Lightweight Brake Components
Engineering teams have certain goals that they need to meet or exceed.
Decrypting Brake Pad Edge Codes
Learning the cryptic codes on the brake pad or shoe will tell you a lot of information.
Gen 1 Wheel Bearings
Removing and installing these bearings requires the correct tools and patience.
Tesla Air Ride Service
Tesla’s air suspension is “smart” because it uses GPS information and vehicle speed to adjust suspension ride height.
What Do The Marketing Messages Mean?
Certain messages mean certain things – or not. When selecting automotive components, do your homework.
Adjusting Parking Brakes
You should never estimate when it comes to parking brake adjustments.
Servicing Multi-Piston Brake Calipers
Caliper replacement may be necessary in high-mileage vehicles because of fluid leaks or because the calipers are sticking.
Wheel Bearings
Higher quality wheel bearings use higher quality steel that is properly heat treated.
EV Brake Jobs
With these vehicles, the major aggravation for shops is brake noise and uneven brake pad wear.
Understanding Passive Wheel Speed Sensor Operation
Passive types of wheel speed sensors are still used in many applications so understanding their operation is important.
Dodge Ram 1500 Alignment Specs
Understanding how ride height influences alignment angles and aerodynamics.
Wheel Bearing Noise and Damage
If the impact is great enough, the preload on a bearing can change. This can lead to more damage and noise in the long run.
