Does your car corner like a boat? You know. That feeling you get where everybody leans away from the turn as one side of the car dips and the other rises? The problem is you either have no sway bar or a very weak one. Every car pitches when it goes into a corner. The pitch represents the number of degrees the car tilts when it turns. The higher the pitch, the more the car is considered to roll. In general, roll is not good. It is uncomfortable...more
Your car would be mighty useless if you couldn't select the direction you wanted to go. Steering seems like a basic concept, but many car owners are completely baffled when asked how the steering process actually works. The answer is found in the steering linkage. What is the steering linkage and how does it let you take command of the direction of your car? The steering linkage is a phrase that simply refers to the entire steering system. There are different systems used on cars, but the rack and pinion system is one of the more common so we'll choose it for the discussion in this article. The rack and pinion steering linkage is comprised of seven basic parts depending on how you count the components. They are the steering wheel, steering shaft, pinion, rack, tie rod, control arm and wheel. These parts form a mechanical extension from your arm input to the wheel.

You take your car out for a drive and enjoy the experience of driving it. You may wonder what more can be done to improve its performance.

Often this improvement is done by making the car performance better suited to your needs.One such product is lowering springs. These springs lower the center of gravity of your car and therefore make the ride more stable. But you ask how can they lower the center of gravity of the car. And if it is better to have a lower center of gravity why was it high in the first place?A modern car is not mounted directly on the wheels that carry the car. It were the car passengers would experience as rough a ride as the wheels do. Which is not a smooth ride at all. Therefore the car is mounted on shock absorbers. In their simplest form car shock absorbers are springs. And when the car wheel goes over a small stone and lifts up the car does not lift up as much because the...more
