After a hard winter, every car needs a good physical examination, or in automobile terms — a tune-up.
However, just tuning the engine isn’t enough to remove the winter “viruses” that may be infecting your car. If they are not found and eliminated during the spring check-up, they may soon make their presence known later during the summer.
Unfortunately for you, it won’t be in your driveway; but perhaps a remote stretch of interstate with no help in sight.
There are many things that should be checked out. You can do some of these things yourself, or you may wish to bring your car into your dealer or mechanic.
The wheels and tires are often overlooked. After a hard winter of driving in the ,sand, salt and snow, carefully inspect the tires for wear, cuts and sidewall damage.
If you are using snow tires, remove them. Their thick rubber and tread design cannot dissipate the high heat that builds up during summer driving. This may cause excessive tire wear, chunking — where portions of the tire break lose — or even a blow out.
Replace the snow tires with regular or all-weather tires and rotate them according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
While you are inspecting your tires and wheels, break lose all the lug nuts, jack up the car and remove each wheel. Now’s the time to find those frozen lug nuts and wheels ' that have corroded.
