: Affects the car's handling performance. Overloading increases centrifugal force during turns, reducing the car's driving stability and potentially causing accidents.
