Finding Cause Of Noises
Often PerpIexinq

There are 50 many warnings OF
real trouble that today's car owner
has a problem in knowing whether
or not the noises he hears are signs
Of impending grief or just a false
alarm. Sometimes, some OF the
most alarming sounds are OF no
consequence at all, but since there
is much chance for mistake. 1t is
important to have a few rules to
follow.
Noises that are heard only over
certain kinds of roads can be traced
to the type of paving. A soft paw
ing, for instance, will cause more
tire hum in hot weather. Noises
heard when the car is started for
ward or backward usually are due
to slight slippage of the rear wheels
on their tapered aXles. This is not
serious at all, and does not mean
that the wheels are going to come
Off Pebbles in tire treads can cause
annoying and sometimes battling,
clicking noise. Swishing in clutch
plates is common source OF worry
to drivers, likewise grabbing, which
may be due merely to prolonged
dampness. Probably the most
alarming noise of the year is squeal-
ing under the hood when the engine
is first started. Usually it is moth
ing more important than a glazed
fan belt.
But there is danger in thinking
that every noise is false alarm
A return engagement should be
cause for seeking further facts,
Evening star., 1940-10-20

especially If the noise seems worse
during its encore. Always try to
locate the noise in order to find
whether 1t is In the engine or the
chassis. Declutch and coast if you
want to get the engine out of the
picture. You can even switch it OF
to make sure it isn't playing any
part in the production of noise. II
trouble is in the engine it will show
up while the engine is running in
dependent of the car. For certain
conditions, such as the mesh of
gears at the rear end, you may
want to see what happens when the
engine is pulling, or when the car is
pushing the engine. Jerking Of the
propeller shaft at lower speeds
often is due to a miss in the en-
gine and an out-of- balance propeller
shaft can set up enough vibration
to make front wheels shimmy.

to give an easy ride. but may not be
best for the tires. Best course is to
compromise between what the tire
people and carmakers recommend
Be sure to increase tire pressure
when loading the car for a trip. and
then let out some air en- route if
presSures increase too much. A
common mistake is to have the
front tires at higher pressure than
the rears. This usually makes the
car steer too easily, presenting diff
ficulty in keeping it to a straight
course.
New rubber makes for easier rid
ing, but don't handicap the tires
with neglected chassis. Worn
universal joints, for instance, will
cause front-wheel shimmy by rea-
son of the propeller shaft running
out of line and setting up vibra-
ton. A grabbing clutch will punish
rear tires.
For savings and safety. watch
your tires. And do it the modern
way, with modern service methods.

and use of six-ply shoes for all
heavier cars.
Some Tubes Puncture- Proof.
The newer inner tubes have
longer life than the garden variety,
so that, while the first cost is
greater, they can be used for
longer time. Such tubes also save
having the shoes damaged when a
puncture develops. Some of them
are puncture-proof.
Tires fill up with potential
puncture material driven into the
rubber as the car goes through its
daily dozen. Service stations now
have X-ray machines which show
up such foreign matter and aid
tire surgeons in extracting 1t. Oil
is hostile to rubber. Yet many a
set of new tires rolls over puddles of
oil on the garage floor every time
the car Is brought in and taken out.
Oil leakage from the engine, trans
mission and rear end usually results
from broken gaskets and loose bolts.
Have the whole chassis tightened
up. 1t pays in more ways than one
Tires can be helpful to the brak-
ing system, but if the latter isn't
in good condition it can handicap
the tires. Typical example is
weak or broken brake-shoe return
spring, The shoes then drag, Caus-
ing excessive tread wear on the tire

tire because the brake drums become
excessively hot.
Hydraulic Brake Problems.
There are several things which
can throw brakes out of equaliza-
ton even if the system is hydraulic
in operation. Brake shoes. cams
and springs are still strictly me-
chanical. Front wheel bearings
should not be tight. nor should
there be enough freedom to en-
courage wheel wobble.
II is good rule to check tire
pressures every time you buy gas.

Safety and Savings
Are Both Attained
By Watching Tires
Rubber Can Be Protected
By Being Sure Load
Is Evenly Distributed

Afoot, the trick in safety is to
watch your step; but awheel, it is
coming to be largely a matter of
watching your tires. There is no
safety in motoring without security
in stopping, and safe stopping isn't
possible without safe tires.
Moreover, tires affect steering and
the general stability of the car.
They provide traction to start, to
stop and to keep going on an even
keel. That is why they must De
protected against excessive wear
That is why they must be protected
against overloading. That is why,
In the interests of safety. you must
watch them constantly. Not Just
once every two weeks, but daily.
If tire is overloaded it is likely
to show some evidence of this by
bulging along the sidewalks near
the rim. This is apt to be on the
side facing the car, where you can
not so easily detect it. External
cracks in the sidewalks are not
usually serious, but if they occur
it is better to be safe than sorry
Have the tire demounted to make
sure there is no break inside. The
internal walls are vital.
Balance Should Be Attained.
Th first step in this process OF
watching your tires is to have them
balanced with the wheels on which
they are mounted. You'll get much
longer service from them and, as an
extra dividend. less risk of shimmy
Properly balanced tires do not wear
their treads into a scalloped pat
tern and are thus free from noise.
Balance the rear tires and wheels
as well as those at the front. Bal
They run cooler. They help the
chassis to longer life.
Scalloped treads may be due to
misalignment. A periodic check on
front-end alignment Will save a lot
Of tire wear and will make for easier
more accurate steering. Even a
feather edge along the treads Sug-
gests trouble. II may be that you
have careleSsly struck the curb in
parking. There may be too much
toe-in or toe-out. The front wheels
may be cambered incorrectly Or
the front end may be a degree one
way or the other away from the
correct caster angle. Remember
that weak rear springs will allow the
car to sag at the rear. thus ad-
versely affecting front-end caster.
BloWoutS still are a problem. There
is considerable question in the tire
world as to just how to cope with
this menace, and some important
progress is being made in the form
of special inner tubes and safety
rims, but all are agreed that steps
toward freedom from blowouts in
clude use of fresh tires, avoidance
of underinfation and overloading

