Wheel Alignment = Suspension Alignment.

Did you think that those were two different things?  Well, a wheel alignment is actually a suspension alignment which involves fine-tuning the angles of the suspension system so the wheels are literally pointed in the right direction.  It’s always beneficial to have your car’s wheels pointed in the right direction!

A wheel alignment isn’t usually listed as a regular maintenance item, but there are a few times it should be checked: when suspension parts are replaced, if there are obvious signs of misalignment (such as the steering wheel being cocked to one side when the vehicle is going straight), or if the vehicle consistently pulls to one side.

Wheel alignments may not be as vital as say, oil changes, but now and again they are absolutely necessary.  Where can you get a reliable wheel alignment in Kansas City without going to a tire store?  Well, how about Able Auto Service at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  The A-Team is always standing by to help.  Call for an appointment at (913) 321-1030.

Smoke Gets in your Eyes.

For an older generation this may be one of their favorite songs (maybe our boss, Rob listened to it when he was a kid!).  Leaks can present troubles for vehicle owners, but not all leaks are fluid leaks.  Some leaks can be gas or air leaks.  Unmeasured air flow through your engine throws off the fuel to air ratio.

A smoke leak test is a series of tests that will provide information on possible leaks present under the hood of your car in the vacuum systems.  The vacuum systems will be tested using a smoke leak test.  This test can determine if any piping in the vacuum system in your engine has a leak…enough said!
