Hyundai 49605-2BA50 Joint Kit-Front Axle Differential Side RH

Gently rock the steering wheel back and forth with the vehicle on the ground and front wheels straight ahead to check for excessive free play due to worn front wheel bearing, main and intermediate shaft yoke, lower arm ball joint or steering system joint, or broken or poorly adjusted steering gear, etc. Swaying around corners, excessive body movement over rough roads and binding when turning the steering wheel are some other signs of faulty suspension or steering systems. The corner bouncing test is done by depressing the vehicle at each corner and releasing it to see whether it returns to a level position after one or two bounces. While bouncing the vehicle listen for squeaks from the suspension components. Jack up the vehicle using a floor jack and support it securely with jack stands. Check tires for uneven wear patterns and proper inflation pressures. Evaluate any damage or lubricant leakage on the universal joint located between the steering shaft and housing of steering gear. Inspect track rod ends for excessive play while checking for looseness or damage in steering linkage. On all suspension and steering parts look out for loose bolts, broken parts or damage as well as deteriorated rubber bushings. The assistant can check that components freely move without any chafing effect during which case there is no evidence of binding within them as he turns the wheel side by side since it moves according to his effort however his hand feels loose enough but not too much so that it does not turn alone if given an opportunity. In an attempt to ascertain if there is wear on each control arm try prying up then down using a prybar on them while testing their strength through lateral movement; by extension we can also say they do not stick easily thereby this tool will be handy once again! Detect any defect in grease leaking from ball joint boots as well as those having torn apart boots when inspecting cars' CV joints through observing CV Joint Boots closely which have either cracky boots or unfastened clamps; to add on this factor is important because it prevents dirt, water and debris from entering CV joint.

If the CV joint boots must be replaced, one should prepare all the options before beginning this job, as rebuilt drive axles can be ordered for exchange that will help to save time and efforts. This allows you to check whether an assembly has spare parts and the cost of the parts before effecting the disassembly. A number of auto parts stores sell split type replacement boots that do not require the driveaxle to be pulled out, this is good because if you want to clean the CV joint as indicated, it is easier and safer to do so when the driveaxle is out of the vehicle. Outboard CV joints should not be dismantled since all outer CV joint are Birfield while the inner ones are of varying designs. Starting off, the first and obvious step should be the removal of the driveaxle and subsequent clamping of the immobilized part on the vise equipped with wooden jaws to prevent any undesired harm to the object of investigation. With your hand, check the CV joint for any undue looseness and suitable Cl-Wheel motion; if a boot is sabalous, remove, scrub and assess for harm. Then it is necessary to take off the clamps and gradually push off the outer boot and remove the housing from the joint, indicating the position of the tripod and the axleshaft to assemble them again. This, ensure you pull out the tripod joint snap-ring then knock the tripod joint off the driveaxle using a brass punch and hammer without marring the bearing areas. All components must to be clean with solvent, check external and internal damages, signs of great wear. Thus, if the inner CV joint has to be replaced then a new one can be fixed on to the old axleshaft; however, if outer CV joint requirement change then there is a need to buy an outer CV joint along with the axleshaft. To reassemble there is need to cover the splines on the inner end of the axleshaft with tape and then place the clamps and boot on the axleshaft can be followed by the tripod or double offset joint. Coat all these parts with grease, and screw the tripod into the housing, and then pack grease around the threaded part. Check that boot is correctly positioned, correct the CV Joint Boot length, balance the pressure inside the boot, and finally tighten the clamps. Last but not the least; fit the driveaxle assembly.
