In addition to saving mo­ ney. remanufactured parts of­ ten improve on the original. "Arrow analyzes wear and failure factors on millions of 5 units," Holzwasser says. "If failure was due to a design problem, we correct it. Other times, we add heavier wiring or insulation or make other im­ provements." By using remanufactured parts from reputable suppliers, consumers can be sure of new- part performance, reliability and durability at prices that can save hundreds of dollirs or more over the life of a car. "For the combination of savings and performance." Holzwasser says. "I think the remanufactured part is the consumer's best buy."

Engineers at The Kelly- Springfield Tire Company warn that excessive wheel spinning can generate enough force to cause a tire to explode. A free spinning wheel is turning twice as fast as the speed indicated on the car speedometer. And, depend­ ing on the size of the car en­ gine, a free spinning tire can reach its centrifugal force exploding point in three to 12 seconds, say the Kelly- Springfield engineers. A car should be freed from a stuck position by gently rocking the car back and forth. If rocking the car fails, then call for towing service. It will be less ex­ pensive and safer.
