The remotely operated start switch relies on relay contacts and a solenoid operated shift lever to engage the flywheel gear and crank the engine. The smaller relay shown on top may be separated entirely from the start motor housing for easy service.

Looseness or wear in a vehicle’s steering knuckles may often be discovered while performing a lube job – assuming you’re paying attention – but a more thorough inspection can be performed by jacking your vehicle’s front end off the ground by its bumper or frame so the axle hangs from its springs.

Engine oil doesn’t only break down and become dirty from use, it also gradually breaks down over time. And, in vehicles that aren’t driven much, or are not driven long distances so the engine never fully heats up, moisture forms in the crankcase. Moisture also forms in engines, axles and gearboxes simply because of temperature changes. Water not only dilutes engine oil, it also reacts with the oil to form acids that soften and eat away bearing material. Therefore, you should change the engine oil at fairly regular intervals whether or not the vehicle is driven a lot.
