Steering machine tie rod replacement
PearlNell 
11 In recent years, I didn’t care about the front toe until the direction slowly deviated and the tires began to grind. Last week, when I went to a street shop to change tires, I accidentally discovered that the horizontal rod of the steering machine had a clearance of about 1 mm, and it was impossible to determine who was on the left and right of the rod. The clearance is big. After discovering this situation, I finally understood the reason for eating the fetus. After going to Auto Parts City on the weekend, I hesitated for a moment between original parts and brand subsidiary factory parts, and resolutely chose a subsidiary factory. First, one piece was 50 yuan cheaper, and I bought one piece on the left and right pieces together, and the price was close to the people; second, it was a more than ten years old car., you can withstand it with a subsidiary factory with reliable quality. After receiving the parts, I found a repair shop to negotiate the working hours and start work immediately. Remove the tire, loosen the claw nut, and press down the ball head of the tie rod with a special tool. After pulling out the tie rod, shake the ball head of the tie rod. Compared with the new tie rod, the old part really has a lot of freedom. It seems that the crux has been found. The installation is not complicated, and the recovery is carried out step by step. After initially using a tape measure to confirm that the front toe is completed, we drive to a tire shop for a four-wheel alignment. During the test run, the steering wheel was deliberately let go, and there was no deviation at all, indicating that the toe positioning parameters were accurate, and it was basically determined that the fault of excessive width of the tie rod was completely eliminated.
Auxiliary factory parts, there is a forging brand.
The tie rods are on the left and right, one on each side.
Pull out the ball head groove behind the tie rod.
The old tie rod is obviously abnormal and the ball head is very loose.
Old parts show signs of oxidation.
Install new tie rods.
Insert the new piece into place.
When installing the dust sleeve, pay attention to sealing both ends to prevent water from oxidizing the ball head grease.
The croissant ball head has been in good condition for more than ten years. It is suspected that the old tie rod ball head was flooded, which caused the grease to lose its protective effect.
