As life tends to be normal, people travel more frequently, but at this time, many riders have not used their cars for more than two months, which is long enough. Do you need maintenance before normal use to ensure safety? In the process of people's car ownership, several aspects are often overlooked. Next, Bian Xiao will introduce them to you.
To understand the service life of brake pads
It is difficult to define the service life of brake pads with certain kilometers or time. The main reason is that the brake pads are made of different materials, the driving habits of each user are different, the driving conditions are different, and the frequency of using the brakes is different. Therefore, the wear of brake pads is very different. In addition to brake oil, brake pads and brake discs (drums) are vulnerable parts in the whole braking system. It needs to be replaced when it is worn to a certain extent. Of course, brake discs and brake drums are wear-resistant products and have a certain "life cycle". As for how many years to replace a set of brake pads or how many kilometers to drive? In fact, there is no strict shelf life for brake pads. As long as it is not worn to the limit position, it can continue to be used, but the quality of each brake pad brand is different, and everyone's car habits and car environment are different, so the number of kilometers to be replaced will be different, even one car is in a different condition. In general, the brake pads of drum brakes are longer than those of disc brakes, but attention should be paid to them. In addition to watching, the owner heard the creaking sound of metal friction when braking, indicating that there is probably something wrong with the brake pads. No one wants any accidents, so it is better to be careful and provide a guarantee for themselves and their families.
Brake pad replacement details
A maintenance master said, "Changing discs is like a piece of cake, and changing drums is like embroidery". It is suggested that the best professional things should be left to professional people and replaced by professional maintenance masters. They will do a lot of professional treatment when replacing the brake pads, so let's see how they replace the brake pads. When changing brake pads, we usually change a pair, not a pair. The front wheel brake pads are generally wider than the rear wheel, because the main power of most cars is the front wheel, so the front wheel bears more load and needs more braking force to stop the car. Don't buy the wrong front wheel and rear wheel when buying brake pads!
Main points of chassis maintenance
Let me talk about the chassis. Automobile chassis consists of four parts: transmission system, drive system, steering system and braking system. Because the metal part of the chassis is exposed, the sand splashed on the road will continue to hit the chassis during the driving of the vehicle, and the original rust-proof layer of the chassis will be gradually destroyed. In addition, due to the high temperature on the ground in summer, the chassis is extremely hot. At night, the moisture in the air will slowly corrode the bottom of the car after the temperature drops. The damage of chassis will further affect the normal functions of other components, such as oil leakage and steering damage. Although the chassis will be sprayed with anti-rust primer when it leaves the factory, it will slowly oxidize after a period of time, which will lead to the loosening of the whole vehicle structure and cause safety hazards. The most important thing is rust prevention. Car owners are advised to choose a professional car beauty center when carrying out anti-rust treatment on the car chassis. Under normal circumstances, the most important thing in the daily maintenance of chassis is rust prevention. The car mainly chooses a professional car beauty center to do the anti-rust treatment of the car chassis. Generally speaking, the chassis after anti-rust care hardly hangs water drops after high-pressure water spraying, which can play a good anti-rust effect. In addition, it should be noted that after anti-rust care, do not use alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing powder and detergent, to clean the body and chassis, which will affect the anti-rust effect and shorten the anti-rust time.
If you want to travel safely, you can't do without the daily maintenance of car owners. We can't wait until there are problems before taking measures, that is, it is better to mend after it is too late. It is recommended that car owners plan ahead and plan ahead. Only in this way can they ensure the safety of their families and their own travel, give themselves and their families peace of mind and make a promise for the future.
