How to install the new energy hybrid vehicle wheels?
Sep 05, 2022
1. To ensure maximum safety and reliability, it is recommended that you always check the wheel hub bearings regardless of the age of the car - pay attention to the early warning signs of bearing wear, including any friction noise when turning or the suspension combination wheel is turning, or Unusual deceleration. For rear-wheel drive vehicles, it is recommended that the front wheel hub bearings be lubricated when the vehicle travels 40,000 kilometers. When replacing the brake system, check the bearings and replace the oil seal.
2. If you hear the noise from the hub bearing, first of all, it is important to find the place where the noise occurs. There are many moving parts that may produce noise, and it may also be that some rotating parts are in contact with non-rotating parts. If it is confirmed that it is the noise in the bearing, the bearing may be damaged and needs to be replaced.
3. Because the working conditions of the front wheel, causing the failure of the bearings on both sides are similar, even if only one bearing is broken, it is recommended to replace them in pairs.
4. The hub bearing is more sensitive, and in any case, the correct method and suitable tools need to be used. In the process of storage, transportation, and installation, the parts of the bearing cannot be damaged. Some bearings require greater pressure to be pressed in, so special tools are required. Be sure to refer to the car manufacturer's manual.
5. When installing the bearing, it should be in a clean and tidy environment. The entry of fine particles into the bearing will also shorten the service life of the bearing. It is very important to maintain a clean environment when replacing bearings. It is not allowed to hit the bearing with a hammer, and be careful not to drop the bearing on the ground. The condition of the shaft and bearing housing should also be checked before installation, as even a small amount of wear can lead to a poor fit, which can lead to early failure of the bearing.
6. For the wheel bearing unit, do not attempt to disassemble the wheel bearing or adjust the sealing ring of the wheel unit; otherwise, the sealing ring will be damaged, and water or dust will enter. Even if the raceways of the sealing ring and inner ring are damaged, it can result in permanent failure of the bearing.
7. There is a magnetic thrust ring in the sealing ring equipped with the ABS device bearing, which cannot be impacted or collide with other magnetic fields. Take them out of the box before installation and keep them away from magnetic fields, such as motors or power tools in use. When installing these bearings, change the operation of the bearings by observing the ABS alarm needle on the instrument panel through a road test.
