Effectively Restoring Original Ride Feel

When the time comes to replace worn struts on your customers’ vehicle, there are many options on the market. Most professionals opt for complete strut assemblies.

These assemblies are made from 100% new components, and the strut, strut mount, coil spring, boot, bump stop and mounting hardware are all included.

The main reason service professionals are choosing complete strut assemblies is the advantage in installation time. Quicker service bay turnaround time is critical for the shop owner as well as the vehicle owner.

Another advantage of complete strut assemblies is that they allow the shop to assign the job to a less experienced technician, as there is no need to use a dangerous spring compressor.

Replacing the complete assembly allows worn components to be upgraded as well, such as the strut mount and coil spring. With that said, look for complete strut assemblies to restore the customer’s vehicle to like-new ride feel.

Toyota Regenerative Braking System

The brake system of a hybrid may have multiple components to perform regenerative braking and pedal simulation.

With conventional friction brakes, the energy of forward motion (kinetic energy) is transformed into heat energy, via friction, and then dissipated into the air. A Toyota hybrid vehicle recharges its high voltage battery through the use of regenerative braking. 

With regenerative braking, instead of just wasting that energy by releasing it into the air, the vehicle takes it and places it in a box in the back of the car to save it as stored energy. Later, that stored energy will be converted back into kinetic energy and poured back into the operation of the car.
