Are the chassis stiffeners (tie bars, top bars, etc.) useful?
I often see someone changing the body reinforcement (as shown in the picture, or adding the top separately, like the tic-tac-head). Someone around me says that the body is particularly "neat" after adding a whole set of tie rods. I am quite confused, can these simple screw fixed metal rods really have such a big impact on driving quality? What are the negative effects?
First of all, the owner of the additional reinforcement will change the performance of the original car. Because, the vehicle stability performance is through the length of these components, thickness, installation point to achieve. Additional reinforcement will change the characteristics of the original parts, resulting in changes in vehicle performance. The second question is, will the performance of the vehicle get better or worse after the addition of additional reinforcement? The standard answer is: it could get better, it could get worse. Professional people can control the performance to develop in a good direction. For example, we have a colleague who changes the car by himself. He knows where the weakness of the original car is and naturally knows how to strengthen it. But if you don't know why you are making changes, then most of the time you are making changes blindly, which naturally does more harm than good! The cars you buy have been tested for hundreds of thousands of kilometers of durability to ensure that there is no danger in the use of cars. That's what the engineers do in the car plant. The modified parts have not undergone strict performance testing and durability testing, and the quality cannot be guaranteed. If the fracture and fall off occur in the process of use, it will bring life danger to the owner. Don't think that this is just a strengthening piece, broken and the original car's piece. Has it ever been considered that the addition will break and get stuck in the ground and cause a serious traffic accident... To sum up, refitting has risks and operation needs to be cautious. If you can control the performance of the vehicle through enhancements (note, the word here is control, not change, control means you can make the performance better or worse, while still controlling the amount of change), then, talent, please send your resume to our company as soon as possible, very welcome.
