I haven’t posted for a long time. I’m going to have a bubble today.

It is said that Tuguan has bought it for more than five years. After entering the autumn, there is a feeling of loose chassis at low speed, and there is also the sound of metal crashing, but this sound is not always there, but my wife says it is very annoying. And the steering wheel may be due to the large gap between the steering wheel, the steering wheel will also have a clatter when shaking (discharge the pressure bearing, the pressure bearing has just been changed. That post has not been sent, a little long, a little lazy), access to all kinds of information and posts, some riders said that adjusting the chassis up to the machine clearance screw can ease, this thing I have not tried, so the next time I have a chance to try.
What I need to replace this time is to ease the loose chassis and feel the aluminum seat problem, because the aluminum seat of the original car is hollow, the rubber has cracked and aged after five years of bumpy rubber, and the lower arm is new when I changed the aluminum alloy in the spring, so the small rubber cover does not need to be replaced (the post is longer, the person is lazier. The problem needs to be dealt with step by step, and the symptoms need to be eliminated step by step.
This time, the photo was in a hurry, so I didn’t believe the steps very much, because my son asked me next to me at that time. I was mainly afraid that he would bump into it, so I snapped a few pictures and roughly explained the steps.
First of all, let’s take a look at the protagonist this time, the aluminum seat.
Its main function is the fulcrum of the lower arm, and a lot of small bumps are filtered out through it. This is solid, which I bought online. Whether it is really discussed, because this is a fragile part, mainly because it is solid rubber. Feel it. The store owner says this one can be used.
This is the solid aluminum seat to get on the bus this time, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not, as long as it’s made of rubber, it can be used, anyway, it’s a fragile part, so if it doesn’t work, you can change it again.
The next step is to disassemble the aluminum seat of the original car. The one on the right side is easy to disassemble, while the one on the left side is relatively troublesome. This is to explain that the aluminum seat of Touguan is not divided between left and right, and that is Tuan’s, because Tuan’s has a groove.
This is the aluminum seat of the original car
To remove some of the bolts of the phase tube, otherwise you will not be able to take off the aluminum seat. In fact, the following picture is because the original car bolt I used last time to change the aluminum alloy beam is a little short, this time the replacement is long.
What it looks like when the aluminum seat bolt is removed.
Remove the lower arm of the aluminum seat
This is the aluminum seat of the original car. The rubber in the middle is hollow, and you can see that the rubber legs have been piled to one side.
There are also a lot of small cracks.
The rubber bracket has been deformed under heavy pressure
Accessories information of aluminum seat of original car
Here I found an abnormal wear spot, and the technician was not sure if it was caused by his disassembly, but I enlarged the picture and looked at this.
The local rubber sleeve has been damaged and should have been caused by wear and tear.
Similarly, there is an abnormal wear mark on this part of the hem arm. I don’t know if the clatter sound has anything to do with it.
Then there is the installation of the new aluminum seat.
The state of the new aluminum seat in place
The noodles are the short bolts of the original car that I want to replace this time. I bought the bolts online. They are not available in the store and are not expensive.
This is the comparison between the new and old Yuanbao beam bolts.
This is the exposed length of the new bolt after getting on the car.
This is the method of adjusting the clearance of the steering gear found on the Internet. I haven’t tried it yet.
According to the riders, it may improve the noise caused by the large gap, but it will change the size of the help.
After installation, the loose state of the chassis has been improved, and the compactness of the original car has returned. The next step is to continue to find solutions for abnormal noise caused by large gaps in the steering gear.
I took the time to change the snow tire again yesterday. Winter really comes. Safety comes first. Drive carefully. Have a nice day.![]()
