What to Do If a Sedan's Chassis Feels Loose?
1 Answers
Here are the causes and solutions for a loose sedan chassis: 1. Broken tie rod ball joint. Solution: Remove a screw similar in length to the ball joint from the bumper or another non-critical area to replace the damaged ball joint. After installing the steering knuckle arm and nut, hammer the exposed part of the screw to secure it. 2. Damaged differential gear in a three-axle vehicle. Solution: If any differential in the middle or rear axle is damaged, remove the drive shaft and half-shaft of that axle and continue driving. If the front differential is damaged, remove the wheel hub coupling plate and proceed. 3. Lack of brake fluid in the master cylinder. Solution: Use alcohol or liquor as a substitute; in emergencies, water can be used. If the brake cup swells, soak it in hot water for 10-20 minutes to remove oil residues and restore its original size. 4. Clutch friction plate burnt and slipping. Solution: For slightly burnt friction plates, flip them over for reuse. For severe cases, use layers of cotton or canvas (matching the original thickness) and secure them with wires through the steel plate's holes.
