Penny parts in the suspension, which cause many serious problems

With the advent of hum and vibration when the car is moving, most drivers face sooner or later. There are many reasons for their occurrence: from “sores” in the braking system and even under the hood, to various “ilments” in the “hodovka”. Therefore, often even after sorting out half the car, it is not possible to get rid of unpleasant sensations. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells how to return the “iron horse” to its normal state and not go bankrupt in repairs.
Let’s briefly recall that dangerous vibrations can arise, for example, when the engine mounts or gearbox are worn out, when the “cushions” are no longer able to effectively damp vibrations from a rotating power unit. And wedge-shaped calipers, “tired” tires and “eight” on one or more rims can also be to blame. With the suspension, they immediately look at the so-called internal CV joints. Their strong slack also causes twitching when moving. In general, it is already clear that the work to eliminate all the above errors will cost a very decent amount of money. But even after such a drastic intervention, the problem is not solved! Let’s see where we can “dig” further.
The CV joints already mentioned really need a good lubrication. Even new ones. What can we say about those who have worked for more than a year. The aging of the lubricant or its leakage from the anther causes the shaking effect. So there is no need to save money for oil. In addition, it is cheap. And, of course, it is necessary to monitor the condition of penny rubber anthers. A simple cut or tear can cause premature wear of a number of expensive components.
Check out the stabilizer bars. Many manufacturers try to make these parts very light, so they are made of special alloys and even plastic. Therefore, they “live” for a short time, especially on crossovers and SUVs.
Another spare part that requires attention is the drive outboard bearing (left or right). Usually they are forgotten, but the details can just fall apart. Then you need a tow truck to get to the service. If this happens on a country road, you will have to pay a lot of money.
And a few words about the nuances of service. It happens that servicemen replace worn CV joints, but do not touch the “suspended”. As a result, the vibrations are much less, but do not disappear completely. A satisfied driver writes it off as breaking in new parts and presses the accelerator. The consequences are described above – the sudden “self-destruction” of the bearing and the cry for emergency help.
