20 years old king of repairers, with an audi q5 maintenance experience, told you about the outside cage
In the afternoon, an old client drove the car to my shop, an audi q5. The description says, "change, i've come to you as soon as i turn the wheel, and sometimes it affects the wheel. I can't believe it
I told him not to rush, to drive around the factory, to the left and to the right, and to listen to that sound, you know。
I said, "brother, don't be afraid, you're probably not the speedbox problem. Lift the car up, i'll show you."
And i pointed to the place under his car full of oil mud and rubber condoms, and i said, "that's it, the outside cage is broken. Two new ones, plus working hours, and $500 will be done to keep you quiet."
In fact, vehicles such as audiq5, when turning the front wheel, sound of a “twilight” metal knock, with more than 90 per cent of the failure point being an outer ball cage。
The extraterrestrial cage, also known as the "soft joint" connecting the gearbox to the wheel. Its function is to transfer the power from the gearbox to the wheel, while ensuring a normal turn of the wheel. It is guarded by a rubber dust shield filled with special lubricant。
What happens if the dust shield breaks and i don't find out in time
1. The mud and water will run in and pollute the lubricant。
2. Rolling beads and orbits lose lubrication and begin to wear and tear exceptionally, creating gaps。
By the time you hear the sound of the “twilight”, the bearings and orbits inside are worn out, the entire outer cage must be replaced。
If you drag it or leave it, the cage will be completely broken and the half axle removed. In that case, the car would break anchor as it turned; in serious cases, the car would lose power while it was driving, and perhaps the next parts would be damaged, seriously affecting the safety of the vehicle。
How much does it cost you to switch to a half-axis with a price of $45,000, plus a possible gearbox "link check"? The principle is that i can fix the car, change the parts, and save you real money。
For the extraterrestrial cage, you have to remember three points, which is the lesson i learned from 20 years of experience:
1. Stop waiting and fix it! Once found to be broken, even if it did not sound, the dust shield was replaced with lubricant, at a cost of $1,200. Once it rings, it's like dragging hundreds of small things into thousands。
2. The spare parts are to be selected in depth! Outside cages must buy original plant or international large-scale packages such as gkn, ntn. I've seen people who want to buy a side factory cheaply, with bad material, not enough density, not too long before it rings, tearing them apart, and all their hours are lost。
If you find rust, you must not smash half of the axle with a hammer, or break the half-axis or bearings. It's a hand job。
My plan: a pair of brand balls, plus a 500-dollar work-time bill。
If there is a delay: the ball cage is broken, the entire half-axis needs to be replaced, the processing time costs added to the rescue trailer costs are unknown。
Not only did i save him $3,000, but more importantly, it was the deadliest thing to keep him out of danger。
In fact, repairing the car is not so mysterious as it is, in many cases, a broken rubber condom, a damaged small fitting. Not only can you save thousands of maintenance costs, but most importantly, you're in a repair shop with a background, and you're no longer being slaughtered as a curry。
Car repair is the building of conscience. For 20 years, every car, every time we work, we have to be able to handle our skills and trust the owner. #audi q5 #audi #audi #audi #governance #governance audi #gallcage #cars maintenance #
