Moving at over 1,200 km/h, this sweet ride set the world record of being the fastest car on 15 October 1997 in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA. Andy Green the creator of this car also claims that the car was the first to ever break the sound barrier, although according to the Guinness World Records, The published speed of Mach 1.0106 was not officially approved by the USAF, as the Digital Instrument Radar was not calibrated or certified.

Although basic repairs can be done at home, but the average car owner doesn’t know anything about the size of their car’s gas tank, let alone about what’s under that hood. Although some good guys exist, many of the car dealerships and other mechanics see this as a chance to prey on the vulnerable and uneducated. We want to protect you from overpaying for parts and repairs you don’t even need. Here are 5 signs your mechanic is cheating you. 1) He Won’t Show You Old Parts Oh, you had a crack in your headers?

A tie rod or axial rod is used to connect each end of the rack. Below is the diagram of the configuration of Rack and Pinion: Credits: auto-repair The pinion gear is attached to the steering shaft. When the steering wheel is turned, the gear spins, moving the rack. The tie rod at each end of the rack connects to the steering arm which is attached to the spindle. This type of gearing mechanism as two main purposes: 1) It converts steering wheel’s circular motion into linear motion. 2) It causes a gear reduction, making it easier to turn the wheels. Variable ratio steering This is actually a sub-type of the rack and pinion ...
