Car fenders belong to the body panels, and replacing body panels will not cause significant depreciation of the vehicle. The car body is divided into the frame and the panels. Body panels include the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, hood, trunk lid, and doors. Since the roof and rear fenders are welded to the body frame, they are also considered part of the body structure. More details are as follows: 1. When buying a used car, as long as the body frame is undamaged and the engine and transmission are in good working condition, it can be purchased. If the body panels have been repaired or replaced due to an accident, the vehicle cannot be classified as an accident car. However, if the body frame has been repaired, cut, or replaced due to an accident, then the car is considered an accident vehicle. 2. When purchasing a used car, consumers need to identify vehicles with rolled-back odometers, flood-damaged cars, fire-damaged cars, and accident cars. The first step in inspecting a car is to check the vehicle's documentation to ensure it can be legally transferred.

Why does the car make a squeaking sound when driving on bumpy roads?

When a car makes a squeaking sound while driving on bumpy roads, it could be due to deformation, oil leakage, or damaged internal parts and rubber bushings in the shock absorber, or displacement, deformation, or damage to the buffer rubber bushings in the suspension system. The detailed reasons are as follows: 1. Damaged shock absorber: This can cause the car to lose damping and rebound when driving on bumpy roads, making it prone to abnormal noises when passing over speed bumps or rough surfaces. 2. Damaged interior: Most interior noises are caused by loose interior panels. 3. Damaged suspension: There are usually rubber bushings between suspension components, which enhance comfort. However, rubber products can age over time. When rubber bushings age, they can increase the play in the suspension, leading to noises when the vehicle passes over bumpy roads or speed bumps.

Can Companies Purchase Used Cars?

Companies are generally allowed to purchase used cars. If the company has obtained a vehicle quota through a license plate lottery, it can only purchase new or used cars under the company's name as the vehicle owner. However, to be on the safe side, it is advisable to first consult with the local vehicle management office before deciding whether to purchase a used car. Relevant information: Used cars: Used cars refer to motor vehicles that have been registered with the public traffic management authorities, have not yet reached the national scrapping standards or are within their economic service life, and are still operable. Cancellation of used car relocation restrictions: The government work report proposed extending the preferential policies on the purchase tax for new energy vehicles for another three years and completely abolishing the restrictions on the relocation of used cars. Experts say this will further unleash the potential of the used car consumer market.

What is the difference between shock absorber oil leakage and oil seepage?

The differences between shock absorber oil leakage and oil seepage are as follows: 1. Observe the oil traces on the hydraulic cylinder of the shock absorber: If the oil traces are very light, just slightly moist, it indicates oil seepage from the shock absorber; whereas if the oil traces are deep and accompanied by a large amount of oil sludge, then it is oil leakage from the shock absorber. 2. Check the working condition of the shock absorber: Press down on the car body repeatedly with force, or drive on bumpy roads to feel the response. If the shock absorber rebounds strongly when pressing down and provides relatively good vibration filtering during driving, then it is oil seepage from the shock absorber; whereas if the shock absorber rebounds weakly when pressing down and the vibration filtering effect during driving is poor, it indicates oil leakage from the shock absorber.

Can You Avoid Being Photographed for Not Following Lane Directions?

At intersections with traffic lights or locations equipped with cameras, the probability of being photographed for not following lane directions is quite high. Below are some daily driving precautions: Develop the habit of wearing a seatbelt: The importance of seatbelts for driving safety is self-evident, and numerous bloody examples have warned us to always buckle up when entering a vehicle. However, there are always some people who feel that seatbelts restrict their movement space or even find them uncomfortable and choose not to wear them. Ensure the car door is securely closed: Sometimes, the car door may not close tightly; and in the event of an accident, a loosely closed door could lead to fatal consequences. If you are unsure whether the door is securely closed, do not hesitate to open it and close it firmly again. For vehicles equipped with a door-ajar warning function, pay attention to whether there is an alarm sound or if a warning light is illuminated on the dashboard.
