Carlos FoxPublished 5 years ago in WheelA to Z About Wheel Alignment Problems! Know It All Here!
If you want your vehicle to be operating perfectly, you need all four wheels to be setup in such a way that all of them are in a straight line when the steering wheel is in the straight position. This is the basic mechanism behind wheel alignment. But, quite opposite to the name, it has very little to do with the wheels. It’s more to do with your vehicle’s suspension system. And you will be surprised to know how easily your wheel can get knocked out of the line leading to a lower vehicle performance. But no worries, we have both the symptoms and solutions right here!

I had a coworker who was a terrible driver—and honestly, I think he was actually proud of it, too. He had his license suspended after driving his BMW at the breakneck speed of 130 miles per hour on the Garden State Parkway. If I remember correctly, he crashed his car and somehow didn't die.

Iggy PaulsenPublished 5 years ago in WheelThe Safest Car Designs Ever Made
Driving a car is something that we all do on a daily basis, but we sometimes get sloppy. With the safest car designs, you could reduce the risk of bodily harm and death in a crash. There are some vehicle designs that are made better than others. Between the crash ratings put out by the Institute for Highway Safety and your own preference, finding a car that works for you shouldn’t be hard. Nowadays, it’s a lot harder to buy a car that is not safe. There are a lot of requirements that a passenger car has to hit for it to be available on the market.

Arnold SeleskeyPublished 5 years ago in WheelThe 10 Most Expensive Ford Cars Ever Made
Ford has been a household name in cars and trucks since Henry Ford introduced America to the Model T back in 1908. To this day, Ford is the top selling American car manufacturer by a wide margin. In fact, roughly one in every seven cars sold in in the United States is a Ford. A major aspect of Ford's image is as a vehicle for the working man: A contractor carrying his tools in the back of a truck or a father going on a fishing trip with his kids. There is another side to Ford's lineup, however, and that is in the ultra rare and ultra high end market of sports cars. Beyond the Ford Mustang, some of the most expensive Ford cars are one-off collaborations or concept cars, which range from iconic vehicles of the 60s to modern, high performance productions.
Joseph D. N. KendrickPublished 5 years ago in WheelHow Often Should You Have a Routine Maintenance Performed?
Believe it or not, millennials are more likely than any other generation to get regular maintenance performed on their cars. This generation may catch a lot of hate for "killing" industries, but one thing's for sure, they know how to take care of their cars. So if you want to be as good of a car owner as millennials, follow one rule. Every time you treat yo’ yourself, you really should treat yo’ car as well. What I mean by this is, always be sure you're checking up on a different part of your car. Check the oil, check your tires, check fluids, breaks, windows etc. If you are always checking in with your car, you will be sure to find damage before it gets bad and breaks the bank. If that’s not something you’re into, follow general maintenance timelines for your vehicle.
