Before you buy, try to get a handle on the repair costs of the vehicle. Get an idea of the costs of parts that will need repair or replacement, if you're planning on taking on the job yourself. Once you get a good idea of these costs, figure that in and use that factor to set your bid ceiling on the purchase. That way, hopefully your RV purchase won't turn into a long-running money trap.

A custom cover will fit the car like a glove, as it has been specifically created for it. It will snug and provide the highest degree of protection. Nothing will be able to worm it way in, and therefore the car will be completely shielded from everything. Custom owners get to personalise their covers with a logo on the bonnet too, giving the car that extra special look.

These come totally uninvited and unwanted, and leave the most ugly visiting cards. Stains are left splattered across the exterior,dust piles up, and all are terribly difficult to get rid of, often staining the car for life.

Suspension dampers Now we can start the storage process. Your first move is to get a waterproof barrier wrap. Lay it out in the storage area and drive the car onto it. This wrap will keep water vapor from rising up under the car and will also keep car fluids from staining the area. Once the car is positioned, place it on jacks so that the car is completely suspended in the air. This will save your shocks, suspension and tires. Fire up the car and then cut the electrical connection to the fuel pump. When the car dies, the fuel system will be empty and ready for storage. The final step is just to walk around the car and seal all entry points that small animals can get into. Duct tape your exhaust pipe opening to prevent anything from getting up in there.

The Military Intelligence thinking is not to allow soldiers to buy their own body armor BUT allow after market armor to be added to soft skinned vehicles. In 2005,I saw plywood walls filled with sandbags stacked 3 to 4 feet above the center of gravity and overloading the steering gear. How many people died in single vehicle rollovers caused by after market armor vs. people that died from privately owned body armor?

A better impression of the condition of the shocks is acquired by driving the car. You can recognize bad shocks while driving by pitching of the vehicle after a long bump and a bouncing motion after a brief bump. Assess the overall comfort and stability while driving. The vehicle must not be jumpy and / or feel unstable. In corners, the vehicle should not lean too much.

This is were the spring is mounted over the shock, in other words "the COIL is mounted OVER the shock". Hence Coilovers. When these are adjustable, the coil spring mounting block, is physically screwed up or down the shock to provide the desired ride height.

"Hot Spots" on the brake drums or rotors can develop from excessive overheating in the same fashion as brake pad crystallization. These hot spots are really hardened areas that have been "cooked" by excessive heat. The brake pads can't grip the surface of these areas effectively and this reduces stopping ability.
