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. |

An alternator is one of the most commonly dysfunctional auto

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. |

| |
|
From the car aficionado to the daily commuter, all drivers should
consider improving the safety of their vehicles. One of the best
safety improvements available on the market is the addition of a
big brake kit. Brakes are obviously critical in any car. But if
the horsepower in a vehicle has been amplified, and the breaks
have not been adjusted to accommodate that horsepower, it is
likely that problems will occur. |

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
hear from their vehicle. |
