A Spring Maintenance And Auto Repair Checklist

If there's a split-axle design, the wheel on each side of the axle is attached to a separate shaft. Most of the modern passenger cars have split drive axles. In some of these designs, this can usually allow for independent suspension of the left and the right wheels - this gives you a smoother ride. Say the suspension isn't independent, the split axles permit the use of something called a differential; this lets the left and right drive wheels be driven at different speeds as the car turns - this will improve traction & can even extend your tire life! This means you don't have to spend as much money for new tires.

You hold in your hand a major innovation. As you will see, it is based on the soundest of scientific principles. But because it is so dramatically different from "conventional wisdom," it is consistently, and understandably, greeted with skepticism.

I know I said that four-strokes have dominated the pro motocross and supercross scene the past several years, but that doesn't mean people don't buy two-strokes anymore. In fact, riders are realizing how expensive four-stroke motocross bikes can be if there is a major failure, so they're moving back (or to) two-strokes. Don't fool yourself, the 125 two-stroke is a very fast bike, even stock, when properly tuned. When James Stewart entered the pro-scene on a 125, his lap-times were often as fast or faster than a lot of the 250cc riders because he knew how to ride his KX125 so well. He continued to beat four-strokes in 2004 when 250F's started becoming "the bike" to race, so you know the bikes wasn't lacking, that much.

Follow the rules at all times. Of course, always follow your state's laws on driving and traffic. Be aware about when you can drive and/or with whom. If you don't abide by the rules and you get caught by the police, you can lose your license. Also, know the speed limit of the road you are driving on. And as a general safety rule, keep a safe distance between you and the next car in front of you.

The Tiptronic gear box has been ditched and the PDK double clutch 7 speed semi automatic gear box put in its place. Porsche say it improves performance and drivability.

This leaves most Independent Rear Suspension cars of today, with nothing but positive characteristics.

Women, men and children will enjoy the ride more with these additional features. These features will give greater control over the bike as you ride through the rockiest areas. There are some drawbacks to this type of bike, however. Because of the additional features, these types of bikes are heavier. For people doing a lot of uphill riding or racing this can be a big deal.

8) Changes should be performed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles on average. In the old days, 3,000 miles was the hard and fast rule. This has changed today as car manufacturers have redesigned the mechanical systems to require fewer servicing replacements.
