"Suspension," when discussing cars, refers to the use of front and rear springs to suspend a vehicle's "sprung" weight. The springs used on today's cars and trucks are constructed in a variety of types, shapes, sizes, rates, and capacities. Types include leaf springs, coil springs, air springs, and torsion bars. These are used in sets of four for each vehicle, or they may be paired off in various combinations and are attached by several different mounting techniques. The suspension system also includes shocks and/or struts, and sway bars.

Back in the earliest days of automobile development, when most of the car's weight (including the engine) was on the rear axle, steering was a simple matter of turning a tiller that pivoted the entire front axle. When the engine was moved to the front of the car, complex steering systems had to evolve. The modern automobile has come a long way since the days when "being self-propelled" was enough to satisfy the car owner. Improvements in suspension and steering, increased strength and durability of components, and advances in tire design and construction have made large contributions to riding comfort and to safe driving.

Cadillac allegedly produced the first American car to use a steering wheel instead of a tiller.

Two of the most common steering mechanisms are the "rack and pinion" and the standard (or recirculating-ball) systems that can be either manual or assisted by power. The rack and pinion was designed for sports cars and requires too much driver muscle at low speeds to be very useful in larger, heavier cars. However, power steering makes a heavy car respond easily to the steering wheel, whether at highway speeds or inching into a narrow parking place, and it is normal equipment for large automobiles.

The suspension system has two basic functions, to keep the car's wheels in firm contact with the road and to provide a comfortable ride for the passengers. A lot of the system's work is done by the springs. Under normal conditions, the springs support the body of the car evenly by compressing and rebounding with every up-and-down movement. This up-and-down movement, however, causes bouncing and swaying after each bump and is very uncomfortable to the passenger. These undesirable effects are reduced by the shock absorbers.

Common Problems:

• Shocks and struts can wear out and affect handling. If you car bounces excessively over bumps and leans hard in corners, your shocks could be warn. Look behind the wheel for the shock or strut and look for leaking oil. This is a sure sign of a worn shock or strut.
• Ball joints. Ball joints wear and can cause your car to wander while driving down the road. This is dangerous as they can separate and cause you to lose control.
  Preventive maintenance:
• Check your shocks or struts for leakage frequently. Also pay attention to how your car handles. If you notice the ride deteriorating take your car in to have the struts checked.
• Ball joints should be checked when your car is inspected, if not, have your mechanic check them at least twice a year.
• At each oil change make sure you or your mechanic lubricates the ball joints and any other suspension components. Some components cannot be lubricated as they are sealed from the factory.

Nothing (well, almost nothing) can compare to the thrill of driving a road-hugging high performance sports car. Instant steering response. Power at the exact nanosecond you ask for it.

Then, if you have one of the sexier models, you’ll attract attention on the road, filling up, and in the shopping mall parking lot.

Yes, you can pretend you’re driving the Autobahn with the wind blowing your hair. But beware of state troopers just waiting for an “arrest me red” entry on their ticket issuing track record.

Before You Fall In Love . . .

Before you step into that showroom and fall in love, consider the following practicalities:

1) How much do you want to spend? $20,000? $30,000? Or more?

2) What’s the tradeoff between performance (power) and gas mileage? Higher performance usually equals less gas mileage.

Does the vehicle use premium gas? Right now, the difference between premium and regular is 20 cents per gallon. At 20 miles per gallon and 15,000 miles per year, the cost differential is $150.

3) What about reliability? Some upscale models cost considerably more to maintain and have a higher incidence of repair costs. Would you appreciate paying $125 just to diagnose the problem when the check engine light comes on? Or paying $70 for an oil change?

4) In a climate where snow and ice are winter realities, do you want to drive it year round? Or store it over the winter?

A rear wheel drive sports car is impractical for winter driving. A front, all-wheel, or 4-wheel drive sport car can be driven in snow and ice, if you use all-season tires. If the little devil comes with performance tires, you will want to buy all-season tires (and possibly rims) for winter driving. Add another $1500 to the price of the car for the right tires and rims.

Do Your Homework . . .

5) Once you’ve decided price, performance, gas mileage, reliability, and practicality for all-season driving, get on the Internet. Here you can compare models and pricing and read reviews. Google “buying a new car” or “new car prices” and several sites will pop up.

