All right, I though up a new riddle. I hope it's not too easy, so I'll start with just a couple of hints.

My first name is a homophone and my last name a homograph.

I come new on many cars but only work when I'm used.

air conditioner works...?

air- you know we breath it...

heir- like a kings son

conditioner- hair crap

then there is something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditioner_(farming)

and i guess an airconditioner only works when used? but isnt that true of most things?

I have two friends named wheel. One is under me, one is over me.

So the crap the king's son puts in his hair is the heir conditioner. I like that!

You guys are very close.

I’m on the left and the right, but I have a bias.

I am rotated and I am turned.

I'm (no, the real me, not the riddle) going to the junk yard to pull an engine, so I'm out for a bit but will check in when I get back. I think someone will have it by then.

tire iron or tire tread?

now I'm assuming that you mean brake drum, but I actually think brake shoe fits your first two groups of clues better . . .

You are assuming correctly!

Brake drum.

So you get to do the next riddle!

Not that there's anything wrong with it!
