Suspension Masters,

Ano po ba symptoms ng sirang ball joint or wheel bearing lets say sa left front wheel?

Thanks. :D

[Ungas]

When you drive on small humps or potholes, there should be a ball knocking sound coming from the wheel well. Further checking can be done by lifting the front tire then try to wiggle it from side to side or up and down. A small play is fine and could still go further miles, but with loose ball joints that is a different situation.

To check your wheel bearing, try to get a momentum then shift to neutral. Don't step on fuel pedal and turn off radio to be able to hear a grinding sound coming from the damaged side.

[OTEP]

Wheel bearing - tuloy tuloy ang tunog niyan basta umiikot ang gulong. Try freewheling (patay makina) down a slope para marinig mo.

Ball joints - as ungas has said, sa lubak iyan maririnig.

[roydok]

Salamat po.

[tebs]

nakow! maingay yung bearing ko sa MU. ibig sabihin, kelangan na palitan...

ball joints, have to check that out

out of commission pa ngayon, nasira sa bulacan tatay ko e. kawawa naman yung sasakyan. di pa rin naiuuwi.

[kimpOy]

yung MU ang kawawa hindi yung tatay he..he

[tebs]

gwapo ng strada mo!!!!

gusto ko rin magpagawa!!! :twisted:

kimpoy, penge pera! hehehe....

[kimpOy]

tebats, courtesy of jan (lc80) yan

mag ahente na tayo kay ungas

[afrasay]

Pede po kayo itirik ng sirang bearing. Pag nag seize yan, no amount of power can push your vehicle. You have to let it cool for you to proceed.

[jay crew]

tanong ko lang ano kaya sira pagmay tumutunog sa harap na parang lata every timena madadaan sa lubak

[Ungas]

Tires sumasabit sa fenders?

Disc protective plate may tinatamaang part na gumagalaw?

Baka maluwang lang turnilyo nung plate sa likod ng disc rotors mo?

[jay crew]

malamang ungas di yung gulong yun,pacheck ko rin yung mga sinabi mo na protective plate,feeling ko yun yon kasi parang lata yung tunog

[Maki]

may dagdag lang ako...bakit before nung nasira lowerballjoints ng paj. ko wala naman ako naririnig na 2nog or whatever pagnalulubak...pero nung pinalift yung oto tapos pinainspect nalaman sira both sides na lower.

anyway may ques pa pao ako...after ko pa camber realign yung paj ko sa diamond motors dito sa may crame, parang sumama ride quality nung paj. and parang may konti maingay sa suspension pag nalulubak matagtag wid sound) also had d same experience with my sentra a few years back after having it cambered and realigned sa goodyear servitek...tnx

Meron yan probably na sound to the extent na sira nga yung lower ball joints. Baka maganda ang insulation ng Pajero kaya hindi mo narinig? :D

Kidding aside, Pano ba nila nalamang sira? What did they do and how did they perform the check-up? Baka naman sa konting kalog lang eh sinabi na sira agad? What made them conclude that the lower ball joint was the culprit?

This scenario is probably due to your tires. Driving them before with mis-align and not cambered have molded the tire threads. How long was your alignment intervals? Baka sa tagal mong hindi nag pa-align ng mga suspension, tabingi na yung upod ng goma mo. Nasanay na kasi sa pag gulong ng medyo naka-kontra dati, nung binago mo pati goma mo maninibago sa tindig at pag ikot.

HTH :D

Mga bossing experts, patanong nrin ako. Pinalitan na ang ball joints,bushing,pitman arm and idler arm ng pajero pero pag nalulubak minsan may naririnig ako clak clak sound sa may steering wheel, and sabay mafefeel mo rin sa steering wheel. ano ho kaya ang problema?
Saka mdyo madilim na ang headlights ko, bulb lang ba and wat brand ang pwde kabit, yung di sobrang mahal.

Better let the Steering Guru answer your question, paging afrasay! :mrgreen:

You could try Raybrig brand which is cheaper than PIAA. Change the headlight wire set and add relays then go for 135/100 watt bulb. :D

[CZintrclr]

Thanks ungas, mga magkano kaya aabutin and san kaya ok pagawa nito.

[Ungas]

The shops around Banawe area usually sells them. You ask GlennSter if they still carry Raybrig products.

Check mo yon gearbox mo. yon pinapasukan ng steering rod. Mayroon cover ng bearing yan screw type na may holes all around for you to use a screwdriver and hammer to tighten, baka maluwag. may lock din yun cover, baka rin maluwag. don't over tighten yun cover. yon lock ok lang to tighten.

with regards to bulbs, bili ka na lang ng 90/100w na halogens, mga P180 yon floser or P250 yon philips. now if you like HIDs 20,000 + ask UNGAS. :wink:

Sir Afrasay, ty very much for the info.
