Another replacement of the crosspiece in the steering universal joint - Toyota Carina, 1.5 liter, 1997
So, the background:
at 117200 something knocked on the steering wheel, and only when the engine was running. We found out that the cardan shaft (lower) was used. Bablos was not, and it was decided to change the crosspiece. Was bought 2 pieces: from the TAZ and from the company ASVA. We decided to put asva. set, it was not me who did it - the price of the issue is 1000 rubles for work, and 100 rubles for a crosspiece. She traveled up to 134,000 km. It boomed again. Bablos were, and was bought in Avtoleo steering cardan (original). He went up to 174500 km and began to thunder again. In the originality of the original in Moscow, I am very good. I have strong doubts, and therefore I just bought a crosspiece from a TAZ and introduced it there. it was done crookedly and hastily, therefore nothing changed, and this weekend I changed the Zhiguli crosspiece to a normal one (TOYO, in a normal package, in a sealed bag, outwardly - of normal quality, according to the inscriptions - Japanese. Cat.st-1640 ).
The knock did not go away, but the play in the cardan was clearly gone. There are options for the fact that the sound is given by the internal, salon cardat, for which the cross is also already stocked, only a different scheme for replacing it is being developed. Can still give such a sound to give a plastic steering wheel.
Generally in the process of eliminating knocking.
Photos of disgusting quality, but ...
1 and 2 - a universal joint with a cross from a TAZ - ended in weeks
3 and 4 - a TOYO cross, zfeksirovannaya in the cardan through washers. Otherwise, the grease boils.
There is also an assumption that when welding the TAZ crosspiece, it was severely overheated and the metal was tempered.
Price tag: 1,000 ₽ Mileage: 175,000 km
separately check the upper cross then lower with both hands holding on to different axes
I read reports on the replacement of the cross, the people calmly put the Taz one and did not cook anything. They cut off the old crosspiece with a grinder and put a new one with the help of a vice.
By the way, I also have something rattling in the steering = (the crosspieces do not seem to play. When the steering wheel rolls, a knock is heard above the cabin crosspiece. What can wear out there and how difficult is it to change?
Well, the pillow can only be fired when a signal is sent to the sensor.
I will not pick anything yet, since I have not yet bought the heads with an asterisk, but they are needed to remove the pillow.
it still needs to be fixed there ... by default the cross is firmly inserted and riveted.
There are only plastic sleeves on top, like ... although I did not climb. and a knock only when the engine is running :( Kstaiti, if you are going to pick something there, do not forget to remove the minus from the battery, so that the pillow would not be pulsed :)
Do not flatter yourself ... the pillow can be easily pulsed from a short circuit ... by the way, I never found the sensors in front of the car :) but you don't need to remove the pillow ... there is a sleeve only from the bottom ... yesterday I read that it is just picking out ... more precisely, it is difficult to pick it out, it is tight there is sitting. on the weekend, maybe I'll see where it is thundering ...
