Low-Riders, Street Racers and Everyday Drivers Should Be Aware of the Camber in a Car's Suspension System by Quinton Becker |
| |
|
The camber kit in your car's suspension system adjusts the angle
of your tires, and increases the size of your tire footprint -
how much of each tire comes into contact with the pavement. If
you lower your car without installing a camber kit, there are
some major handling problems that will arise. While street racers
and low-rider buffs are the people who could use the camber kit
most often, everyday drivers often consider it to be an
economical safety improvement for their vehicles. |

Don't Let Your Car's Alternator Leave You Stranded by Quinton Becker |
| |
|
An alternator is one of the most commonly dysfunctional auto
parts. Without a properly functioning alternator, your car will
simply refuse to run. A faulty alternator can leave you stranded,
but luckily, a low-performing alternator often shows warning
signs that indicate its malfunction before it ceases to work.
Being able to recognize these warning signs, and knowing what to
do next, may prevent you from getting caught in an inconvenient
or dangerous situation. |

As Dodge begins to offer 0% financing on new Dodge Trucks, Ford
and Toyota suspend production on many of their pickup truck
models, and Chevrolet starts closing truck and SUV factories, it
would appear that the final nail has been put into the pickup
truck and sports utility vehicle industry in the United States.
But the truth is that four-dollar plus gasoline has only hastened
the demise of older designs, and the auto makers are rushing to
accelerate their transition to the hybrid vehicles that were
expected to be released in the 2010-2011 model year |

The stock exhaust on many cars is far more restrictive than it
needs to be. Many years ago people seeking improved power and
performance learned that they could achieve both by adding a
larger, less restrictive exhaust system to their vehicle. Not
only do new exhaust systems provide increased power, they can
also generate that sound that many automotive enthusiasts like to