Another source is Consumer Report (the new car issue) where your criteria will be easy to find. Red dots are good. Black dots are not. Most American car dealers consider this issue of Consumer Report a nightmare because it favors foreign car models, especially Asian cars. However, as explained in the newest version of this report, American car manufacturers are catching up.

6) Find out what you should pay before stepping into a showroom. Dealers will offer below invoice prices even on some sports cars because of rebates, dealer incentives, and dealer returns when they make a sale.

7) Remember the incidentals. Yes, you have to pay to transport the vehicle from the manufacturer. Yes, you have to pay for options. And remember the sales (and sometimes luxury) tax.

The Driving Experience . . .

Unless you have driven the exact model and year you want to purchase, step into the showroom and test drive the car. Driving the previous year’s model is unacceptable. If the dealer lures you into his web and asks you to test drive an earlier model, RUN out of the show room. You’re wasting your time.

9) Pick at least 2 different road types for test driving. The winding, hilly road is one road type. Road hugging capabilities are tested here. If the car is standard, smooth-shifting is another test. A car that cuts back after you release the clutch is NOT smooth shifting.

The highway is another road type. Make sure power is sufficient to handle entrance ramps and merging with traffic. If you get an instant response at highway speeds, the car is a possible winner.

Closing the Deal . . .

10) If you like the car, get the dealer’s best quote. Then, find at least one other dealer to give you another quote ON THE SAME CAR. If you don’t like the car in the test drive, you probably won’t like the car – ever. Move on to the next model.

11) When you decide on a car, call your insurance company and find out what the vehicle will cost per year. And don’t choke on your coffee when you hear the amount – you can shop around.

12) Estimate how much the real estate taxes will be on the car, especially if it’s a high-priced model. This could be another financial shocker!

As you can see, sports car buying is a process. Do you need to do all this stuff? Nope, you don’t. But consider the financial sticker shock when you’re paying an extraordinary amount for maintenance, repairs, gas, insurance, and taxes! Just for that Autobahnesque experience!

Today with soaring gas prices it's more important than ever to pay attention to the little things that can help your car to run more efficiently, hence saving you money. You can turn this into a win-win situation for you and for your car.

The first tip to saving money on your car is keeping it's engine properly tuned up. A car engine that isn't running efficiently can use up to 30 more fuel than a car engine that is properly tuned. Follow your car manufacturers guidelines for servicing your car.

Make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Tires that are under inflated will cause you to burn more gasoline. Make sure that your tires are kept in alignment. This will help you car to handle better also.

Avoid running the engine unnecessarily. The cars of today don't need to be warmed up in the morning like the cars our parents used to drive. Get in, turn it on, and go. If you are going to be waiting for someone, or sitting in your car turn it off.

Drive 55 mph and not 70 mph. Driving the posted speed limit can help you save up to 15 more fuel. That's a nice saving! Also, use your cruise control when you can. This keeps your speed steady. Avoid sudden and extreme accelerations. These use fuel needlessly.

The next time you go on your errands see if you can run them more efficiently. Pick up your dry cleaning and your prescription at the same time. Don't double back from store to store, it's a real waste of gasoline, and time. If you don't have to be out in peak traffic times, don't. Wait until the traffic thins before running errands, this way you won't be waiting in long lines to get through the lights.

Set up a car pool to help usher the kids to and from school and sporting events. Perhaps you can take Billy home this week and Billy's mom can drop your son off next week. How about a car pool for work? We're living in a time where people live farther from work than ever before. With the price of gas a work car pool makes more sense than ever.

Most people do not enjoy buying a car. A survey conducted by CNN revealed that 75% of people would rather visit a dentist than face visiting a car dealership. It's not that people don't want a car – it's just that there are so many pitfalls to negotiate and not everyone can be sure of the right steps to take. Here are a few points to keep in mind to make the process easier.

