Why Leafsprings Break and When to Replace Them — Automotive Parts Suppliers

 Share

Leafsprings are a significant component in a car’s suspension system.  They’re proven durable and effective at carrying a vehicle’s load and ensuring passenger comfort.

They’re under a lot of pressure

However, leafsprings do deteriorate and break – usually as a result of poor quality or wrong usage. Worn and sagging springs, especially when aggravated by heavy load, result in lowered chassis height for a vehicle, putting extra pressure on the tires and making it more difficult to maneuver the car.

What to do when your Vehicle Overheats — Automotive Parts Suppliers

Breaking down in the middle of the road is not an ideal way to get that 15minutes of fame. Waiting for a cutie to assist you on your roadside blues is nothing short of a dream either. Here are some quick fire ways to resuscitate an overheated radiator:

Lets pop the hood and let loose some steam!

1. Check to see if steam is escaping from the radiator cap. Replace when necessary.

2. Slowly open the radiator cap to gradually let loose some steam. It is not wise to open it all at one go. Think of it as a shaken bottle of soda. You’d want to avoid the fizz coming out of that.

3. Check the water levels. If needed, fill the radiator with distilled water as ordinary tap water contains minerals that can build up and cause blockages in the system.

Usher Buys Justin Bieber A Car?

Is this for real? Justin Bieber might be a teen heartthrob, the popular singer of the song "Baby" (see the above music video) and be the man of the moment on the pop scene, but things got even better for the teen after Usher bought him a brand new Range Rover car!?? Bieber turned 16 earlier this month and marked the occasion by having a huge party with all his friends in Los Angeles, but his Sweet Sixteenth was marked by his mentor Usher when the Yeah! hitmaker unveiled a brand new Range Rover for the teen.

"I haven't really bought anything; I haven't really went out and bought a bunch of stuff," Bieber told JSYK. "I bought myself a laptop, but that's pretty much it. My biggest thing I'm probably going to get is my car next year. Probably a Maserati or the new Range Rover." When the Canadian pop singer recently dropped by the British TV show Live From Studio Five, he revealed that Usher hooked him up with a brand-new Range Rover for his sweet 16. "I was in L.A (for my birthday)," he said. "I went to L.A. first and I had a party out there for all my friends and stuff and then we went to Toronto and had a family party up there. (Usher) helped buy me a car. He bought me a Range Rover. I can drive."

Escort Passport iQ marries GPS with radar detector

by Jeff Glucker


Escort has released its brand-new Passport iQ automotive accessory. We would call this a radar detector, but it appears to be much more than that. The Passport iQ, in addition to detecting radar and laser, has a built-in GPS unit, Bluetooth connectivity, red light and speed camera notifications, speed limit information and live traffic updates. All of this information is displayed on a five-inch, full-color touchscreen.

The price of the Passport iQ is $649.95, which, assuming it works as advertised, is peanuts compared to a few speeding tickets and a bump in car insurance rates. Escort offers the unit on a trial basis for free, for 30 days. It also comes with a 90-day free trial subscription to Escort's Defender Database, which comes loaded with thousands of speed trap locations.
