CV Joint

[ged]

Mga boss question. Nagpalit ako ng cv joint ng lancer ko. Pagkagawa, napansin ko lang na parang may drag na yung oto. Best example, pag downhill, (3rd or 4th gear ako), parang nag eengine brake agad and bumabagal talaga takbo kahit pababa, pag hindi ako nakatapak sa accelerator. Hindi sya yung tipong aabot muna sa max speed nung gear bago mag engine brake. So dapat, nakatapak ako kahit konti sa accelerator para hindi bumagal takbo. Dati kasi nung hindi ko pa pinapagawa, pag kunwari downhill (3rd or 4th gear ako) pabilis ang andar, and mag reretain lang sya sa speed pag naabot na yung max speed ng gear.

Dahil ba bago yung cv joint kaya ganon or merong hindi nakabit ng maayos? Sorry new driver lang, wala pa experience and wala ko comparison.

Salamat sa sasagot.

Check if the brakes are dragging
After a stright drive of about 20 minutes feel for a difference in temperature between the two front wheels if you don't have an infra red thermometer. If the two front wheels have different temperatures and the one with the newly replaced birfield joint has dragging brakes. This could be attributed to improper reassembly, restrictive brake hose, misalignment of the brake parts. Although a remote possibility, the brake master cylinder could be at fault. Take it back to who replaced the joint and voice your concern and have them revisit the last known disturbed area.

Great diagnosis 👍

brakes is not only the first thing that came to my mind, it is the only thing that came to mind.

Thanks for the advises. Binalik ko na sa pinaggawaan ko, then baklas/kabit brakes. Di nga lang binuksan ulet yung CV joints. Mukang ok naman na, pero parang may feeling pa din akong dragging, o baka pakiramdam na lang dahil sa pangyayaring yun, or not feeling contented dahil hindi na chineck yung CV joints.

Regarding temperature ng wheels pano ba ang tamang checking? Nung pinakiramdaman ko, medyo mainit pa din sya kanina, yung rotor disc pala sobrang init, ehehe.

Glad that you're contented��


Do nt touch the brake rotors until they cool off.
Check the wheel not the rotor. If the cr can roll by itself on a slight incline in neutral and parking brakes releasedthat confirms your brakes are not dragging
