When I was younger, and more sophisticated, I bought a 55 Ford Fairlane. It was 8 years old!I couldn't wait to get it out onto the highway, I wanted to see just how fast it would run...it had 120 on the speedometer.Well, I didn't get it to top-end, but it was at 110 mph when a large, full, bug hit the windshield.There was one thing for sure, with all the white streak on the
windshield, he wouldn't have the guts to do that again.But at the same time, I thought the windshield had come apart.Needless to say, I slowed down.A week later I noticed some slack in the steering wheel.I crawled under the front of the car and checked the steering linkage.The threaded end on one of the tie-rods was stripping...
the tie-rod was just about ready to slip out of the adjusting sleeve.If that had happened while I was driving, I would have lost the steering...
That wheel would have gone to the extreme left or right, causing a large malfunction.What if it had come out while I was chasing that bug?Before you take your new, old car, that you just bought, out chasing bugs at full speed, look under the front at the suspension.See, first, what it's made of, how it is put together...
you'll be surprised at what you find...
it ain't much holding everything in place.Look at the components holding everything for you.Take a good look at what is between you driving down (or up) the road peacefully or cleaning out one of the state's bar-ditches.Tommy Sessions has been in auto repair since 1970.
