it is a car, truck, or even motorcycle, every one of them has a suspension system, but the type of suspension system all depends on the type of the vehicle. Besides the normal every day cars, there are many other vehicle types that people like to buy to play around with, such as dirt bikes and go karts. To make the best ride, an independent suspension system is the best choice. There are many different types of independent suspension systems, but the double wishbone, or A-arm system, and the Macpherson

Relatively new technology, the sequential gearbox has been applied mostly in ATV’s, motorcycles, and the automobile racing industry. Recently this technology has begun to reach passenger cars. There are three main points of discussion; the workings of a manual transmission, how a sequential gearbox works and the advantages of them, and the applications of it today. The sequential
Safety technology in vehicles “Prepare and prevent, don’t repair and repent chance takers are accident makers” (Quotegarden.com). Over the years, vehicles have become safer, and have been pushed to become more advanced and helpful. Safety systems are beneficial because they help avoid accidents, such as good steering, brakes, Traction Control and ABS. Safety technology can help save lives, if the drivers know how to use it. This technology helps people drive safe, keeps you alert, and protects you
most in power and quality. They started with the B&B Eliminator and once it became a bestselling silencer for snowmobiles, they started to look at expanding into other products. The passion for performance is the driving force behind the exhaust technology that they have developed over the last ten years. Their R&D team has been working on creating a performance diesel line of exhaust products that would become the standard in the industry. Recently, MBRP Inc. brought a new sport line to the gas-powered
stressed panels fixed together. It supports all the other vehicle components, such as closures (doors, hood, deck lid), trim (seats, instrument panel), power train (engine transmission), and chassis (suspension, wheels) [1]. In definite definition according to Morello [2], BIW refers to the stage in automotive design or automobile manufacturing in which a car body's sheet metal components have been welded together but before moving parts (doors, hoods, and deck lids as well as fenders) the motor, chassis
vehicle are classified as auto components. These include electrical & electronic parts, engine & exhaust, interiors, suspension & braking, transmission & steering and body & structural parts. The USD 47 Billion auto component sector manufactures close to 20,000 parts that are required for vehicle manufacturing. The auto components industry is an integral part of the Indian automotive industry, with this industry’s growth being driven by increasing demand for vehicles, low cost manufacturing and availability
Automotive Education in High Schools Learning automotive technology is a big step into the automotive future. There are many high schools where students do not know the first thing about cars. This needs to change to help students in case they ever stumble across an automotive problem so they know what to examine and how to fix the problem by themselves. Having automotive classes in high school will not only help students know what the problem is, but it will save them money on towing and taking
it takes is faith, passion and hard work. No wonder, my passion for cars comes from my father. Cars are the ultimate symbol of independence and individualism. They offer more than freedom. No other man made creation but car fulfills a man’s ego. Technology has been the evidence of how cars have evolved for about more than a century now. From a first car packing a single cylinder 958cc, 0.75hp engine to today’s most powerful 8000cc W16, 1300bhp Veyron. We live in such an engineering savvy era where
these advancements cars were rapidly becoming tools in more Americans lives as they got better. When the United States became involved in World War II automotive development was shifted into military vehicle development to design and produce the all terrain vehicles tanks and other machines needed in the war effort. After WWII American automotive companies went back to building consumer vehicles fairly similar similar to the prewar models until
Elon Musk, Henry Ford, Christian von Koenigsegg, George W. Mason, and Felix Wankel ignore norms in order make what they think works best. In order for someone to influence the automotive world, they must make a product that betters people or ideas, is superior to competitors, and gaps a whole in price, availability, or technology. Other people that may be considered don’t bring forth any new concepts, but rather enhance preexisting ideas. Because of this, Musk, Ford, Koenigsegg, Mason, and Wankel rank
Like nearly every other professional today, automotive technicians need to be comfortable with computer-based equipment. Cars are more computerized than ever before. It takes more than just mechanical know-how and the turning of a wrench to become a certified automotive technician. Experienced technicians can work anywhere in the country along with the right mindset and attitude. Irrefutably the more educated you are, the better your opportunities are to find employment. You will also learn
The field of diesel technology is vital to society. Without it, buses, semi trucks, and many other extremely important vehicles would be useless because they could not be maintained properly. A diesel mechanic keeps all of these vehicles running and in good condition by performing preventative maintenance, and fixing things that break. They are like a normal mechanic, but their training is focused on diesel engines, because they are different than regular gasoline powered engines. Diesel mechanics

career field is very important to human civilization because people must have some kind of transportation every day for work, food, and just everyday needs (Weintraub page# 9). Schools should provide the opportunity for students to complete an automotive repair program, because students who complete these programs most likely will be given a chance to start at an entry-level position as a technician. Another advantage with these programs is that by completing recognized mechanics programs throughout
Column # 9 ECON 21 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM MW INDUSTRY: AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY One of the leading industries today is the automotive industry. The automotive industry is principally composed of a broad range of organizations and societies involved in the fabrication and sale of motor vehicles. Organizations and establishments that design and develop the different components of the vehicles are also included in this industry. The automotive industry has an oligopoly type of market structure. An oligopolistic
repairing the exterior, rebuilding the engine, reassembly, and finally, testing (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix). First, the car is completely disassembled and stripped to its chassis (Halliday, 1999). According to Gilles (2005), the chassis includes the suspension and steering systems, frame, tires, brakes, axles and wheels. Each metal part is then cleaned by stripping them off their old paint and thoroughly examined for damage or rust. Rust, dents and ripples are removed and the metals parts are refinished
The Steel is commonly used in the construction of the chassis and body panels of trucks and automobiles parts. Many reasons for steel's use in the automotive sector are steel's unique set of characteristics as a construction material. Steel consists mainly of iron with a small amount -- between 0.2 and 2.1 percent -- of carbon. Steel is very hard and strong. Steel has a very high strength to weight ratio
