Depending on the location of the vehicle power train systems, motion transmission to the wheels are different. Meeting together with two groups:

Motor vehicles and front wheel drive or rear engine and propulsion, wherein the secondary gearbox ends in a bevel pinion, which gives movement to a crown, which in turn transmits it directly to the wheels via two separate shafts, placed transversely in the vehicle.

On vehicles with front engine and rear-wheel drive, the drive is transmitted from the gearbox to the reduction gear housing (located on the rear axle) via a hohttp://www.wonderriver.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpllow shaft called the shaft, which is located in the vehicle longitudinal . This transmission system is constituted by: a gear box, drive shaft and rear axle. The motion from the gearbox is changed direction by 90 ° and is reduced while the bevel gear located on the rear axle. At its rear end, the shaft ends in the universal joint that transmits motion to the input shaft rear axle. In the latter they take the wheels via drive shafts that run inside the tubes.

This last provision is considered conventional and was widely used until recently, when it was replaced almost entirely on private cars for a fro

The tire pressure is indicated by the manufacturer, the pressure is calculated under varying load conditions and for a specific tire specifications, if we change the tires on others for example, with a lower profile, it is useless follow the manufacturer’s specifications, as this does not recommend this tire has not calculated the specific pressures. Also recommended tire changes may adversely affect other elements of the direction of the vehicle, but that is something to be discussed in another installment.

The manufacturer’s recommended pressure is usually indicated on the vehicle owner’s manual and a sticker in areas like the inside of the door frame of the duct or fuel tank cap. The manufacturer usually indicates two pressures, one for light loads and other heavy duty vehicle, the latter is always recommended that all vehicle seats are occupied, not necessarily loaded in the luggage when you travel two people and a lot of weight trunk is also inflate tires to recommended pressure load.

Pressures are indicated in bars: 2 bar = 29.00754 PSI

Pressure of the spare wheel.

It’s funny while striking, spare wheels (type foot stick), these seem very narrow motorcycle maximum speed recommended is 80 km / h and insurance are all aware, have an inflation pressure of 4 to 4 5 bars of pressure, so if you click and replaced by the spare wheel do not forget to inflate to this pressure (usually indicated on the rubber itself)

Nomenclature and symbols of the tire.

I leave you with this animation where we can find which means that which is written in our tires.

It is true that recently  very attentive to this sort of thing. But the fact remains that it has almost become a habit. But the habit after all. Toyota and his calls for review. Now the firm has been forced Japan to call voluntary review, that if, at some 600,000 units of its Sienna minivan model.

This is Toyota Sienna models sold in both the U.S. and Canada since 1998, and in which the company has detected a potential problem of corrosion in the cable holding the spare tire, with the possible relevance detachment of the wheel. And obviously it is not to gamble, apparently seen.

Toyota announced it was suspending sales of Lexus GX 460 worldwide after Consumer Reports, something like the American consumer affairs office, claimed it could be dangerous in the corners. And shortly thereafter became public that the company agreed to pay a fine of 16.4 million dollars, about 12 million Euros to change the American NHTSA agency, responsible for safety on U.S. highways due to problems with accelerators of their vehicles.
