It is best not to procrastinate when the vehicle finds a problem, just as my right front shock absorber had a slight oil leakage as early as a few years ago, because it has not been taken seriously, the result of this inspection is that the problem is even more serious, not only the oil leakage of the shock absorber is as simple as it has been delayed for a long time, resulting in the damage of the balance rod and the outer rod of the steering engine, and it is time to replace it. And this weekend is the second solar term in winter, Lesser Snow. When we are about to enter a cold wave and a high frequency of strong cold air activities, this problem can no longer be delayed. We should pay close attention to solving it and ensure the safety of using cars.

A few years ago, when I was on the shelf for maintenance, I found the oil leakage of the shock absorber, but I asked du Niang. By pressing the bumper hard and then releasing it, the vehicle still had two or three jumps, so I relaxed my vigilance and felt that the shock absorber was still working well. But when driving, especially when driving on a bumpy road, there will always be some noise in front of the car, probably because you are used to listening to the radio, commuting to work and running on the highway, so you don’t take it seriously. The result of such carelessness is that the cost of replacing the shock absorber is much higher than that of replacing the shock absorber in the first place.

Shock absorbers do not have to be replaced in pairs. in general, which one is broken and which one is broken, of course, it is best to change one pair at a time. Because my shock absorber has been leaking oil for a long time, if only one shock absorber is replaced, there is a big difference in hardness between the two sides, which is hard on one side and soft on the other, and the high and low on the other side of the road will affect the stability of the vehicle, so this time I will directly replace a pair. Shock absorption will affect the stability and comfort of the vehicle during emergency braking, sharp turning and road driving, so it is recommended that you replace your car as soon as possible if this part is broken.

When I removed the balancing rod, I saw that the ball was already miserable. The main function of the balance rod is to ensure the stability of the car body. if it is damaged, then the lateral stability function of the vehicle will fail, the turning roll will also be increased, of course, there will be abnormal chassis noise. To put it this way, when the two wheels are not at the same horizontal height, the balance rod will play a role, avoid the tilt of the car body, produce anti-tilting resistance and restrain the car body rolling. Another point is that there will always be a cackling noise on the unusual road surface, and there will be the same abnormal noise when hitting the direction. The chassis noise caused by the accelerated wear of the ball head is on the one hand, and the hidden danger of safety is another level that must be faced and solved immediately.

So this time, I replaced the front two shock absorbers, the balancing rod and the outer pull rod of the direction machine. Although it can be said that there was a lot of bleeding, it finally solved the hidden safety problem that has perplexed me for a long time. When changing parts, joke with the master, or the new looks comfortable, people say, that is, where to spend money, yes, this is the truth. There is also a sharing, that is, for safety-related accessories, it is still recommended to replace the original parts, although the price may be a little expensive, but it is always safety first. After the change, the driving feeling is really much better, the most important reflection is in the “light”. Although the 2009 Cruz is not an electronically assisted steering wheel, it is much easier to drive in the direction than before. Of course, four-wheel positioning has been done, although the value is correct, but it is still necessary to observe whether the steering wheel deviates or not, which will be verified at the next high speed.

When the car was parked in a suitable station, the master quickly finished the vehicle protection and was ready to start this major operation. the first step was to remove the two front wheels. Today’s work is focused on the two front wheels.
