Alternators Gone Bad.

It happens if you own your vehicle long enough.  You turn the key, and instead of firing up the engine, all you hear are rapid clicks.  Is your battery dead?  Maybe, but the same situation could happen again with a new battery, if you miss signs of a failing alternator.  An alternator charges the battery while the vehicle is running.  

Here are some symptoms of a failing alternator –

1.  Dimming or flickering lights

2.  Odd noises…usually coming from the serpentine belt

3.  The engine stalls

4.  The dreaded “check engine light” goes on and STAYS on

Hey Mom, it’s a Bouncy Castle!

Wonderful words to hear from your children, aren’t they?  They are not so wonderful when referring to your car.  There’s nothing scarier than feeling like you can’t control your vehicle while you’re driving it around Kansas City.  A vehicle that sways and bounces excessively while in motion is disturbing for the driver, and also very dangerous!

Here are some causes for the bouncing –

1.  Your car’s wheels are not aligned.

2.  The tires are worn at different intervals.

3.  The rack bushings are either too tight or too loose (you don’t want loose rack bushings!)

4.  The struts have simply worn out.

Here is an idea.  Visit ableautoservice.net on the web.  Then click on the shocks/struts tab on the website.  See?  The best people in the Kansas City area to visit when you are bouncing about are members of the A-Team at Able Auto Service.  They are conveniently located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Call for an appointment at (913) 321-1030.
