Standard operating proce-
dure in 'many homes at this
time of the year is installa-
tion of screens in windows
and doors. R is the time to
che'ck hardware, tighten a-
feW screws here and there
and add a drop of oil where
necessary.
You may find an adjust-
ment needed in the door
closer, too. A combination of
wear on the plunger and the
lighter screen insert makes
the door close differently,
This plunger is not unlike
the shock absorbers on your
car, which may be showing
signs of wear after the rigors
of winter. Shock absorbers
are, essentially, plungers.
As the plunger on your
screen- door is designed to. re-

Shocks also keep the car's
body. from bobbing up and
doWn like a. rowboat at sea.
The shock absorber's philos-
ophy is to maintain the stat-
us quo; the wheels shouldn't
hop and the body shouldn't
bop.
Eventually, with age, a
worn shock absorber loses its
control .of the situation. In-
stead of easing your wheels
over bumps in the road, it
lets them bounce, sometimes
setting up an oscillation like
,ball on a long rubber band.
If this only caused an un-
comfortable ride, it would be
bad enough. But there are
other problems created by
worn shocks. Most important
is the safety factor. ,
When the wheel is bounc-
ing a few inches in the air; it
cannot contribute much to
Tires and suspension parts
also take additional punish-
ment when shocks lose their
control.LIf a worn shock ab-
sorber permits these parts
suffer two or three reboutids
after a bump, they-will have
taken double or triple jaun-
ishment. You'll feel this in,
your repair bills sooner or
later.
As a rule of thumb, any'
time after your shocks are
two years old, they may be
due for replacement. New
ones will give your car a
whole new lease one` life.
