Need an edumacation

[Solego]

I have what you would call a basic understanding of automotive theory. I can do anything, given a manual was provided that gave me step by step instructions. But, when I read some posts and people talk about panhards and the such, I am clueless.

So, for those actually in the automotive industry or anybody that can help, would you have any old textbooks or teaching manuals that you would be willing to part with. It need not be make or model specific, just something that explains the process, the parts, and how they interact with other parts. I had little success with finding books of this nature in the county library, which has a $30,000,000 budget. Go figure. I live in a university town that has more bike lanes than car lanes.

Any help is greatly appreciated. As always, you guys are awesome!
