Check of a condition of components of a suspension bracket and steering drive

Check of a condition of components of a suspension bracket and steering drive (each 25 000 km of run or time in 12 months)

The condition of components of a suspension bracket and steering drive should be made regularly as their deterioration or damage can be at the bottom of reduction of service life of tyres, conduct to decrease in controllability of the car and increase of the expense of fuel. The detailed illustrative material is presented also in the Head the Suspension bracket and a steering.

The checks made without a separation of wheels from the earth

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Park the car on an equal horizontal platform, whenever possible with a firm covering, develop forward wheels in rectilinear position. Slightly pull a steering wheel in both directions, - the excessive size taking place люфта specifies in possible deterioration of wheel bearings, collars of hinges of shaft of a steering column, bearings of rotary fists, or tips of steering draughts. The probability of infringement of adjustment or damage of components реечной transfers (the Suspension bracket and a steering see the Head) is not excluded also.
2. In deterioration or damage of components of a suspension bracket or a steering drive can specify also such symptoms, as excessive rocking of the car at movement on rough road or during fulfilment of turns, steering wheel jammings, etc.
3. For an estimation of a condition of shock-absorbers press downwards one of car corners. At release a corner the body should come back in a starting position, making no more than one-two fluctuations. Listen to a scratch and the other extraneous noise published by a suspension bracket at oscillative motions of a body. Excessive quantity раскачиваний bodies at release a corner, no less than refusal of its return to a starting position, testify to necessity of replacement of shock-absorbers. Operating in a similar manner, serially check up each of four shock-absorbers.

PERFORMANCE ORDER


1. Поддомкратьте the car also establish it on props. 2. Check up protectors of wheels on presence of traces of non-uniform deterioration (the Section Check of a condition of tyres see and pressure of their rating), estimate pressure of a rating of tyres.
3. Estimate a condition карданных hinges of a steering column. Check up protective covers of the steering mechanism and power shafts on presence of signs of leaks of greasing. Check up reliability of landing of tips of steering draughts. Check up a condition of components and reliability of a tightening of their fixture. Estimate degree of deterioration of rubber components of a suspension bracket and a steering drive. Ask the assistant повращать a steering wheel and visually estimate size люфта a steering drive. Try to establish the reason of a taking place weak point, make necessary regenerative repair, or replace defective components.
4. Manually rotating forward wheels, try to define on hearing a condition of wheel bearings, make sure of absence люфта at rotation of wheels. Grasp a wheel in points on 12 and at 6 o'clock and pull it in an axial plane, - presence some an appreciable free wheeling testifies to easing of a pretightness of wheel bearings.
5. Hooking components mount, estimate a condition of bearings of assemblages of rotary fists. In case of revealing люфта it is necessary to subject bearings to more detailed studying, to make replacement or stuffing by their fresh greasing. 6. Estimate degree of deterioration of universal hinges and sliding муфт карданных shaft (Coupling, трансмиссионная a line see the Head). 7. Examine surfaces картеров differential and a distributing box on presence of signs of development of leaks.
