What are stabilizer bar bushings and why are they important? One of the most under-appreciated yet incredibly important mechanical components hiding underneath our vehicles is the stabilizer bar bushings. Located on the undercarriage of your vehicle and engineered to reduce road noise, absorb bumps and cracks in roads and deliver a softer ride, the stabilizer […]
MEANING OF BAR BUSHING Stabilizer bar bushings are rubber bushings designed to isolate the steel stabilizer bar from the vehicle frame and suspension. The stabilizer bar itself is typically connected to the lower control arms or another suspension component. Through a twisting action, the bar counteracts vehicle lean as you turn around a corner. What […]
What are the different types of oil pumps? There are two main types of oil pump in use. Both use metal gears for longevity and the ability to pump against high pressures. Rotor type pumps are the most common. Sometimes called gerotors, or trochoidal pumps . The pump has two gears – one inner gear, […]
What is the purpose of an oil pump? For other uses, see Oil pump. The oil pump in an internal combustion engine part that circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings and also […]
MEANING OF OIL PUMP The oil pump is an internal combustion engine part that circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings and also assists in cooling the engine.Most oil pumps are driven directly […]
MEANING OF TIE ROD A tie rod or tie bar is a slender structural unit used as a tie and capable of carrying tensile loads only. It is any rod or bar-shaped structural member designed to prevent the separation of two parts, as in a vehicle. A tie rod is a device that links your […]
Where is the ball joint located? The ball joint is found at the wheel, with one end connected to the steering knuckle and the other the control arm. Automotive ball joints are most common in the front suspension. However, vehicles that use rear or four-wheel steering will have ball joints in the rear as well. […]
MEANING OF BALL JOINT The ball joint is a suspension component that forms the connection between a vehicle’s control arms and the steering knuckles. As such, it acts as a pivot point for the wheels and suspension. Virtually every automobile manufactured today will have ball joints, which makes these components one of the most common […]
