need help on my paj

[jay101]

mga peeps, need help..

lately meron knocking sound galing sa front wheels usually pag dumadaan ako sa hump na isang gulong lang (yung isa ala sa humps) pero may time naman na ala yung tunog. pag lumiliko din minsan may ganong tunog minsan ala naman.
may naka pag sadi sa akin baka yung auto hub daw eh hindi ko naman alam kung ano at nasaan yon. common problem daw yon sa pajero. ano po ba yung auto hub na yon at san maganda magpagawa. thanks..

PM mo si jga22bo expert siya sa mga pajero bro. HTH :D

[pajerokid]

balljoints?

what's wrong with the auto-hubs?

[OTEP]

Anong model ng Pajero iyan? GEN I na local ay manual hub (may knob sa gitna ng front wheels na kailangan pihihitin para mag-4wd).

GEN II local walang locking hubs (manual or automatic). Laging engaged ang front hubs and 2wd is by a central axle disconnect.

As per the symptomps you mentioned, it sounds like the balljoints or control arm bushings are bad.

[jay101]

is a genII converted pajero, I already had the ball joints check and they are still ok. Im not sure about the control arm. do you know any shop na magaling tumingin ng underchassis ng pajero para madala ko agad, baka kasi lumala pa yung problema. salamat uli mga peeps

try mo goodyear servitek

[frt]

JAY : Better check if the Gear BOx is already OEM, otherwise baka pang toyota or isuzu yan.

If that is the case then your pitman arm is probably welded lang. HAve this things checked first...this might be the cause of your under chassis problems.

San location mo? Sa marikina meron goodyear servitek pero dapat meron marunong tumingin nang gear box kung OEM. Minsan sobrang ganda nung welding nung pitman arm akala mo original.

[jay101]

sige mga sir papacheck ko sa servitek lahat ng mga sinabi nyo pati na din yung gear box

[OTEP]

The unit being converted opens up a whole new world of problem areas that need to be checked.

Check first if the steering gearbox, idler arm and pitman arm are of the proper type (converters like using Toyota gearboxes) and are properly mounted in the proper locations.

If you have a 4Hlc and a 4lLc setting on your transfer case, you have the Super Select 4WD system and this system does not have locking hubs. Although some mechenics who are not SS4wd specialists will recommend putting in locking hubs instead of actually finding the problem area in the front axle system.

Check the drive status indicater on the dashboard if the two front wheel icons constantly keep blinking when you are in 2H (this usually means a vacum problem).

sir Otep yung blinking light ok naman ala ako non sa dash board ko gumagana yung 4wheel drive system ng pajero.
malamang yung isa sa mga nabanggit nyo ang problem, gear box, idler arm saka pitman arm. yung gear box ata nung ay toyota kasi yung sa officemate ko pinacheck na nya at toyota daw yung gearbox eh isa lang naman kinuhanan namin....

[sturbo]

may nagsabi sakin na once in a while daw dapat ine engage yung 4x4 otherwise masisira. is this true?

[OTEP]

Yes, but you have to do it on a surface that allows for slippage (e.g. loose sand). Otherwise, you risk damaging the system.

Unless you have a 4WD system similar to a Pajeros which can be used fulltime even on pavement by virtue of its center differential.
