Tech Tip: Choosing the Right Brake Friction Materials for Your Customers’ Vehicles

One thing you can always count on with brakes: sooner or later the brake linings will wear out and have to be replaced. Every time the brakes are applied, the pads rub against the rotors and wear just a bit. After 40,000 to 60,000 miles, the front pads are usually worn down to minimum thickness specifications and need to be replaced. The rear pads or shoes typically last 20,000 to 30,000 miles longer, but they also eventually wear out ….

Tech Tip: Becoming Attuned to Engine Sounds

Can you pinpoint abnormal noises coming from an engine? More often than not, internal engine malfunctions will reveal themselves first as an unusual noise. This can often happen before the problem affects the driveability of the vehicle. Unless a technician has experience in listening to and interpreting engine noises, it may be hard to distinguish one from another ….

Brake Friction Materials: Good, Better or Best?

One thing you can always count on with brakes: sooner or later the brake linings will wear out and have to be replaced. Every time the brakes are applied, the pads rub against the rotors and wear just a bit. After 40,000 to 60,000 miles, the front pads are usually worn down to minimum thickness

Oxygen Sensors: Are You Up to Date on the Latest Designs?

If you’re a technician who works on late-model import vehicles and diagnoses engine performance and emissions problems, you probably have a good understanding of how oxygen (O2) sensors work. You know that all late-model engines have at least one or more “upstream” O2 sensors in the exhaust system to monitor the air/fuel mixture, and one

Getting a Fix on Piston Diagnosis and Inspection

Piston failures in late-model engines are relatively uncommon thanks to computerized engine controls that keep a close watch on the air/fuel mixture, and knock sensors that back off spark timing advance if detonation is detected. Pistons are also lasting longer because many engines now come factory-equipped with stronger hypereutectic alloy pistons that can withstand higher