If motorists would realize that
the secret of designing serviceable,
practical automobiles lies in the
willingness of engineers to COM
promise in matters of design, there
would be fewer cases of cars being
rendered troublesome through un-
wise changes after delivery. Over
doing it does not pay in motor car
practice.
Engineers discovered this fact
long ago, when they built a car
with absolutely effortless steering
There was nothing to do but guide
the car if you could. With no feel
ing of the road, there was no means
whereby a driver could orient him.
self, so the idea failed. Similar
discoveries by automobile owners
would save lot of needless expense.
Typical is the case of the owner
who equips his car with tires that
are too heavy for it. Tires also can
be too large, so that, while they

that are too heavy cause rumbling

up vibrations of sufficient magni-

parts of the car and to shake loose
anything that is not too we'll Sc
cured Any extreme alteration in
the size or weight of tires is likely
to result in steering trouble, in
Guiding that extremely unpredict-
able condition popularly known as
"shimmy."
Few Changes Successful.
1t is seldom that an owner can
make change in his car and call
1t success. This is illustrated in
the temptation to use carburetor
jet sizes other than those provided
by the manufacturer. While 1t is
line on a trip by using a smaller
jet. the leaner mixture is likely to
burn the valves, and there may be
an increase in gasoline consump-
ton during the starting process.
Usually, any change that makes for
marked improvement in gas mile
age at the same time results in an
equally marked loss in perform
ance.
Many motorists who complain of
inceSsant stalling, difficulty in start
ing or lack of power on hills have
been making the mistake of cut
ting down the mixture too lean.
Such procedure is typical of many
things owners are tempted to do
when trying to get better results
from their cars. There are many
attempts to improve on fabrication.
One Of the popular mistakes is to
fill the crankcase with break-in
oil and assume that it will stand
up as we'll as a regular grade of
lubricant. The lighter oil gives the
engine more pep because 1t lubri-
Gates more completely, but the
temptation to utilize this pep causes
the driver to whiz past everything
in sight. He drives more erratically,
making more frequent stops from
high speed. This would waste any oil
by sucking it up into the cylinders,
but naturally the lighter the oil the
more pronounced this is.
Everything has its place, and until
owners realize this as keenly as do
engineers, there will be no check on
the temptation to try to 60 to ex-
tremes. Such break-in oil is highly
desirable for lmbering up brand

Why They Need CooIino

Your car burns enough gasoline
to heat a 30-room house in cold

Avoiding Extremes Saves
Car Owner Time and Money

new engine or one that has been re-
built. Using it under such circum-
stances, the driver realizes he should
not step on il" While the engine
tends to run more easily with the
lighter oil. its stiffness serves to bal
ance its action. There isn't the sem
sation that the engine has suddenly
acquired new power. and thus no
temptation to drive 1t TO the limit.
1t is largely to prevent the posi-
bility of running out of oil, and of
damaging the engine, that these
special Oil 'alloys" are recommended
only as an addition to the regular
crankcase oil, not as complete sub
stitute for it.
A Motorists Mistake.
Recently a motorist who wanted
more heat from the hot-water
heater on his car decided that the
trick was to put in "Y" conneC-
ton and hook up both blocks of the
V engine. The object with a heater
is TO direct to its care water that IS
hotter, not more water. Which
brings up the point that, very often.
a motorist can get what he desires
by simple adjustment already pro-
vided on the car This applies TO
adjustable thermoStatS. Proper serv-
ice is another way of obtaining re-
suits which can be had otherwise
only by makeshifts that sometimes
do more harm than good.
1t is possible to pep up an inefficient
engine with an extra coil or boost
ers for the spark. but in almost all
cases better results are had by ad-
vancing the timing, replacing the
spark plugs or grinding in the
valves. The smart way to improve"
on the car Is to try to put it back
into the condition it enjoyed when
first turned out by the factory. This
is a good thing to remember when
figuring on changing tires. Too
often, the temptation is to switch
to four-ply tires if the originals were
six-ply. or vice versa. New tires of
the original kind would be entirely
satisfactory. If change is made
to another type of tire, there may
be trouble. The more modern our
cars become. the more sensitive they
are to details. That is why changes
in tires and fabrication today are
more noticeable than previously.
There are many things car de-
signers could do to obtain special
effects, but these may be at the ex-
pense of general satisfaction, so
they avoid extremes. It's tip to
the car owner who knows a stop
sign when he sees one.
