How Car Suspensions Work!

By Justin Lofton

The suspension of a car is actually part of the chassis, which comprises all of the important systems located beneath the car's body. This is the most common type of spring and is, in essence, a heavy-duty torsion bar coiled around an axis. Coil springs compress and expand to absorb the motion of the wheels. This type of spring consists of several layers of metal (called "leaves") bound together to act as a single unit. Leaf springs were first used on horse-drawn carriages and were found on most American automobiles until 1985. They are still used today on most trucks and heavy-duty vehicles.

Torsion bars use the twisting properties of a steel bar to provide coil-spring-like performance. This is how they work: One end of a bar is anchored to the vehicle frame. The other end is attached to a wishbone, which acts like a lever that moves perpendicular to the torsion bar. When the wheel hits a bump, vertical motion is transferred to the wishbone and then, through the levering action, to the torsion bar. The torsion bar then twists along its axis to provide the spring force. European carmakers used this system extensively, as did Packard and Chrysler in the United States, through the 1950s and 1960s.

Air springs, which consist of a cylindrical chamber of air positioned between the wheel and the car's body, use the compressive qualities of air to absorb wheel vibrations. The concept is actually more than a century old and could be found on horse-drawn buggies. Air springs from this era were made from air-filled, leather diaphragms, much like a bellows; they were replaced with molded-rubber air springs in the 1930s.

The sprung mass is the mass of the vehicle supported on the springs, while the unsprung mass is loosely defined as the mass between the road and the suspension springs. The stiffness of the springs affects how the sprung mass responds while the car is being driven. Loosely sprung cars, such as luxury cars (think Lincoln Town Car), can swallow bumps and provide a super-smooth ride; however, such a car is prone to dive and squat during braking and acceleration and tends to experience body sway or roll during cornering. Tightly sprung cars, such as sports cars (think Mazda Miata), are less forgiving on bumpy roads, but they minimize body motion well, which means they can be driven aggressively, even around corners.

So, while springs by themselves seem like simple devices, designing and implementing them on a car to balance passenger comfort with handling is a complex task. And to make matters more complex, springs alone can't provide a perfectly smooth ride. Why? Because springs are great at absorbing energy, but not so good at dissipating it. Other structures, known as dampers, are required to do this.

There are air suspension systems like the Faskit that integrate into the air lines between the air springs and suspension valve box. In this way, it allows for more independent operation for each air spring individually and allows for the inflation of the springs through pressure. A pneumatic system often malfunctions. Normally, the compressor does not function as well as expected. Any holes or pores in the air spring or air ducts results in loss of the vehicles height, and subsequently ground clearance. - 21396

How Simple To Remove A Factory Car Audio

By Sally Thompson

It is typical for a factory car stereo to have many connections between various parts in a specific direction. These connections may be from the ground, speaker, memory and main power source. When a situation arises in which the car stereo has to be replaced, the wires must be disconnected carefully and may be time consuming. This makes removing a factory car stereo very difficult. To overcome this, there are adaptive harnesses available in market. This harness can be connected to original connector and the new radio in the either sides of the harness. To make the proper fitting of the latest radio, a faceplate may be used. These harnesses are inexpensive and can be afforded by anyone.

You will be requiring the following tools to remove the Factory car stereo. This includes Screwdriver set, a quarter inch drive socket and ratchet set .

In the first step the reveal-molding in the front of the dash is removed.

After the molding is removed, the next step is to remove the panel to reveal under the panel. To do this, the screws around the speedometer are removed. This goes along the bottom of upper part of dash cover. The panel on the side of the driver is removed.

The stereo bolts are then removed. There will be either two or four bolts to hold the stereo in place depending on your vehicle model. Once the bolts are located, appropriate size socket and ratchet are used to remove the located bolts by turning them counter clockwise. Then, the stereo has to be slide far enough out of the hole to see the wires behind it.

Grasp the antenna wire by placing your hand behind the stereo. The antenna wire is the one which will be a black wire and will be of approximately 1/4 inch in diameter. The location of the antenna wire will vary according to each vehicle. Then, the stereo has to be hold using the other hand. Once holding the stereo, pull the antenna wire firmly to disconnect it.

