Wheel hub bearing damage related to shock absorber? Not only have and still very big! - bearing knowledge

There is more than you have to believe that a lot of people for the car after market there are some hazy feeling, here will help you uncover the car repair and maintenance when the unknown story. To come out between what is the most like the toy car, I want to in addition to SMART should never that brand can be honoured! Once I thought of SMART is a model for a toy company, but when I really understand it. It is not a model, not only is the Mercedes Benz's brand of a child. But I don't see it completely from the exterior with Mercedes is there any connection between, just know it is a Mercedes and the product of famous brand watch swatch. The SMART recognition has been pulled down, the left front shock absorber and the left front wheel bearing is replaced. Even such a cartoon of a car is able to withstand the fault, the following is able to have the opportunity to let us see the SMART workmanship and materials in the chassis. Right front shock absorber and claw bearing has been all I break down, leaving a messy arm and the hem of the brake cylinder. The SMART front suspension simple like the plain boiled water, this point is really like a toy car. This is the brake disc and brake plate damper, due to the market positioning and price of SMART, so did not adopt the design of the ventilation panel. Driving a SMART people, after all, it is impossible to like audi S3 frequent brakes and driving. The shock absorber of oil spill is unable to repair, replace only one solution is. Because the original basically do not have adopted twisted tooth type of shock absorber, shock absorber intraluminal high pressure gas has been integrated into the production of the inside, as long as it is opened it broke. Because SMART smaller body, so the spring force on the shock absorber are also small, change very easy. Maybe in the picture is not very intuitive, actually this is about half the size only S level of shock absorber. Replace the shock absorber is one of the projects of maintenance, replace the horn bearing is the real key. Diagram is painted yellow horns bearing, it is to cooperate together with horns, on the other end connected to the wheels. As long as the wheel rotation, the bearing will turn, so its bad working environment, damage is also understandable. Remove the bearing is very troublesome, was going to press it can be come out. How SMART horn is too small, in the press can't realize positioning. So can only live to the bearing with a hammer to hit, I hit nearly one hundred ~ take forty minutes later, the bearing is smashed down at last. Problem is that the bearing failure is when driving, there will be a 'rumbling' sound. And with the increase of the speed, the sound will be gradually enlarged. This is typical of the voice of the bearing clearance is too large, or easy to judge. SMART claw bearing adopted the assembly system, with flange is meshing. Figure in the purple is the true sense of the bearing, wheel flange is used to undertake. Generally the bearing should be locked, preventing and claw out of flange plate. But on this SMART, but nothing. Although bearing and claw USES is interference fit, but mercedes-benz to own manufacturing process is also really too confident. Much easier to install bearing, can directly use press to reset. Change the shock absorber and claw bearing it, at the moment can bloom again. McPherson suspension design let many models have very small before hanging, save the design of very large space. So you will see the wheelbase only about one meter eight SMART can still adopt independent suspension design. Because the body is too short, so the SMART shock absorber tower had to be under the headlight. Yes that is to say, need to change the shock absorber together with the headlight pull down. Shock absorber assembly is installed in place, reserved three bolt hole in the flange plate is used to install a tire bolts. Frankly, this is really a very bold attempt. I think this is the only a dare to use three bolts to fixed tire models. See the shape you can imagine this is Benz car design? Write in the last: claw bearing belongs to the category of the wearing parts? Of course not, actually claw bearing is not so easy to bad. Many models are basically don't have to change the rest of my life, for some of the larger cars, weight of the car using relatively few mileage. But for quality is less than a ton of SMART car body, the bearings may be a bit awkward. Must be a shock absorber after broken, bearing working condition become more bad. Load increases, leading to the bearing hang out in advance. So seemingly simple fault, behind are linked. Auto parts fit more and more high now, each other are the digest. Failure is not repair, perhaps really bigger losses.
