Suspension bracket and steering check

Check of a forward suspension bracket and steering

CHECK

1. Поддомкратьте a forward part of the car and reliably establish it on axial props. 2. Visually examine dustproof caps of the spherical hinge and protective covers of a gear wheel the helmsman рейки about an attrition or deterioration. Any deterioration of these components will lead to lubricant loss that will lead to fast deterioration of spherical hinges or the steering mechanism. 3. On cars with the steering amplifier check up hoses about attritions or pollution, and a tube and connecting муфты hoses on presence of leaks. Also check up on presence of leaks protective covers of the steering mechanism. 4. Take a wheel from above and from below and try to swing it (address to an accompanying illustration). Small люфт can be, but if it big, the further research is necessary. Continue to swing a wheel while the assistant presses a brake pedal. If люфт now it is eliminated or has decreased, nave bearings are faulty. If люфт still is, there is a deterioration in suspension bracket hinges. 5. Now take a wheel on each side and try to swing it as before. Any movement can be caused deterioration of bearings of a nave or spherical hinges of cross-section steering draught of a steering. If internal or external шаровый the hinge is worn out, there will be obviously visual movement. 6. By means of the big screw-driver or a flat core, check up in a suspension bracket on deterioration the top plugs, raising suspension bracket components. Some movement should be, as plugs are made of rubber, but excessive deterioration should be obvious. Also check up a condition of all visible rubber plugs. 7. On the car standing on wheels, ask the assistant to turn a steering wheel forward-back on the one eighth turn. Should be available small люфт between a steering wheel and wheels. If business is not so, examine hinges and the plugs described preliminary, besides, check up universal hinges of a steering column about deterioration and the mechanism реечного managements it is direct.

Check of a back suspension bracket

CHECK

1. Block forward wheels, then поддомкратьте a back part of the car and reliably establish it on axial props. 2. Working as it is described above, check up bearings of a nave of a back wheel, the plug of a suspension bracket and shock-absorber fastening on presence of signs of deterioration.

Shock-absorber check

Shock-absorbers should be replaced always in pairs.

CHECK

1. Check up presence of leaks of a liquid round the shock-absorber case. If leak is found out, it is necessary to replace the shock-absorber. 2. Efficiency of the shock-absorber can be checked up rocking of the car from each party. The car should come back in normal position. If the car continues to be shaken, the shock-absorber — is possibly faulty. Examine also the top and bottom fastenings of the shock-absorber on deterioration presence.
