The pain of being on the verge of bankruptcy has long since vanished. Now, GM's global business activities have reached an unprecedented height, especially in China, which is simply a magic enterprise in the car.
However, my interest in GM is getting weaker and weaker, and I have hardly recommended GM models to the public, whether cars or SUVs. The main reason is not that its technology is stagnant, but that GM has applied its patents with potential safety hazards to its models, but it has not been improved.
There are potential safety hazards in the design of split lower swing arm bushing.
There is a reason why GM is not recommended. The separated lower cantilever sleeve is a universal patented design. The original two-body interconnection structure was changed into a three-body structure, with a hollow steel tube in the middle and connected by screws. When the screw falls off or breaks, the tire will fly. Theoretically, there is a 100% risk that the screw will fall off or break.
There is a reason why GM is not recommended. There is a reason why GM is not recommended. Chevrolet brand Cruze, Knight, Buick brand Angkewei, Yinglang and Lang Wei all adopted this design scheme. Broken shaft is not absolute, but it is a hidden danger. As a car company, we should stop using it or improve it, but we don't see GM's sincerity.
