SERVICE SA
Mysteries of Single - Car
Accidents May beTraced
To Worn Out Shocks
According to some traffic
experts, a possible reason
for at least some of the
single car fatalities could
be worn shock absorbers.
When shocks are worn,_ a
panic stop, possibly, caused
by an animal darting onto
the roadway, could result in
the car's front wheels lifting
off the road's surface. This
action could result in loss
of control: by the driver,
Also, when shocks are de-
fectlie, taking a curve at
high speeds could mean loss
of control.
The average effective life
of shock absorbers is about
two years or 24,000 miles of
driving. 'Beyond that point,
shoCks generally lose effec-
tiveness and pose a safety
hazard.
Therefore, the motorist is
advised to have the condi-.
tion of the shocks checked
routinely when the car is on
designing .anti-emis-
sion systems to help reduce
air pollution, car manufac-
turers are installing hotter-
running engines in today's
vehicles, Therefore, it •has
become even more critical
that cooling systems be in
top,condition to handle the
higher engine temperatures.
This means that the
cooling system should be
checked twice a year for
the following:
Le,ak-free radiator;
soundness of all hoses and
connections; properly op-
erating thermostat; radia-
tor cap is sealing efficiently;
water pump is working, and
coolant levels are normal.
Proper mixture of coolant,
the hoist for an oil change,
lube job, wheel alignment
or similar service.
Motorists are also advised
to match up the replacement
shocks with--the --type of
driving they do. In over-the-
road driving with normal
loads, regular shocks gen-
erally suffice. However, with
frequent driving over rough -
roads roads and at high speeds, a
heavy duty shock may be
needed. Motorists who fre-
quently haul trailers . or
other heavy loads may need
load leveler stabilizing units.
If front-end sag due to
worn springs is evident,
front end• stabilizing =Its
are recommended.
Signs of worn shock ab-
sorbers include a bobbing
of the car after a stop,
rough riding characteristics
and instability on curves,
for bOth summer and winter
. operation, is about 50 per
cent ethylene gIyail-type
anti-freeze and 50 -per cent
water. This so-called per-
manent-type anti-freeze
should be replaced every two
years or 30,000 miles, which
ever comes first.
• While on the subject of
anti-freeze, the "self-seal-
ing" variety that' Claims it
can stop radiator leaks
offers only a temporary so-
lution to a leak, problem:
Containing, generally, an
asbestos-type compound,
the "leak-proof" anti-freeze
is effective only for a short
time, Once revealed, the
leak should be located and
repaired by a competent
auto service technician. •
