Is it necessary to replace the rear axle bushing and how often?
The rear axle bushing needs to be replaced. Although the rear axle bushing has no fixed replacement cycle, it needs to be replaced when it is damaged or aging, and the rear axle bushing is broken, which will lead to the bushing failing to play the role of shock absorption, which will cause the chassis to vibrate and abnormal sound. If the vibration is serious, it will be related to the stability of the car when driving, and affect the comfort of the car. The rear axle bushing is the soft connection buffer between the axle and the sleeve, and the rear axle bushing may also cause a collision between the axle bushing, and may lead to the rear wheel and the wheel eyebrow asymmetry, abnormal tire wear.
The replacement method of the rear axle bushing: remove the two rear axle screws and tubing after the car is lifted up, and then use the special tool of the rear axle rubber sleeve to pull out the old rubber sleeve, and finally apply the grease to the new rubber sleeve, and install it. The rear axle refers to the component of the rear drive shaft of the vehicle power transmission, which is composed of two half Bridges, which can implement the differential movement of the half bridge, and the rear axle is also used to support the wheel and connect the rear wheel device. If it is a front axle driven vehicle, the rear axle is a follow-up bridge, which only plays a bearing role. If the front axle is not the drive axle and the rear axle is the drive axle, this time in addition to the bearing role, it also plays the role of driving and decelerating and differential speed.
The replacement cycle of the rear axle rubber sleeve does not have a fixed time, but is determined according to the use and wear degree. The rear axle rubber sleeve is an important part of the rear axle of the automobile, which mainly plays the role of shock absorption. When there is a problem with the rear axle rubber sleeve, it will directly affect the driving stability and riding comfort of the vehicle, because the damaged rubber sleeve can not effectively absorb and slow down the vibration from the road, which will pass through the chassis directly into the carriage, producing unpleasant abnormal sound. In addition, if the vibration is too serious, it may also have an adverse effect on the handling stability of the vehicle.
As an important part of vehicle power transmission, the rear axle is mainly composed of two half Bridges, and can realize the differential movement of half Bridges. It is not only a device used to support the wheel and connect the rear wheel, for the front axle driven vehicle, the rear axle plays the role of a follow-up bridge, mainly carrying the body weight. For vehicles with a front axle that is not a drive axle, the rear axle acts as a drive axle, in addition to the bearing role, it is also responsible for driving, decelerating and differential functions.
In daily maintenance, although the rear axle rubber sleeve has no fixed replacement cycle, the owner should regularly check its condition, and once it finds signs of damage or aging, it should be replaced in time to ensure driving safety. At the same time, good driving habits and regular vehicle maintenance also help to extend the service life of the rear axle rubber sleeve.
