Automotive Components

Engine. It is the power plant of the car. When fuel is burned inside the engine, the power produced drives the wheels and makes the car move.

Clutch. It connects and disconnects the power from the engine to the transmission.

Transmission. It rotates the engine torque, transmits the engine power from the clutch, and provides a means by which the driver can select the appropriate speed that will match the engine power.

Propeller Shaft. It transmits the power from the transmission to the differential at varying angles.

Differential. It enables the rear wheels to be driven at different speeds when the vehicle is making a turn.

Suspension System. It absorbs road surface irregularities and converts them into controlled vertical movements. Road shocks, impact sways and other unpleasant movement of the car are controlled by the suspension system, thereby providing a comfortable ride for the passengers.

Brake System. It stops or slows down the vehicle.

Steering System. It provides control of the car by the driver for maneuvering in the desired direction.

Electrical System. It provides electricity for the operation of the starter, ignition, lighting, signal, and other electrical accessories.
