    Every car has complex parts inside it, and it’s essential to know a few things about them. Of course, you can take your vehicle to a service center when something is wrong, but it helps if you know a thing or two about your car and how to fix it. If you know your car parts, the most important components, and their location; you will know how to keep your vehicle in good condition. Knowing your car parts will allow you to understand what exactly is wrong with it and whether that deserves a trip to a service center or it’s something you can easily do.

    The Important Parts That every Driver Should Know 

    Shock Absorbers

    When driving on unpaved roads, shock absorbers are the parts responsible for keeping your car stable. You can find your shock absorbers on the underside of the vehicle. When your car is not stable on an uneven road, then something is wrong with the shock absorbers, and you must visit a service center. If your car needs new shock absorbers, you can click here to find a type that matches your car. The car gurus at this website share comprehensive reviews about different brands of shock absorbers. After you purchase the suitable shock absorbers, it’s preferable to check on them every now and then to make sure that they are in good state, especially before long road trips. 

    Brakes 

    We all know that in order to stop a car, you must hit the brakes, but what you probably don’t know is how they work and what they include. The brakes consist of pads, calipers, rotors, cylinders, springs and adjusters, hoses, and cables. Usually, when something is wrong with the brakes, it’s either the pads, rotors, or calipers.

    Pads

    When you brake, the pads are the main parts that contact the rotors and cause friction to stop the car.   They wear down over time, and you’ll realize it when you start hearing a sound every time you brake.

    Calipers

    For the caliper to function properly, it needs fluid. It activates the pads by applying pressure and forcing them to stop spinning.

    Rotors

    The rotors are connected to each tire, and when you brake, they stop spinning. If something is wrong with the rotors, it’s preferable to change them in pairs.

    Battery 

    The battery is the main part responsible for turning on the vehicle. In almost all cars, you can find it under the hood. It’s located close to the engine; you can identify it with the + and – symbols on it. When your car doesn’t turn on, then there’s something wrong with the battery.

    Anyone can learn how to drive a car, but not everyone knows how to take care of it. In order to take good care of your vehicle, you must know all the important parts that make a car and understand how they work. You don’t need to visit a service center every time you hear an odd sound. By understanding your car parts, you will know what the problem is and how it can be fixed. Then, you’ll know whether or not it’s worth a trip to a service center. Knowing the parts will not only save you many trips to a service center, but it will also teach you how to take care of your car and save a lot of money.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
