Does replacing the rear axle of a vehicle count as a major overhaul?
1 Answers
Replacing the rear axle of a vehicle is considered a major chassis overhaul. Here is an introduction to the vehicle's rear axle: 1. The rear axle is a component of the rear drive shaft that transmits the vehicle's power; 2. Damage to the rear axle can affect the four-wheel alignment data; 3. For some models, the rear wheel data is primarily based on the rear axle and cannot be adjusted. Once the rear axle is deformed, it means the rear wheel data is incorrect, affecting driving stability, causing tire wear, and shortening the tire's lifespan. Below is additional information on vehicle overhauls: 1. A major vehicle overhaul refers to the comprehensive or near-comprehensive restoration of a vehicle's technical performance, either new or previously overhauled, after a certain mileage or time, through diagnostic testing and technical evaluation, using repair or replacement of vehicle components; 2. Regular vehicle maintenance is essential. For vehicles used over a long period, the mud and dust in the vent plug of the rear axle housing should be promptly removed; 3. Vehicle maintenance should be performed every 3,000 km, during which the vent plug should be dismantled, cleaned, and unclogged to ensure smooth airflow and prevent blockages that could increase housing pressure and lead to oil leaks; 3. Regularly check the level and quality of the lubricating oil for timely addition or replacement.
