Checking the technical condition of the wheel drive shafts

Checking the sealing collars of the drive shafts

To check the shafts, do the following:

- Raise the front of the car and place it on supports;

- turn the wheel and check both rubber cuffs of the shaft for cracks;

- check the strength of the installation of the tape holders;

- check the presence of grease on the sealing collar.

Diagnosis of malfunctions of the wheel drive shafts

Noises that occur in the transmission indicate the following problems:

- rhythmic beating when pressing the clutch pedal (can change when turning the steering wheel) indicates a malfunction on the part of the corresponding wheel;

- if the steering wheel vibrates when the wheels are turned out, then the outer hinge is probably damaged;

- crackling during acceleration in turns indicates a malfunction in the wheel drive shaft.
