How Noise, Vibration And Harshness Driveline Diagnostics Is Changing
This article will introduce you to some of the basic terminology and testing techniques used in modern NVH diagnostics.
Selling TPMS: Best Practices For Proper Service
The most important aspect of servicing tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) is looking through the eyes of the customer. Unlike some skeptical people on our side of the counter, most drivers like the benefits of tire pressure monitoring. Besides giving them peace of mind, TPMS has probably saved them money by increasing fuel mileage or allowing them to save a punctured tire.
Modern Vehicle Diagnosis And Repair
Even with all these modern tools, techniques and scanners, there are still problems that occur because of previous work performed incorrectly. The difference is how the computers in modern cars interpret incorrect parts or faulty workmanship.

Preventing Wheel Bearing Failure
Most manufacturers recommend lubrication at 24,000 miles for the front-wheel bearings on rear-wheel drive vehicles, but bearings often are not lubricated until the brakes are replaced. That means bearings may go nearly twice as long as recommended before being relubricated, which can lead to problems.

Wheel Bearings: Measurement and Torque
Wheel bearings are either of the ball or tapered roller variety. Front wheel bearing applications are an angular-type ball bearing, which will accept greater thrust loads than a Conrad-type bearing, and will accept a 100 percent load in the radial or thrust position and any combination of a 100 percent load. A tapered roller bearing