In order to disconnect the power, the power plug to the stereo has to be located. The plug will generally have two colored wires namely red and yellow wire running to it. Using one hand, grasp one side of the plug while grasping the other side of the plug with your other hand. Once grasping the plug, squeeze them and pull them at the same time.

Hence by following the above directions, removing a factory car stereo becomes easy and can be done by any person with enough knowledge of dash covers and connections of stereos. - 21396

Limousine Styles - Selecting a Modern, Unique or Antique Model for Your Special Event

By Stephen Daniels

Hiring a limousine for weddings, proms, or just a night out on the town, is becoming increasingly popular. Limousines can make anyone feel like a celebrity on their special day or night. But why not add some unique flair to your day with one of the less common vehicles available from many limousine services? The array of models available, ranging from the ultramodern to the vintage antique and everything in between, allows you to choose a vehicle that really expresses your personality, setting the tone for your event in style.

One of the most popular options is the classic stretch limo, a modified luxury sedan. Most of these cars feature room for six passengers, while super stretch versions can accommodate more. Lincoln Town Car limos are perhaps the best known, but Chrysler 300M versions offer another elegant option. Nearly any luxury sedan you can think of has been modified into a limo form, including Infiniti, Mercedes, BMW, Bentley and many more.

For something with a little more passenger space and room to stretch out, SUV limousines are an excellent option. Many people prefer the SUV look to make the statement that they desire. Some of the models you might find include the distinctive Hummer H2, elegant Lincoln Navigator or bling-worthy Cadillac Escalade models.

For those in search of something flashier, a Corvette limousine might be the perfect option. Combining the sports car feel with the comfort of a limo could make you the talk of the town. Prowlers, Chargers and other sports cars have been converted into limos as well. For an even more unique statement, Ferrari and Porsche limos may be available. However, these models are fairly rare and aren't likely offered for hire cheaply.

For a truly unique, vintage feel, you might opt for an antique limousine model. Some specialty companies offer carefully maintained, well preserved classic cars such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Packard, Excalibur and others that date from the 1920s through the 60s. You may find classic cars that have been recently modified as well, creating limos with vintage style yet luxurious, modern interiors.

Are you looking for something even larger than an SUV? While you could always hire more than one limo, it might be even better to get a limo bus! These luxurious parties on wheels are not like a traditional motor coach at all. Many can carry up to 40 or 50 people and typically offer all of the features of an exclusive nightclub. They often have full standup bars, luxurious lounge seats or couches and plush carpet, and some even offer room to dance.

The custom features of today's luxury interiors go way beyond comfortable seats and a mini bar. You can find limos with options like plasma televisions, state-of-the-art sound systems, and even fireplaces. Many limousine services offer customized options, such as top of the line audio systems, fully stocked bars, and special features like fancy lighting and glass roofs for viewing the night sky. Are you in the mood for a swim or hot tub soak as you ride around town? These features are becoming increasingly available as well.

Now that you're aware of the many vehicle options that may be available, you're better equipped to hire a limousine service that can provide the vehicle of your dreams, adding your own special touch to your special day or night. - 21396

Ways On How To Extend The Life Of Your Car

By Rick Sampson

The automobile is one of the greatest inventions by man. I know that was a long time ago but without it, this world would be different. But what most people don't realize is that those cars don't come cheap when they are busted. There are parts to the car that really should be taken care of. If these parts of the car were to break down they would cost a lot of money. So here are some parts you really need to take care of.

The transmission is the first major part of your car you need to take good care of. This part of the car assists in changing gears. But it is also the part that usually costs a lot when it goes bad. It is one of the costlier repairs in my auto repair shop. The best way to care for this part is to make sure it always has good fluid in it. Also you need to shift gears gently.

The engine is the next part that is very costly to diagnose and repair. Of course most people pay particular attention to the engine because without it, the car won't run. In my auto repair I always give advice to my clients to maintain their engine. The main way to do that is to make sure you always change the oil. If you do that then it will continually run good.

The brakes is another part which is very costly to repair. As small as this part may seem, it is also very costly to replace. In my transmission repair shop this is the most common repair that comes in.

To make sure that this part is in tiptop shape you have to make sure there is always brake fluid. You also want to extend your brakes by just tapping on it gently and treating it well.

Those are some parts that when they break are too expensive to fix. So follow these simple do's and dont's and your car will run smoothly for a long time. - 21396
