Also check your brakes for wear and tear, and your shocks.


A set of worn shocks will greatly increase your stopping distance.|||you might want to have the oil and filters changed on a regular bases,a tune up would be good.have the shocks replaced if needed,the brake system checked,trans fluid checked,experience says if its going to break down its out in the middle of nowhere at the wrong time.
