Our Tips for Replacing a Front Wheel Bearing: a Step-By-Step Guide

Wheel bearings are one of those car parts which can take a lot of beating since regular inspection only happens around every 48,000 km. But regardless of that, the front pair of bearings is usually the one to go first since it gets affected the most by the steering and the way to be certain about it is to jack up your car and try to rock each wheel holding it by its 12 and 6 o’clock sides. While a little bit of play means that you only need to adjust it, if you hear noises, then replacing it is inevitable, but luckily it is something that you can do yourself too.

Tips For Buying Aftermarket Exhausts: Factors That Impact Price

Aftermarket exhausts are one of the most popular modifications performed on vehicles whose owners are looking for ways to add extra power and mileage to their ride without breaking their bank. But in order to get the most value out of an aftermarket exhaust system, you need to make sure you get the right one for the application. This will depend on several different factors, including your budget. The expense factors include the number of pipes (single vs. dual exhaust systems), materials (mild vs. aluminised vs stainless steel), the pipe-bending techniques used, and the speciality coating. Further, the price will depend on how much of your stock exhaust system you want to replace. Some aftermarket exhaust system kits replace more stock exhaust parts than others, which will ultimately impact not just the price, but the gains you get from it as well.

Our Tips for Muffler Maintenance & How to Find the Ideal One for Your Car

Typically, exhaust systems are made from a lot of parts which play a different role in making the vehicle perform at its best and get rid of pollutant gasses as fast as possible, with just one exception – the muffler. A muffler doesn’t filter harmful particles nor does it improve performance, but it has another important task – to minimize the noises that your vehicle’s engine produces. In other words, it makes your vehicle less annoying to other people by silencing or rather muffling the otherwise loud discharge of pressure coming through it. If you’re in need of one, there are quite a lot of options to choose from on the market. Here’s a bit of help on the matter.
