posted on 5/5/2020 3:28:54 PM

How to Protect Your Tires Against Common Road Debris

posted on 2/14/2020 10:20:29 AM
Good tires are not cheap, so it is important that you do everything you can to extend the life of your tires. Because a vehicle’s tires are the first point of contact, road hazards such as small rocks, trash, debris, and salt and chemicals can be hazardous while driving. Attempting to avoid the debris is dangerous when driving because — both visually and mentally — it is hard to process the hazard level of an object in the few seconds a driver has to react. Drivers who encounter road debris,...

5 Common Power Steering Problems

posted on 1/15/2020 6:57:58 AM
In order to reduce the need for effort from the driver to steer the vehicle, engines incorporate a system referred to as “power steering.” This is a hydraulic system which uses power steering fluid to build pressure which is then used to change the direction of the wheels. This means you don’t need to arm wrestle with your steering wheel when trying to take a turn.   When your car’s power steering system begins to fail — or the fluid needs to be replaced — it can make it much harder to co...