1. Ask questions, lots of questions. Try to ask sensible questions that will enable you to base your decisions on solid ground. But don't be afraid to just ask and only stop when all your concerns have been properly addressed.
2. Do not let emotion drive you. Pretty cars with all the bells and whistles can blind you to the truth. More often than not you will end up paying more than you need to if you buy with emotion. Be impartial and see the car for what it is and not what you may have fallen in love with.
3. Know exactly what you want before you put a single foot inside the dealership door. An open mind can be easily manipulated, and usually not in your favor. Use brochures, etc, beforehand to determine exactly what you want within your budget, and don't be swayed by smooth talk.
4. Talk to the dealer about the price and not the payments. Dealers who keep referring to the "easy" payments could be avoiding the issue of overall price, and you need to know why. Do your homework and you will know exactly what price fits into a payment plan to fit your budget. But if you focus on payment, you may end up paying more than you bargained for.
5. Know when the time has come to make a decision. That decision could be to walk away, or it could be to close the deal. You should constantly monitor how you feel about the offer being made to you. If it all feels right, then stay with it and see it through. But if you get even just a tiny twinge of something not quite right, be prepared to walk away.

Make buying your new car fun by purchasing through government & surplus auctions!

Buying a car is not always easy. It's not something most of us do very often and we all want to make the best use of our money. But with sensible and careful planning, and an awareness of the five points above, you can buy the exact right car for you at the exact right price for you. Happy motoring!

There are many makes and models that you can choose from when buying the hybrid car, but it is important that the hybrid car that you select meets the needs that you have in a vehicle.
4. When you consider purchasing the hybrid vehicle, it’s important to understand that you may pay more for a hybrid vehicle than a standard vehicle. You should research the prices of hybrid vehicles to ensure that the costs of the hybrid fit into your budget. Also, when working with a dealer, it is very important to try to purchase a hybrid vehicle that is selling at invoice rate. You should make sure that you get the best deal possible on your hybrid vehicle.
5. You should research many areas when it comes to buying a hybrid vehicle. Research hybrid vehicles online, work with a variety of hybrid car dealers, and try to get the most for your money. The hybrid vehicle is going to have to last you quite a long time, and it is important that you purchase the hybrid vehicle that you like, that has the features that you wish to have in a hybrid vehicle, and that it has the best price available.

As you can see, there are many things to consider when buying a hybrid vehicle. While these vehicles are extremely beneficial, they are not always appropriate for each individual. If you research hybrid vehicles, and find that they are right for you, you should continue with the purchase. If not, then do not continue with the purchase.

Many people have heard of the new and innovative hybrid car. A hybrid car is a vehicle that is powered by an engine that is run on both fuel and electricity. This makes an excellent choice for people who wish to save on the price of fuel. Of course, there are many more benefits to owning a hybrid car. One of the best benefits to owning a hybrid car is that you are taking an active role in preserving and protecting the environment. The pollutants that a hybrid releases into the air are almost 100% less then that of a fuel powered vehicle. As a result of doing your part to effectively protect the environment by purchasing a hybrid vehicle, the government works to reward you accordingly.
The government in the United States is now offering tax incentives for people who own hybrid cars. If you own a hybrid car, you can receive a tax incentive up to approximately $3500.00! This is referred to as an “Energy Bill”, which President Bush promoted and passed. The Energy Bill backs the tax incentive that it gives to hybrid car owners by stating that it protects the environment by consuming less oil than the average car. The government sees the purchase of a hybrid car as a wise investment because the citizens of the United States will need to depend less on the oil sources that are provided by various other countries around the world.

When trying to determine the amount of the tax incentive that you will receive as a hybrid car owner, it can be quite a task. The tax incentive is based on the overall efficiency of cars that are from the year of 2002. If your vehicle is at least 50% efficient than a car from this year, then you can receive a tax incentive of at least $400.00. If your new hybrid car is proven to be more efficient than 50%, then you are sure to receive a higher tax incentive.

The government is promoting that all individuals eventually work toward the purchase of a hybrid vehicle. It is an important investment for people as individuals and for the entire country as well. As long as you are an owner of a hybrid vehicle, the government will issue you a tax incentive to show their appreciation for your contribution to the environment, as well as the oil supply to the nation in whole. By purchasing a hybrid vehicle, the United States will ultimately depend less on the oil supply that is required from other countries in the world.

