I Will Need An Expensive Alignment Kit If I Install Lowering Springs On ...

                      

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- According to Eibach, a leader in spring engineering and production.
- Most vehicles do not require an alignment kit after installing a set of lowering springs that result in mild lowering of about an inch.

All Vehicles Need A Four-Wheel Alignment.

                      

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- All four wheels should be checked for alignment, but many vehicles will not require an adjustment in the rear.
- In this case the front is merely referenced to the rear, providing the same benefit at a lower cost.

Is It True That If The Steering Wheel Shakes The Alignment Is Out?

                         

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Batteries disintegrate over time, this is due to the acid slowly decaying the components within the battery. 
- How long a battery last depends on a number of factors including, the initial construction of the battery, the climate in which the vehicle is operated, how often the vehicle is used and if the battery and vehicle have been maintained.

New Valve Stems Are An Unnecessary Expense When Buying New Tires.

                        
 THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Since air is a gas, it expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
- When temperatures are getting colder your tires' inflation pressure  is goes down.
- Hence, tire pressure should be raised slightly as cold temperatures cause a loss of tire pressure.

A battery will not explode

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- There two types of battery explosions external and internal.
- The most probable cause is from a combination of low electrolyte levels in the battery and a low resistance bridge formed between or across the top of the plates called "treeing" between a positive and negative plate.
- A second possible cause is a defect in the weld of one of the plate connecting straps.

When Replacing Only Two Tires, The New Ones Go On The Front.



Uneven Wear On A Tire Means Tire Is Defective.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- Improper inflation pressure for the load being carried, lack of rotation at recommended intervals and mechanical conditions like worn or damaged suspension parts and poor wheel alignment indicate uneven wear on a tire
- In rare instances, it can indicate a problem within the tire structure. In all cases, it should be examined by an authorized tire service person so that the cause can be corrected.

My Tire Just Blew Out For No Reason; It Must Be Defective.

                   

My tire just blew out for no reason; it must be defective.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- In most circumstances, the source of air loss is something cutting, puncturing or bursting the tread or sidewall of a tire.
- Blow outs also happen because people don't check for damage and drive on tires with huge egg like growths on the tire walls and cuts so deep in them you can see the ply structure underneath.
- Overheated under inflated tires can also be one of the reasons.

If The Brake Fluid Is Low, Filling It Will Fix The Problem.

                    

If the brake fluid is low, filling it will fix the problem.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Brake fluid isn't like most other fluids in your car, it doesn't get used up as you drive and is intended to increase the hydraulic pressure of your brakes.
- Having low brake fluid usually means one of two things--either the brake pads/shoes are very low or there's a leak in the system.
- Either way the car needs maintenance, and filling the brake fluid back up will do relatively little good.

When Replacing Only Two Tires, The New Ones Go On The Front.

              



When replacing only two tires, the new ones go

THIS IS NOT TRUE!


- Retreaded tires can be used on steer axles, EXCEPT on passenger buses.

- In some applications, retreaded tires are a substantial cost- and energy-saving

- Alternative to new tire steer tires without any loss of performance or safety.

Inflate Tires To The Pressure Shown On The Tire's Sidewall.


  
Inflate tires to the pressure shown on the tire's sidewall. 

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- The pounds-per-square-inch figure on the side of the tire is the maximum pressure that the tire can safely hold, not the automaker's recommended pressure, which provides the best balance of braking, handling, gas mileage, and ride comfort.
- That figure is usually found on a doorjamb sticker, in the glove box, or on the fuel-filler door.
- Perform a monthly pressure check when tires are cold or after the car has been parked for a few hours.

Using Synthetic Oil Voids The Car Warranty

               

Using synthetic oil voids the car warranty 

- Unless the car manual says synthetic oil should not be used in the vehicle. 
- As long as the synthetic oil meets the requirements in the vehicle manual it is safe to use without jeopardizing the warranty. 




There Are Certain Driving Conditions Where Retreaded Tires Should Not Be...

                    

There are certain driving conditions where retreaded tires should not be driven.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- Retreaded tires can be driven wherever comparable new tires can be driven. 
- The only restriction is on the steer axle of buses hauling passengers.

Is Everything Is Replaced When The Transmission Is Rebuild?

                     

Is everything replaced inside the transmission when the transmission is rebuild?

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- How much does it cost to just replace everything? 
- This is one of most common questions we hear. No none replaces everything with new.
- Beware when someone says this to you. If everything is replaced it is a brand new transmission

What Gear Should I Drive My Car On?

                 

What Gear Should I Drive My Car On? .

Drive cars with automatic transmissions around town in "3" and save "D" for the highway.
THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- The original idea was that drivers needed to lock out the highest gear for more responsive performance in stop-and-go driving.
- Most modern vehicles employ transmissions that are quick to kick down into a lower gear, so driving without the topmost gear around town only lowers gas mileage.

Is Thicker Fiberglass Better?

                    


Is thicker fiberglass better?
THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- Thickness does not necessarily equal strength. There are many other factors from materials to manufacturing techniques that come into play. 
- Some of the cheap low-quality kits are made of thick strong fiberglass.
- This can be a disadvantage as the overly rigid part is harder to install, especially if the fitment is even slightly off.
