• Sleeve bearings in moderate service can operate on 50% or less of the oil feed required for a full hydrodynamic oil film. • Lower oil-feed rates mean engineers can simplify oil-delivery systems. • ...

Suspension and exhaust systems begin with all of the hard parts: hangers, pipes, control arms, struts, shocks, sway bars, and springs. Bushings and insulators are the flexible connections between the ...

A bushing permits movement between two parts without allowing them to contact each other by filling in the gap between them. When suspension bushings are worn, they don’t adequately fill the gap ...

Greases help sleeve bearings operate with less maintenance. Understanding bearing oscillation angle, temperature, friction, and grease replenishment requirements will keep bearings working longer.

A study of 10 current production passenger car automatic transmissions with respect to environment, bushing and washer material, journal and thrust runner materials and finishes, loads and speeds, and ...

Last time around, I described shock absorbers as a “lowly” part of your Corvette, an oft-forgotten suspension piece that could use an upgrade. Perhaps lowly wasn’t the right word, because this month’s ...