If you wish to receive a government tax incentive from the type of car that you own, you want to save money on your fuel and oil costs, and want to do your part to help the environment, you should seriously consider purchasing a hybrid car. There are many benefits that occur as a result of purchasing a hybrid car.

Selecting a hybrid vehicle, or an HEV, can be an easy task. Choosing to purchase a hybrid vehicle creates many benefits. The first benefit, of course, is that you save money on fuel costs. The second benefit is that you are doing your part to protect the environment. The third benefit is that you are reducing the need for our country to depend on oil sources from other countries. The next benefit is that you can receive a tax incentive from the government based on the Energy Bill. It is true that a hybrid vehicle is more expensive than the standard vehicle; however, it pays for itself time and time again. Here, you will learn some important steps on how to select a hybrid vehicle.

1. The first step to selecting a hybrid vehicle is to determine what style of vehicle that you are in the market for. You can choose from a basic sedan to a SUV when selecting a hybrid vehicle. You must first determine what style of hybrid vehicle that you are in the market for before making the appropriate choice for you.
2. The next step to selecting a hybrid vehicle is to evaluate your driving habits. You should carefully consider whether you need a vehicle to drive short distances, or if you need a vehicle that will drive long distances. Many people travel often, and other people do not. Your travel habits will play a large role in selecting a hybrid vehicle.
3. It is important to do research when you are selecting a hybrid vehicle. There are numerous ways that you can research hybrid vehicles to ensure that you are selecting the hybrid vehicle that is right for you. You can do an online search, or you can visit your local dealer for information on the various types of hybrid vehicles that are available, and research the features of each one.
4. There are websites that are sponsored by the government that rate various makes and models of hybrid vehicles. Since the government issues tax incentives on the hybrid vehicles, you should choose the make and model of hybrid vehicle that has the highest efficiency rating to ensure that you get the most money from your tax incentive.
5. Once you have selected a hybrid vehicle that you are interested in, it is important that you contact a dealership and arrange to take the hybrid vehicle that you select for a test drive. Many major car dealerships will even allow you to keep a vehicle overnight to test drive it. This will give you plenty of time to have your automobile technician check the vehicle and offer you their opinion.

There are many steps involved when selecting a hybrid vehicle. It is important that you do all of your research, and select the hybrid vehicle that is closest to meeting your driving needs. You should be sure to do all the research that you can in order to make the most logical decision when it comes to selecting a hybrid vehicle.

Can be a complicated and difficult task, especially for individuals with little knowledge on the subject. This process requires extensive research in order to determine you are receiving the best deal possible. Before going to a car stereo dealer, you may want to review and understand all the components of a car stereo. This way, you can personally choose which components you would like for your car. The following is a list of the basic components of a car stereo:

1. Decks – Car stereos cannot function without a deck. A deck constitutes any piece of equipment ranging from cassette decks and CD players to MP3s and mini discs. The deck is considered the glue that holds the car stereo together. The deck controls the overall output of the sound and allows you to control the music being played. All car stereo decks have a minimum 4-channel output for your speakers. If you want more power than what your speakers alone can hold, you may want to consider purchasing an amplifier.

2. Amplifiers – Amplifiers provide the power needed to blast the music in your car. The more powerful your amplifier is, the louder the sound system is going to be. An amplifier can have anywhere from 1 to 7 channels. The number of channels in your amplifier is the number of speakers you can hookup in a series circuit.

3. Speakers – Speakers are where the sound from the stereo is emitted. Different types of speakers are designed to produce different frequencies. Higher frequencies provide the capacity for more sound and produce a higher level sound as well. The efficiency of the speakers is what will determine how far the sound will travel. If you want the sound to travel far, you will need speakers with a higher frequency.

4. Subwoofers – Every high-tech car stereo system should have a subwoofer. Subwoofers complete the sound by providing high efficiency of low frequencies, through the bass. In other words, the subwoofer is the piece of equipment which makes the car vibrate. A subwoofer needs to be enclosed in either a box or possibly the trunk of your vehicle. Keep this is mind when budgeting the cost of your stereo system.

Now that you know the basics of how everything operates, you can ask informed questions as to which components you should have in your car.

