Do it yourself to replace Lao Meng’s wearing parts-painful and happy
MavisStrachey 
12 Lao Meng has been in this car for 12 years, and he has hardly worried about it in the middle. Except for the problems in the brakes and gearbox, everything else is basically fine. I have a good opinion of him. I went to a lot of trouble to change the gearbox assembly at the 4S store at the end of 18 years. Now that we have run more than 40,000 kilometers, there is a jitter and setback in low speed, and there is another oil leakage at the link between the gearbox and the engine. It is estimated that there is something wrong with the clutch seal, and the valve body may also be blocked.![]()

Meet them at the 4S store when you have a chance. The aging of some fragile parts is inevitable when the car is old. Recently, it happens to be a little free, so I messed about some things and gave everyone to touch the road in advance for reference. The accessories bought this time are mainly Mono (Wanli Road) and Tatu. Mono everyone must know that they are big brands. Many manufacturers’ accessories are made by his family. Zhisheng original car shock absorber is his home. I bought the hanging arm, top glue, pull rod and so on. Why did not buy Mono shock absorber, mainly because Bowade is cheap and cost-effective, this factory I have specially studied, very formal and also do OEM for some brands. There are also some accessories such as steering lever, front and rear balance rod opening rubber sleeve, rear sheep horn rubber sleeve, and so on. I don’t want to buy the so-called brand made in Taiwan on the Internet, and so on. I can’t tell whether it’s made by a small factory or refurbished. Tatu, I have also studied that it is specially made for Changan Ford. Under the American brand, it is actually purely domestic, but it has the name of the manufacturer, and the things it produces are very dedicated. I believe it is much more reliable than those small factories that claim to be made in Taiwan and Japan. Of course, this is purely my personal judgment, as to how to make your own choice when you buy.
This time there are two sides of Mono (Wanli Road) suspension swing arm, shock absorber top glue assembly. Online celebrity brand Bowade’s four shock absorbers, rear glue assembly, dust cover, buffer block.
Mono’s front balance rod.
The open rubber sleeve of the front balancing rod of Tatu.
Vacuum pump gasket
Tatu steering rod, rear balance rod, rear balance rod opening rubber sleeve, rear sheep angle rubber sleeve.
Vacuum pump with the problem of oil leakage in the womb, as well as solenoid valve rubber pad and valve chamber cover pad there is no oil leakage. No, it’s not a Ford.
The new rubber cover is waxed, so it feels like it is of ordinary workmanship.
After taking apart the new and old rubber pads, the old ones are obviously on the hard side. It is recommended to glue when loading, or there will be oil leakage.
Install and clean it a little so that you can see if there is any more oil leakage next time.
I did a little homework before removing and replacing the shock absorber assembly and hanging the arm swing. Although I do not reject McPherson suspension, there is no problem with tens of thousands of yuan cars in order to save costs, but when it comes to class B cars, they have to be double-arm suspension anyway.
Changan Ford is extremely cost-saving, and the chassis parts are all made of iron.
What is the most important thing before work, equipment! Equipment! Equipment! This time I spent a lot of money on a Stanley suit, even though I already have a complete small, medium and large flying suit at home. Ha ha! That boy will hate having too many tools.
There is a big electric wrench, I C. The price has just been reduced after buying it. I’m depressed.
Ha ha ha! This set of equipment should be bought. At that time, I felt that it would not be so good for shock absorbers to be dismantled once, and the performance-to-price ratio was not high.
Be sure to buy forging money, I just think it is only one time to buy a cheap welding money! As a result, I learned a long lesson and broke it when pressing the spring. Yes, you read it right. I went outside to be welded, and the ten yuan I saved was returned.

I still haven’t bought a cheap special shock absorber, because I can make one myself.
This is the plus version.
Do-it-yourself disassembly and damping tool made by angle grinder
Compared with the old and new, since the shock absorbers have been changed, it is suggested that the top glue of the shock absorbers should be replaced at the same time, so that it will take a second time to save the abnormal noise.
The rubber sleeve of the balancing rod hardens and deforms
Two shock absorbers, one does not rebound directly, the other springback very slowly, it must have been scrapped.
To win the shock absorption installation is to be at the right angle, or it is very likely to install abnormal noise.
Ha, you can mark it again if you don’t rest assured.
The mark was done in vain, the Nima accident occurred, and the special tool was broken.![]()

After the shock absorber tools are welded out, go on with the work. I put in two safety brackets, and my life is the most important.
It worked so hard that it got rid of it all at once. It really hurts.
Disassembly sequence, first disassemble the swing arm suspension ball head, universal joint link, steering rod ball head, replace the suspension swing arm. Then remove the brake pump assembly, along with the sheep’s horn and shock absorber assembly. This is the fastest way, and it is also the experience that I have spent a long time summing up.
The first two have all been changed, and the mental boys are exhausted.
Be sure to change the top glue when you change the balance lever after this.
There was a joke that the screw was detachable and the FK could not be removed, but it was later found that it was welded.
Replacement of rear shock absorber
Contrast between the old and the new
Basically no rebound, but the oil leakage is not particularly obvious.
The rear sheep horn rubber sleeve is also called the rear longitudinal support arm rubber sleeve, which is located at the picture mark.
After hanging a clear water iron.
This one has no proprietary tools but can only be removed from the repair shop.
The way the assembly is removed.
Has been aging and cracking, this is why sometimes feel that the rear wheel will jump, a little more serious will appear to eat the tire phenomenon.
Rubber is already very soft.
This rubber-sheathed bracket is made of aluminum. Try not to hit it with a hammer. It is best to press it out slowly with a Jack, and it has to be skillful and skillful.
The removal of the old rubber sleeve can be a little more violent, but don’t hurt the longitudinal support arm.
This place is very thin, when installing new plastic covers, we must be careful not to hurt the longitudinal support arm, the loss will outweigh the gain.
The new rubber suit is skillful, because the place where the rubber sleeve is installed in the longitudinal support arm is very thin and needs to be pressed in with skillful force. My method is to polish the edge of the rubber sleeve with an angle grinder and form a small slope.
That’s it, it’s not easy to take photos even if you work alone. Everyone, just make do with it! You can ask me at any time if you don’t understand anything, but I still suggest that if you don’t have certain hands-on skills and have incomplete tools, operate carefully. It took two days of hard work, but some of it seemed simple but it was not so easy to get started! If the tools are missing or broken, or there is a problem with the disassembly and assembly sequence at that link, or there is a lack of accessories, it will take a long time. Many chassis parts also have requirements for the venue. Just rely on the jack to lift it up at the height and hold back the pressure below., it feels really sour. These accessories are less than one-third of the total in 4S stores, and all are from major brand manufacturers. Of course, the money I spend on buying tools is far more expensive than the working hours of going to the auto repair shop. I am happy that it is hard to buy, and happiness comes first.
