Why Good Bearings Go Bad, Why Smart Hubs Fail and Other Mysteries Solved!
An aftermarket vehicle is not the same as one that is fresh off the line. Older vehicles have tired, worn components, sagging suspensions and altered geometries. This webinar series addresses the aftermarket issues Technicians face every day, including avoiding plastic in key chassis components, adapting to the needs of EVs, finding fixes for OE faults and preventing costly repair mistakes. These webinars will help technicians make better choices for both the customer’s satisfaction and the shop’s bottom line.
Common oversights when servicing wheel bearings can often cause them to fail prematurely. Simple mistakes made before the hub assembly makes its first active rotation can determine how well it will perform in service and how long it will last.
If you want to avoid these common and simple errors, register now for our webinar. You will learn what you can do to avoid wheel bearing and hub assembly failure, including:

New line of spark plugs harnesses plasma technology to deliver more benefits.
Pulstar LLC, a U.S.-based ignition technology company, has announced a new line of fine-wire iridium, high-power spark plugs for the automotive market – combining the industry’s most durable component materials with Pulstar’s “Plasmacore” ignition technology.AdvertisementThe new line replaces Pulstar’s Inconel spark plugs and will be available for pre-order beginning Dec. 1. The price with the precious metal upgrade will remain $15.95 (U.S.). “We are always looking for ways to impress our customers. The new product is the next generation of our patented, Plasmacore spark plug,” said Lou Camilli, president of Pulstar LLC. “Whether your automobile is a high-performance coupe, a pickup truck or the family minivan, a simple upgrade to the new line of Pulstar fine-wire iridium spark plugs will bring you an unparalleled driving experience. You’ll be able to feel the difference straightaway, and for years to come.”AdvertisementThe new Pulstar spark plugs feature innovations designed for high durability. Iridium, a hard, dense metal with an extremely high melting point, is an ideal material for resisting corrosion and arc erosion in today’s high-temperature engines. The fine-wire design produces a consistent and stable spark that refines the electrodynamics of the Plasmacore ignition event. The insulator has been rebuilt from the ground up, with a new, sturdier profile and a more robust ceramic build that increases tensile and dielectrical strength. On the product’s design, Camilli, its inventor, added: “We tested the new line of Pulstar fine-wire iridium spark plugs and found that they have a 35% higher resistance to fracture, very low error rates, and cycle-to-cycle electrical discharge consistency that is the best we have ever seen. We think customers will love them.”AdvertisementLiore Alroy, managing member of Passaic River Capital, a technology investment firm that recently acquired Pulstar LLC, said, “Lou and his team of engineers have responded to our challenge: extend the life of the Pulstar plug while improving on the benefits Pulstar customers have come to love – more power, more torque, quicker starts, smoother shifting, less fuel consumption and lower emissions. We could not be more pleased.” Pulstar’s Camilli developed the Plasmacore ignition technology with Albuquerque’s Sandia National Laboratories, one of three National Nuclear Security Administration research and development (R&D) labs in the U.S.
