What is a Rear Axle In rear-wheel drive cars and trucks, the engine turns a driveshaft (also called a propeller shaft or tail shaft) which transmits rotational force to a drive axle at the rear of the vehicle. The drive axle may be a live axle, but modern rear wheel drive automobiles generally use a split axle with a differential. Rear Axle many Autos LTD  How does a rear axle work? is supplied from the engine via the transmission to a driveshaft which connects to the differential a pinion. gear is attached to the end of the driveshaft this turns the ring gear the ring gear surrounds. a set of differential gears that enable the two rear axles to turn at different speeds.

Flywheel - Many Autos

A flywheel is a mechanical device specifically designed to efficiently store rotational energy. Flywheels resist changes in rotational speed by their moment of inertia. For example, flywheels are used in reciprocating engines because the active torque from the individual pistons is intermittent. Energy storage systems. Dual Mass Flywheel A dual-mass flywheel (DMF) is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy (rotational energy) in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration. What happens during a flywheel replacement? Many Autos will inspect and test the functionality of the clutch and flywheel. If necessary, Many Autos will advise if flywheel needs replacing. Transmission makes an unusual noise whilst engaging/disengaging the clutch. Mechanic separates gearbox from the engi

What Are the Benefits of Changing a Fuel Filter?

Cars made prior to 1980 used mechanical fuel pumps and carburettors that required low fuel pressure to operate. Fuel filters keep contaminants and other particles from clogging the injectors. How do you know there is something wrong with the Fuel Filter? When the 'Check Engine' light is on. When the engine runs rough power, delivery is not as smooth as usual. When fuel consumption of the car appears higher than usual. When you experience problems starting the car. When should you consider a Fuel Filter replacement? Over time, a fuel filter can get rather dirty, clog up or fail completely. There will be a reduced flow of fuel towards the engine or, in extreme cases, dirty fuel will pass through the filter and onto the engine. Eventually, a fuel filter that does not work correctly can lead to further damage. Should you experience problems with the fuel supply, then it is advisable to have the fuel filter inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced. Seeing that t

What is a ABS Pump ?

The anti-lock braking system ensures that the wheels are always in tractive contact when driving by preventing the brakes from locking up and avoid skidding. The ABS pump consists of an ECU which monitors the speed of the rotation of each wheel and a hydraulic unit / pump which puts pressure on the brakes. What is a ABS Ring ? ABS Rings. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is fitted as standard to all modern day cars as an additional safety measure. Under heavy braking, the force exerted on the brake discs can cause the wheels to lock, resulting in the car skidding along the road surface What is a ABS Hydraulic Units ? ABS (or anti-lock braking system) is what keeps your wheels gripped to the road when braking sharply and prevents them from locking up to keep you in full control. The hydraulic unit in the ABS system works by equalising the pressure on each individual brake or adjusting it to stop the car from skidding or veering. Many Autos Ltd Unit 4, Tunbridge Jones Ind

Car Service

Car Service Full Service includes a comprehensive 70-point check, Interim Service has a 50-point check. At Many Autos we use the latest equipment, allowing our qualified technicians and mechanics to diagnose any problems quickly and efficiently. Forgetting to service the vehicle as per manufacturer schedule can cause airborne debris such as leaves and dust to find their way into the engine, in particular the cylinders. This grime can then mix with the engine oil, which, when moves around the engine can slowly wear away engine components due to its abrasive nature. If left for a while clogged filters can cause serious damage to engine, reducing its performance and costing you more money than the cost of a normal service. At Many Autos we keep a range of different service parts in stock for every make and model, so you can get the service you need to keep the vehicle engine running at the highest possible standard.

Timing Belt/Cambelt Replacement

Timing Belt replacement according to your car manufacturer schedule is essential Snapped Timing belt can cause serious damage to the engine. It is often cost-effective to replace your Water Pump at the same time so don't be surprised if we suggest it. What happen if your timing belt snaps? The most difficult aspect of your timing belt maintenance is that it will usually continue to give dependable service, with minimal attention, for several years. But rubber is, of course, a perishable item, and the constant exposure to the high temperatures found in an engine, together with the speeds at which the belt has to constantly rotate, means the timing belt has to work really hard to keep everything running harmoniously. If your timing belt snaps , there are two likely scenarios, which will depend on the type of engine timing configuration employed. So-called ‘interference’ engines need the cam belt to prevent the valves and pistons inside your engine from smashing into eac
