Are you ever curious about the inner workings of your car? What are the most critical parts? Responsible vehicle owners need to be familiar with the basics of their vehicles. In case of an unexpected problem, here are the top car BTR parts that you should be familiar with.
Brakes
You need to be cautious with this. You should replace your brakes if they start to creak when you press the pedal.
Pistons
They should operate smoothly and efficiently. These engines can handle all kinds of gasoline explosions. This is how your vehicle’s horsepower is determined.
Fuel Injector
This is what moves gas from your fuel tank to the engine. This is the successor of the carburetor.
The Radiator
The radiator helps keep the engine from heating up. The coolant heats the air and then returns to the engine to absorb more heat. Your radiator may be responsible for your car’s overheating problems.
Ac Compressor
This is how Freon is introduced to the air conditioner, where it is then passed down the line under high pressure. You will be uncomfortable in the heat this summer.
The Clutch
You can move the clutch from one gear to the next to ensure you drive smoothly. It allows you to switch gears. When you press down on it, the clutch will allow the transmission to continue to run even when the car has been in neutral. The car would stall without the clutch.
The Motor Fan
These allow air to flow over the radiator, which helps make the cooling process of the engine coolant more efficient.
Spare Tire
While technically this isn’t a car part it is common for people to keep one in their car. Towing your vehicle is never fun.
Car Jack
Yes, this time, you will need to have a spare and some tools.
Shock Absorbers
These devices help maintain your wheels’ grip and absorb shock to improve your ride. Shock absorbers can be very useful for many reasons. These will be discussed in Tips and Education.
Transmission
This transforms power into movement. This allows for the transmission to transmit power to the wheels.
The Spark Plug
This is what ignites the fuel and starts the engine.
Filter
Air filters will prevent your AC from causing allergies or sneezing. It is important to keep it clean to prevent dust from building up.
The Muffler
This prevents your car’s engine from generating an inexorable ruckus. If the muffler did not tone it down, the gas coming from combustion in the pistons could make loud noises right into the exhaust valves.
The Catalytic Converter
This reduces the emission of your vehicle.
The Alternator
This will charge the vehicle’s battery when the engine is running. Your lights can cause damage to your battery if they are left on while your engine is not running.
The Pressure Gauge
Technically, it is not a vehicle part. However, it will inflate the tires properly and prevent flat tires. They can also help you reduce your gas consumption.
