From page 25 suspension system begins to suffer. Results from worn or sagging coil springs include reduced shock absorber height, causing the car to bottom out, reduced vehicle height, tire wear, and poor han- dling. Bob Parquet, an industry expert, explains: *‘If you notice your car or truck leaning or dipping when you are carrying a load or pulling a Combat buiidup From page 23 While al! cars are prone to car- bon deposit buildup regardless of make, model and year, today’s smaller and more powerful car engines are particularly sensitive to carbon deposits, especiaily those equipped with fuel injectors. Fuel injectors spray the exact amount of fuel needed into each cylinder through tiny orifices to deliver maximum performance. Because these openings are so small — less than the width of a human hair — even small deposits can clog the fuel injectors, resulting in poor engine perfor- mance. An easy, fast-acting solution is regular use of quality fuel additives which are specially formulated to combat .deposit buildup. Simply pouring a fuel additive into the gas tank before fueling once a month, or every 1,000 miles, ensures peak performance and reduces time and money spent on maintenance. However, just as all gasolines are not created equal, neither are fuel additives. According to in- formation published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), some gasoline additives can cause more harm than good because, as they break down existing carbon deposits, they create and leave new deposits behind. Technologically advanced ad- ditives are specifically designed to safely break down carbon deposits and remove them from the engine ~- without creating new deposits. A special ingredient in these products gives these additives the power to remove even difficult combustion chamber deposits safe- ly. These results have caused most foreign and domestic automakers — from Audi to Voivo — to recommend or approve fuel ad- ditives to fight deposit buildup. As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, fuel additives can help car owners eliminate per- formance problems this winter and keep engines running clean — dur- ing a season when peak perfor- mance is vital. 550,000 peopie work hard to protect Canada’s endangered species.

Unlike regular coil springs, these springs have coils spaced closely together at the top, while the coils toward the middle and bottom are more widely spaced. This gives the coil a special flex- ing action for added strength when needed. When driving with a normal load, the tightly coiled springs en- Coil springs improve vehicie handling sure proper vehicle height. When towing or hauling extra heavy loads, the wider spaced coils on the bottom flex up to provide extra support. In addition to restoring ride height and control, coil springs improve overall vehicle handling and stability. They help extend tire life and provide up to 1000 pounds of ex- tra-load carrying capacity, depen- ding on tire and frame conditions. Diets, exercise, and willpower are all necessary to prevent sagging in our bodies. Isn’t it nice to know that fixing the sagging in our vehi- cles won’t require that much pain?
