What is Wheel Offset?

  What is Wheel Offset? Offset  is a term used to describe how far a wheel is set away from the fender or chassis. A higher offset means that the wheel is closer to the chassis, whereas a lower offset means that the wheel is further away. There is no universal offset number, however, each vehicle has a minimum and maximum offset tolerance. It is therefore important to know what these are before you buy a set of wheels. To get the correct wheel offset for your car, you will need to check the wheel's centerline. If the offset is too big, the wheels will rub against the fender, which can affect handling. In addition, a negative offset isn't desirable as it will push the wheels outside the wheel well, making your car look silly. You may need to roll the wheels or fit arch extensions to correct this problem. When buying new wheels, you will need to know that they will fit on your car properly. There are two types of wheel offset: positive and negative. The first is commonly used. T...

How Do Suspension Systems Work?

  How Do Suspension Systems Work? A  suspension system  is a critical part of a car's overall handling and safety. It keeps the tires in contact with the road, maintains steering stability, and reduces body roll and lean. These systems are designed to accommodate the weight of the entire vehicle and can withstand substantial stress and force. The wheels and tires are two important parts of the suspension system. Without them, your car would be unstable and could skew when you apply the brakes. The suspension system helps reduce these effects by absorbing the shocks and dissipating them. When your tires begin to wear down, you can usually see if your suspension system is having problems. In order to maintain the safety of your car, your suspension system must be strong enough to absorb road bumps. Although the wear and tear on your vehicle may not be noticeable, deep potholes can easily destroy a suspension system and put undue strain on a particular corner of the vehicle....

Gas Prices in Canada

  Gas Prices in Canada   Gas prices in Canada  vary depending on the province. In the province of Ontario, customers are paying an average of 143.4 cents per liter of gas. These prices are determined by market demand and competition among the distributors. However, some factors do play a role in driving up prices. For instance, Canada's geographic location means that drivers rely on cars more than trains or public transportation. As a result, the cost of gasoline is rising, which is not good news for consumers. However, Canada is not entirely at fault. The country is exporting more gas to Asia. Gas prices in Asia are higher than in the U.S., but Canada is also a net importer. Despite the fact that exporting oil is good for the Canadian economy, it does not make gas cheaper at the pump. Natural gas prices are set at physical locations known as hubs. These hubs are usually near storage facilities and transfer points between pipelines. Natural gas prices in Canada typically ...

Increased Number of Electric Cars in Canada

  Increased Number of Electric Cars in Canada   The government has announced a program to increase the number of Electric Vehicles sold in Canada. While proponents of the program are still waiting on the specifics, pro-EV economists and business leaders are expressing new optimism. They believe that the move away from internal combustion vehicles has reached a turning point in Canada. While this transition has been plagued by excuses and delays, it is now being driven by the convergence of various technological and social forces. If successful, this change will result in affordable electric vehicles for Canadians. EV sales in Canada  have steadily increased over the past several years. According to Statista, the country will have a total of 66,815 EVs on the road by 2020. That number is up from 49,830 EVs sold in 2016 to 19,086 in 2017. The total number of EVs sold in Canada will reach 255,000 units between 2010 and 2021. The Chevrolet Bolt EV is one of the most popular E...
