OUTDOOR LIFE TIP //

  • Replace suspension if leaks, damage or loose mounting hardware are found
  • Symptoms of wear out include uneven tire wear and excessive bouncing after bumps

STEERING FLUID //

  • Check the fluid with the car warmed up
  • Add correct type of fluid if low
  • If frequent topping off is required, inspect for leaks and replace if contaminated

TROUBLE SHOOTING: STEERING //

When your wheel is hard to turn, especially while moving at slow speed try the following:

  • Add fluid as needed
  • Tighten or replace belt
  • Have checked for pressure and replace if needed
  • Inspect steering rack for leaks and replace rack if needed
 

Flush Coolant Flush your cooling system at least once a year. When refilling the system, use a mixture of antifreeze/coolant and water. Typically a 50/50 mix is recommended.

Avoid Sway To keep the tail from wagging the dog, pack your trailer so that 50 to 60 percent of the load is forward of the axle. Make sure the load is evenly dispersed side-to-side.

Sinking Sands Lower the air pressure in your tires will widen their footprint and improve traction. Maintain momentum, in soft sand, but take care with the throttle, as wheelspin will dig tires in down to the axles.
