Answers:
What port is pressure and return on a power steering sector?
I prefer all-wheel-drive and currently own two AWD Subarus (a 1995 and 2003, both Legacys). Prior to that, I owned two AWD Audis, a 5000Q and 4000Q. Nothing beats all-wheel-drive for sure-footedness in sloppy weather, yet the cars are like cars and not trucks. They are comfortable, quiet, easy to maneuver and look just like other cars. However, it is never a problem climbing the steep bumpy dirt road to my house in the mountains and getting around in the recent winter weather has been a no-brainer.The downside of all-wheel drive is that the extra mechanical stuff adds weight and complexity. This means lower gas mileage and the possibility for more repairs. My cars have generally been reliable and the Subarus (both four-cylinder cars) get around 24-25 miles per gallon. That's not great but it's not bad, and it's a heckuva lot better than the typical SUV. Gas mileage is a little higher on road trips and the best I've gotten is 29 mpg.
All wheel drive is a safer, better tracking vehicle than front drive and downside is less mpg than front drive. If you are always on dry flat ground you don't need all wheel though.
If you rent a car from a rental company can my wife drive it without paying for a extra driver?
I love American cars, so i would say the Charger. I also like the Impala.What is the best company to drive otr cdl-a?
AWD is definately better for a few cases, then again, not AWD systems are created equal. I'll share the 2 common ones, from one extreme to another.My friend just got a speeding ticket.?
You have the first fully engaged AWD variety which can be selected upon a truck for example. The wheels are all rotating, all the time. problem is, the systems can add about 300-400lbs, therefore decreasing gas mileage, and requiring more maintenence.
What is the difference between 4-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed manual transmission?
Then you have the simpler version which is becoming more common. Like Haldex systems available in the Ford 500/Freestyle, Volvos, etc. The system is passive, till one of the drive front wheels, slips, when that occurs the it sends power to the wheels with grip till traction is accomplished again, then disengages. The system only adds about 90-140lbs to the vehicle, and fuel mileage doesn't suffer, maintnence is easier as well.
I am getting new rims and tires, going from 15 to 17 inches?
I've read quite many positive reviews on the Ford Freestyle (this year, 2008, it gets renamed with a 3.5L DOHC V6 265HP engine) and they have tanacious grip, sits 7, and can be had around $25K-30K depending on trim You should check out Edmunds.com and see what customers have to say over it.
