    This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles.This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive.

  3. Merrill Wheel-Balancing System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill_Wheel-Balancing_System

    The Merrill Wheel-Balancing System was the world's first electronic dynamic wheel-balancing system. It was invented in 1945 by Marcellus Merrill at the Merrill Engineering Laboratories, 2390 South Tejon Street, Englewood, Colorado , and is now recorded on the list of IEEE Milestones in electronic engineering [ 1 ] and as an American Society of ...

  4. Tire balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

    Tire balance is measured in factories and repair shops by two methods: with static balancers and with dynamic balancers. Tires with large unbalances are downgraded or rejected. When tires are fitted to wheels at the point of sale, they are measured again on a balancing machine , and correction weights are applied to counteract their combined ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JST_connector

    JST manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] JST connectors are used in many types of products, and commonly used by electronics hobbyists and consumer products for rechargeable battery packs, battery balancers , battery eliminator circuits , 3D printers , and radio controlled servos .

  6. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

    Because an anti-roll bar connects wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle, the bar transmits the force of a bump on one wheel to the opposite wheel. On rough or broken pavement, anti-roll bars can produce jarring, side-to-side body motions (a "waddling" sensation), which increase in severity with the diameter and stiffness of the anti-roll bars.

  7. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

    The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) [1] [2] is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. The term is also used to refer to part of a fifth wheel coupling apparatus for a semi and its trailer or other load.

  8. Flexplate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexplate

    The name refers to the ability of the disk to flex along its main axis to account for gear changes and/or small misalignments as rotational speeds change. [2] Flexplates are generally much thinner and lighter than flywheels not only because of the required flexibility, but also due to the smoother coupling action of the torque converter [3] and the elimination of the clutch surface.

  9. Fifth-wheel coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-wheel_coupling

    The coupling consists of a kingpin, a 2-or-3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch-diameter (50.8 or 88.9 mm) vertical steel pin protruding from the bottom of the front of the semi-trailer, and a horseshoe-shaped coupling device called a fifth wheel on the rear of the towing vehicle. As the connected truck turns, the downward-facing surface of the semi-trailer (with ...
