【The owner's family car knowledge】Recently, many netizens have complained that as a means of transportation, although the price of a car has become closer and closer to public opinion, a series of related expenses after the purchase have become more and more unbearable. I saw netizens' entanglement and confusion about vehicle maintenance and repair costs. It is true that any product itself will be lost during use, and although the service life of a car is not short, frequent problems with parts will also affect the use of the final car. Therefore, car owners sometimes go to 4S shops for repairs and replacement parts. Expenses and working hours have become a headache figure.
In fact, every important component of a car also has a certain service life. Take the engine assembly, the timing belt (tape) needs to be replaced every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers, and the drive V-belt is replaced every 40,000. It is replaced once every kilometer; and some unnecessary replacement parts need to be checked and cleaned regularly. For example, the distributor contacts are cleaned and inspected every 40,000. The man-hours required for inspection and cleaning are also one of the maintenance costs that cause headaches for car owners.
However, although car maintenance is becoming less and less worrying, economical and efficient maintenance methods are not non-existent. Take the chassis parts that are most prone to problems, understanding the pre-signs of failures can well avoid causing more serious problems. Condition:

However, although car maintenance is becoming less and less worrying, economical and efficient maintenance methods are not non-existent. Take the chassis parts that are most prone to problems, understanding the pre-signs of failures can well avoid causing more serious problems. Condition:
From the perspective of use, chassis components are actually more prone to problems than engines, but during routine maintenance, many people often overlook the inspection of chassis components. The parts of the chassis that are prone to failure are mainly concentrated in:
1. Shock absorber:Oil leakage is a harbinger of shock absorber damage. In addition, driving bumps on bad roads significantly increase or braking distance becomes longer is also a sign of shock absorber damage.
2. Suspension control arm rubber sleeve:After the rubber sleeve is damaged, the vehicle will have a series of malfunctions such as deviation and swing, even if the four-wheel alignment is done, it will not help. If you check the chassis carefully, damage to the rubber sleeve is easy to find.
3. Steering lever:The loose steering rod is a serious safety hazard. Therefore, you must carefully check this part during routine maintenance. The method is simple: hold the lever and shake it vigorously. If there is no shaking, it means everything is normal. Otherwise, the ball head or the lever assembly should be replaced.
4. Exhaust pipe:The exhaust pipe is one of the most easily damaged parts under the car, so don't forget to take a look at it. Especially exhaust pipes with three-way catalytic converters should be checked carefully.
5. Universal joint dust cover:Don’t underestimate the dust cover on the outside of the universal joint. It not only prevents dust, but also prevents the loss of grease around the universal joint. Once the dust cover is damaged, the grease will lose quickly. The joint is easily damaged.
In addition, the maintenance of the tire does not have to be done at a 4S shop. First, remove the stones and other inclusions in the tire pattern, and check whether the tire has blisters, layers, lacerations, deterioration, aging, etc.; secondly, remove the tires. At the same time, derust the rim, check the inner tube and lining for damage or wrinkles, inflate according to the specified air pressure, and carry out the tire flanging or transposition. In addition, check whether there is any friction between the tires and the wings, the floor of the box, the leaf springs, and the mudguards.
