Priority #2: Proper maintenance on potential things that could leave you stranded or cause other components such as the engine to fail. This includes radiator hoses, fuel lines, constant velocity (CV) joints, clutch fan and timing belts.

Suspension dampers For some reason, drivers in hot weather states like Florida ignore their cooling systems more than you would expect. Talk to mechanics in Florida and many will tell you that overheating is the #1 repair they have to deal with. Overheating the car even one time can destroy an engine by warping engine parts like head gaskets and rings. This happens especially if the engine has aluminum parts, which are more sensitive to high heat fluctuations than the old cast iron models. Since we are talking about older cars in this resource guide, it’s not certain if your engine would have aluminum in it or not.

Rain contains high levels of acid that disintegrate the paint work on the exterior of the car, as well as leave ugly water-marks. It can also cause the frame-work to rust with time. Snow has the same effect, only it causes the car, and consequently the brakes too, to freeze over. Frozen brakes are a hazard as they will not work effectively enough, and this is dangerous.

f150 parts The wheel rim design has been changed for the good. The dashboard is again simple and plain but given in 2 tone colours. It has been given with a stiff chassis that makes the driving experience all the more enjoyable. The colours in which the New Alto is available are Blue Blaze, Ecru Beige, Superior White, Fire Brick Red, Silky Silver and Midnight Black. The design patterns and the colour scheme have worked magically on the car.

Garages are very dusty places. Often they are used to store old bits of junk, aside from the car, and this only causes more dust. The dust particles float around the garage, and invariably, the car gets full of it. Nobody likes to have a dusty, worn out looking car. For those keeping it in the garage, it will come as a shock, as they thought the car was ok.

car shocks absorbers Manual transmissions don’t use transmission fluid… they use a 90W gear oil which generally doesn’t need to be changed very often. But keep your clutch adjusted properly with a little bit of freeplay at the top, and don’t “ride the clutch”. Be very careful about resting your foot on the clutch pedal as the weight of the foot can partially depress the pedal, and start to reach the edge of engagement, and this will wear out your clutch’s throw-out bearing very quickly.

A better impression of the condition of the shocks is acquired by driving the car. You can recognize bad shocks while driving by pitching of the vehicle after a long bump and a bouncing motion after a brief bump. Assess the overall comfort and stability while driving. The vehicle must not be jumpy and / or feel unstable. In corners, the vehicle should not lean too much.

Something as simple as misaligned wheels could be causing the shakes you’re feeling while driving. Take your vehicle in to a local repair shop and have the wheels aligned.
