Foreword: Recently, I have discovered a problem when driving. Xiao Xin always makes a squeaking sound when crossing the speed bump or blocking the road. As long as the road surface is uneven, or when starting or accelerating rapidly, abnormal noises will occur immediately. After inspection by the master in the store, he informed him that the ball head of the plain cross bar and the rubber support were broken, and these two places were located in the shock-absorbing part in front of the vehicle. This kind of failure was relatively common, so I quickly ordered accessories for Xiao Xin to replace it.

1. Car owner’s small file:
Aika ID: Meteor Shower_007
Car series:2013 Skoda Xinrui
Vehicle age: 7 years
mileage traveled: 130000 kilometers
Maintenance items: Replacement of the original front stability connecting rod and rubber bearing

2. Replacement process

The young man who came to the store in charge of after-sales was helping me register the vehicle information.

The maintenance master opened the cabin cover and prepared to remove the parts.

Xiao Xin took off…

Remove the engine guard first.

Then start dismantling the main components.

This is the removed rubber support for the front stability connecting rod. You can see that there is an obvious crack. This is the cause of the abnormal sound of the chassis. If it is not solved in time, the sound will become louder and louder, and it will also affect the shock absorption. Have a certain impact.

Then remove the front stability connecting rod. This is a part with the ball head of the universal balance bar. There is a high chance of damage. If the chassis has abnormal sound after a certain number of years, you must check this part.

A pair of old parts removed.

This is a brand new original front stability link.

Give a close-up of the area.

A pair of brand-new original front stability connecting rod rubber supports with rough particles on the outside.

Take a look at the details again.

All the accessories are ready, install them immediately.

After three steps and five steps, the master quickly installed the parts for me, and finally installed the guard plate for inspection.

Finally, we settled the expenses. The total consumption of working hours and accessories was 623 yuan.
3. Summary
After replacing the accessories, Xiao Xin’s abnormal sound disappeared immediately, and the chassis felt more stable during driving at high speed. The quality of the original factory was still worthy of recognition. The after-sales master also specially tried the car for me and said that if there were any problems, I could come back for free. With this sentence, I felt much more at ease. After washing the car, I went home happily. Xiao Xin’s fault was perfectly solved.