For people looking for ways to save on the costs that are associated with fuel, purchasing a hybrid vehicle may be the answer. Hybrid vehicles work on an engine that uses both fuel and electricity in order to function. Rechargeable battery packs work to power the hybrid vehicle. There are many advantages to owning a hybrid vehicle. In this article, we will look at some of the top reasons to purchase a hybrid vehicle.

One of the top reasons to purchase a hybrid vehicle is that it is safe for the environment. The hybrid vehicle uses less gasoline than standard vehicles, and it releases fewer toxins into the atmosphere. Because the hybrid vehicle uses less gasoline and burns less oil overall, it makes it extremely safe on the environment. It is not 100% safe for the environment, but it is nearly 100% safe for it. For people who wish to “go green” purchasing a hybrid car is one of the best moves to make.

Convert Your Car/Truck to BURN WATER as well as Gasoline and DOUBLE YOUR GAS MILEAGE!!!

The second top reason to purchase a hybrid vehicle is that they have a very good efficiency rating when it comes to gas mileage. The hybrid vehicle is constructed in such a way that it has lighter components that it is composed of, and it is generally smaller than standard vehicles. These two reasons are the main for the hybrid vehicle when it comes to saving gasoline. In addition to this, when a hybrid vehicle comes to a stop, the engine automatically shuts off until the gas is pressed once more. This makes the second top reason to purchase a hybrid vehicle a very appealing reason.

The third top reason for purchasing a hybrid vehicle is the fact that the government will issue tax incentives to people who own a hybrid vehicle. These tax incentives can give you as much as approximately $3500.00! That is a large cut for simply choosing to purchase a hybrid vehicle. The reason that the government offers this type of tax incentive is that you are preserving oil, gas, and the environment.

As you can see, there are many top reasons to purchase a hybrid vehicle. Not only does purchasing a hybrid vehicle benefit you, but it also benefits the people around you. It benefits the government, the nation as a whole, and the environment. If you have the opportunity to purchase a hybrid vehicle, it is one of the wisest investments that you could ever make. Purchase a hybrid vehicle, and we all win in the end!

When purchasing a hybrid vehicle, it is important to understand that every component of the hybrid vehicle is created with precision and to the overall advantage of the hybrid vehicle. The tires on the hybrid vehicle are even designed especially for the overall efficiency of the hybrid vehicle. The tires on the hybrid vehicle are known as “low-rolling”. It is important to select these types of tires for your hybrid vehicle should it become necessary to replace your tires.

Many people may have heard of the “low-rolling” tire, but may not know exactly what it means. Basically, the tires for the hybrid vehicle have this name based on how they move along the road. In the case of the “low-rolling” tires, the tires move easily on the road, or roll easily, and replace the rough roll that most tires experience while on the roadway. There are many benefits when it comes to “low-rolling” tires. This is why it is essential to choose this type of tire for your hybrid vehicle.

The main benefit to “low-rolling” tires is that they preserve the overall energy used by the vehicle. Other benefits of this particular type of tire include the fact that they are extremely stable when it comes to traction. They are also very durable and can maneuver easily through all types of road conditions. Many people are reluctant to choose this type of tire for their hybrid vehicle, but there is no reason to be. This type of tire has been tested and approved to be one of the best tire choices that are available for consumer purchase.

Now, you may be curious as to what makes these types of tires so efficient. The fact is that the tire company that creates these types of tires works hard to produce the tires with a light material. Most tires are produced with heavy and thick materials. This is not the case with “low-rolling” tires. They are created in such a way that efficiency is the main goal. In addition, the overall design of the tire is altered and given a new design to ensure that tires are as energy efficient and unique as possible. In addition to this, “low-rolling” tires are produced in a way that requires no air pressure. This means that the need to change your tire should something happen to them just became obsolete.

Naturally, “low-rolling” tires will pose more of an initial expense than standard tires. However, they quickly make up for the initial expense. It is very important to choose this type of tire for your hybrid vehicle to ensure that you are maximizing the energy efficiency of your vehicle overall. It may cost a few extra dollars in the beginning, but these types of tires for your hybrid vehicle will produce a profit of more than a few dollars each in no time at all! Do not hesitate, get the right tires for your hybrid vehicle today!
