Keeping a Grip on the Road – Suspension & Shock Absorbers

The maintenance of the shock absorbers in good condition is essential for operating safety of automotive vehicles and improves the driving comfort of the vehicle. The vibrations occurring in vehicle wheels and body are eliminated or significantly reduced by shock absorbing elements. Their task consists in damping of vibrations generated in the vehicles suspension system. […]
Brake Fluid Testing – Get accurate results, FAST.

Brake fluid is designed to have a high boiling point, to withstand the high temperatures generated during braking. The one major drawback, due to its chemical composition- it absorbs moisture. This can be moisture from the air (via the breather hole in the master cylinder cap) or via the rubber hosing. The more moisture in […]
The Brake Triangle – Fault warnings you shouldn’t ignore
