There comes a time in every car owner’s life when, for one reason or another, their ride lets them down. The excuse could be a failure of some part or another due to wear, a flaw in the design, or just their own poor maintenance practices. Whatever the cause, it can put both car and driver in jeopardy should it occur in heavy traffic or a seedy neighborhood.
As cars become more reliable, the chances of this occurring become more rare, but that’s not to say they still don’t. However, should you happen to drive an older car – say you’re of limited means – or have a classic, their persnickety nature can lead to recalcitrance in starting and running with regularity.
Some old cars are more trouble-prone than others, and in fact some entire makes and nations of origin are well known as breeders of future roadside opportunities for reflection. While a few people like that challenge, as well as the roll of the dice that every short trip involves, others would simply like to get to wherever they are going, be it somnambulist’s convention, or philately sale, with the least fuss possible.
And that brings us to today’s Name that Part. What does Jeopardy and reliability have to do with the part pictured below? Who knows, but I’m sure there’s a connection there somewhere. Regardless, today you’re getting a glimpse at a part that comes from one of the makes not known for keeping its owners out of trouble, and as a hint, I’ll tell you that, just like Double Jeopardy, these parts come in twos.
Good luck!
