Repairing Tie Rod end, Rack end and Ball joint

[nas77]

Is this a good idea?

[qman]

if you have the tools gandang weekend project nyan.

[umzzzzz]

kung may kalampag yung ride mo, oo...kung wala, leave them alone.

[jim]

usually pinapalitan na yang mga yan pag may sira na. kaya naman i-DIY basta kumpleto ka sa tools at may tyaga ka ;)

[nas77]

There are shops that claim that they can repair them. Only question is, if it would last. Was on a weekend getaway (Talisay) and after that felt like my steering kinda plays. Parang kumakabig ng konti pag may mga groove sa daan.

[umzzzzz]

try visiting cruven or zee (whichever is nearest). pero normal naman ata kapag may grooves yung daan, gumagalaw ang steering wheel.


hth...

palitan mo na lang ng 555 brand. ok na ok!!! wala akong tiwala sa repacking or repair ng mga steering parts at bearings.

any idea how much yung mga yun? ford lynx yun kotse.

[jim]

no idea kung magkano para sa Ford Lynx, pero di naman siguro magkakalayo ang price para sa Toyota Corolla. kapapalit ko lang din ng ball joints tapos nag-canvass na rin ako para sa ibang parts.

Ball Joints pair (555 brand) - Php 1500.00
Tie rod end pair (555 brand) - Php 1350.00
Rack end (555 brand) - Php 900.00

mga sir, meron daw jan sa santolan area sa ilalim daw ng bridge papuntang crame, may gumagawa jan sabi lang sakin nun naka-kwentuhan ko sa lto magaling daw. engineered type and gawa. bine-burn nila yun. then parang bago na daw, tested na daw nya. but i dont know san banda don. may nakak-alam kaya dito sa tsikot.com nun area na yun? or nakapunta na don?

bros,

yung sa may santolan . . .

ilalim ng underpass, intersection santolan EDSA, sa caltex (?) gas station, katabi ng mga nagtinda ng uniforms for secty guards, after ALMERs (hindi po yung Almars) (gumagawa ng mil caps) . Shockmaster yata ang name and then may isa pang shop magkatabi sila.

IMO, oks naman gumawa , repacking and may process pa silang ginawa sa mga ball joints, pitman arm ng ride namin. maganda ang gawa . . .mura pa ang singil . . . kaya lang dapat maaga pumunta kasi madami custom. . .

I believe Zee or Cruven can repair them, but having them pressed/machine-shopped isn't really a good idea.

mga boss question lng po...pwede ba ung velocity axle and spindle box(di lang ako sure kung yun nga tawag dun,pero yun ung tawag ng mekanikong pinagpagawan ko eh) ng honda hatchback sa civic esi? thanks po sa mga magrereply..bago lang po kase ko dito eh...darthowel

[nas77]

na ano? ipagawa yun axle velocity?..hmmm..I don't think it can be repaired anymore kasi para siyang gears sa luob..pagsira na, try to replace it..malalaman mo kung sira na if your turning right of left while driving/cruising, may tutunog na taktak, toktok something lang dat (ganon ba sayo).. mine kasi, I had repacked (by my mechanic in shell) a high-temp grease while replacing the boots of the axle velocity on my 7g galant, (di pa naman sira yun, so preventive lang ginawa ko)..and surprisingly, na-prolong pa yung buhay ng velocity ko, di ko pa nairereplace for 8 years narin,..so to speak.

And to add that, one of the reasons of wear and tear nito is, boots are already worn out (i.e. chipped off already), so it will cause the grease to spill out (bcoz of spinning, of course), thus lessening the lubrication of it,.and the setback is metal-to-metal contact. Try mo, baka it will work,..pero kung sira na, replace it already. If you want a good replacement part/s, try FEDERAL MOGUL brand, oki 'to bro. fyi lang po!..gud luck brader!
