Unbalanced power assist. Seal leaks in the control valve or off-center steering may route hydraulic pressure into one side or the other of the boost cylinder piston causing the steering to want to turn itself to one side. This can be checked by raising the wheels with the engine running. I...
Using the MSC NASTRAN™ program, we perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing to simulate the behavior of a part under a number of given conditions. The program employs mathematical models to analyze and quantify the effects of real-world conditions on a part. This enables our engineers t...
It depends how bad the leak is. A tiny pinhole or crack that is slowly leaking grease may not cause a complete loss of grease for hundreds or even several thousand miles. But eventually the joint will run dry and wear will start to accelerate. The more turning you do, the faster the o...
Grease the camshaft bearings with high-pressure grease, then install the camshaft. Since the caps are sensitive to position and direction, snug the caps and then torque them onto the block from the center moving out. Rotate the crank to see if it binds up. Step 4: Install the timing cha...
Grease the gear teeth and shafts as you go so each has a good coating. Pay close attention to lower-bearing and keyed-insert installation for the output gear as detailed below. Install the output gear with its pin centered like the original composite gear’s lug, and don’t forget to ...
