Maneuverability – Maneuverability is the measure of how well a vehicle can turn, accelerate, and brake. It is an important factor for drivers, especially in harsh driving conditions.
Offset – The offset of a car is the perpendicular distance between the centerline of the wheel and the hub. It is used to determine the correct position of the wheel and its fitment on the car.
Overdrive – Overdrive is a transmission that allows the engine to run at a lower speed while keeping the vehicle moving at a higher speed. This helps to improve fuel economy and reduce engine noise.
Panhard Rod – A Panhard rod is a suspension link that connects the left and right sides of the car’s rear suspension, allowing the chassis to pivot around a longitudinal axis.
Pinion Gear – A pinion gear is a small gear that is mounted to the end of the driveshaft and is used to engage and drive the larger gears. It is typically used in rear-wheel drive vehicles.
Q-Rack - A Q-Rack is a type of suspension system designed to improve the handling of a vehicle by dampening the road surface beneath it. It uses telescopic arms to reduce body motion and improve cornering.
Rack and Pinion Steering – Rack and pinion steering is a configuration of steering system which uses a rack, mounted to the frame, that is connected to the steering shaft by a set of pinion gears.
Radiator – The radiator is the main cooling system of the engine, responsible for transporting heat away from the engine to the ambient air outside the vehicle.
Stability Control System – Stability control is an electronic system designed to improve the driving stability of a vehicle. It allows the car to adjust its speed in order to maintain control in difficult driving conditions.
Suspension – Suspension is the system used to connect the wheels of a vehicle to its body, allowing it to remain in contact with the ground and to absorb any bumps or vibrations.
Traction Control System – Traction control is an electronic system designed to improve the acceleration of a vehicle by limiting the acceleration of the wheels if there is insufficient grip from the road surface.
U-Joint – A U-joint is a flexible coupling that is used to connect two rotating components such as the driveshaft and rear axle. It allows the components to move independently as the vehicle travels.
Wheel Alignment – Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the wheels of a vehicle to ensure they are at the correct angle relative to the road. This is to ensure a smooth and safe ride.
Wheel Bearing – A wheel bearing is a device that allows the wheel to rotate freely on its axle. It is located between the hub and the bearing races and reduces friction to ensure a smooth and quiet ride.
Yolk – A yolk is a type of coupling used to connect the driveshaft to the differential. It helps to transfer the engine power to the wheels and helps to reduce vibrations within the transmission system.
