Every car owner ought t. make a
practice Of testing the wheels for side
play at least three or four times a
year.
Wobbly wheels, besides wearing
bearings and otherwise racklng the
machine, have an equally destructive
effect on tire treads.
Motorists these days like to boast Of
their ability to get good power and
mileage from present-day fuels by
"home-made" mechanical adjustments.
When an old set of pistons reaches
the stage where replacement is neces-
sary. it is sometimes possible to avoid
this expense by having the worn set
expanded or swelled.
