Show :;r. o: You Auto Know . i I That one of the most usual J f places for wear on a car Is at J ! the steering knuckles, which ? are always under a heavy f j strain. Comparatively few car I owners realize that the knuckles J i need a constant supply of heavy T grease in order to prevent un- ? f due wear, and for this reason it I is the part of wisdom to see j t that the proper lubricant Is ap- J ! plied either through screwing j f down the grease cups or using ? i the grease gun. A good rule I to follow in this respect is to ) f grease the knuckles whenever ? ' It Is put in the car or, at least, I t whenever the oil Is changed. J I Yv'orn steering knuckles are j 1 also one of the Infallible signs i of an overused car and, in pur- I chasing a second-hand machine, f these should be Inspected In or- j ! rier to see whether the car has f beeu used or abused. In this ? ! respect, the knuckles, together f f with several other particular ? i parts, are regarded as the j "teeth" of the automobile, for i 4 an examination of these will j I disclose the real age of the car ? not the length of time which 1 has elapsed since its original i t purchase or even the number of ? miles it lias been driven, but j ; the care it has received. i ?
