Checking the suspension components and steering



Components of a steering drive and suspension should be checked regularly. Worn or damaged suspension components and the steering gear can cause excessive and dangerous tire wear, deterioration of driving performance and handling and increased fuel consumption. For more information on the components of the suspension and steering systems, refer to Chapter Suspension and steering.

Check-absorber strut

PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Poddomkratte car and reliably establish it on support.
  2. Inspect the damper struts suspension for signs of leaks.
  3. Check the installation and the integrity of the racks. Check the upper support struts for damage and wear. In the event of such replace the rack.

Checking the status of the steering system and suspension

PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Inspect the components of the steering system for damage and deformation. Look for signs of fluid leakage, damaged gaskets, dust caps and couplings.
  2. Clean the lower end of the knuckle. Ask the assistant to grab the bottom edge of the wheel and shake it, and themselves at this time, watch the movement of ball joints that connect the knuckle with a lever. Inspect the anthers ball joints for breaks. If any signs of damage or backlash anther spherical support (support) should be replaced.
  3. Grab each of the front wheels of the front and rear edges and try to turn it into the front edge and the rear outside to check for play in the steering transmission. If backlash is found, check for loose mounting of the steering mechanism and hinges of steering drafts. If weakened attachment, tighten them. If weakened tie rods, then the cause may be worn joints (first check the reliability of a tightening of nuts). For more information on the steering system and suspension can be found in Chapter Suspension and steering.

Check backlash steering

PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Set the steering wheel to the center position.
  2. Move the steering wheel from side to side, watching while behind the front wheels. The steering wheel can have a maximum gap of 25 mm.
  3. With a larger wheel play, check the steering control, steering and front suspension bearing play.
  4. Strong move the tie rod arm. Ball joints must not have play, otherwise replace hinges or tie rods.

Checking the tips of steering rods, ball joints and steering anther

PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Light bulb anthers lower ball joints on the left and the right, and check for damage.
  2. Light bulb duster rod end on the left and the right, and check for damage
  3. If damage anthers security reasons should be replaced with an appropriate joint bellow. Pollution destroy the hinge.
  4. Strong move the tie rod arm in different directions. The hinge can have backlash. Otherwise, you must replace the tie rod end.
  5. Check the tightening locknuts tips of steering drafts and nut finger joint, not turning it. The tightening torque is given in the specification.
  6. Check anthers steering, if necessary, replace with new ones.
