The vehicle can be equipped with a solid beam axle or a rear banjo axle
In order for the rear axle gearbox to last longer you need:
- - do not overload the car;
- - monitor the oil level in the rear axle;
- - clean the breather after driving through mud;
- - perform maintenance on time.
- Cause of malfunction - Remedy
Noise (hum) of the bridge at high volume:
- - Loosening the drive gear flange nut - Tighten the nut
- - Wear or play of the working surfaces of the drive gear or differential bearings - Check the running surfaces of the bearings and, if necessary, replace them. Adjust the bearing tension, article - "Assembling and adjusting the axle gearbox"
Bridge pulsating noise (winding up):
- - The driven gear fastening bolts are loose or it is installed askew - Tighten the driven gear mounting bolts and check the runout of its “back”
High pitch bridge "howl" noise:
- - Insufficient or excessive oil level - Restore the oil level to normal, article - "How to change the oil in the rear axle gearbox"
- - Non-recommended oil is used - Change oil
- - The contact between the teeth of the new final drive gears is incorrectly adjusted - Check the contact patch and adjust it
- - Scoring on the working surface of the main gear teeth - Replace gears
A strong knocking sound in the axle when you sharply press the accelerator pedal after coasting or when turning:
- - Excessive wear of differential parts - Check the total play in the main gear and differential. Replace worn parts
Continuous knocking and crunching in the bridge:
- - Wear of teeth or bearings - Replace worn parts
Oil leakage through the cuffs of the drive gear, hub, as well as along the plane of the crankcase and cover connector:
- - Wear of drive gear cuffs and rear wheel hubs, drive gear flange, crankcase axle - Replace worn parts
- - Breather clogged - Clean the breather
- - Loosening the crankcase cover bolts - Tighten the bolts
- - Deformation of the crankcase cover - Replace the cover
