  • 过烂路方向盘异响维修经历

    车辆信息: 品牌:长安 年份:2015年 车型:cs75 1.8t 精英 故障描述: 1.过烂路、减速带等不平整路面方向盘咚咚异响且同时手握方向盘感觉伴随非正常抖动 2.在正常沥青路行驶不会有问题,但过减速带、不平整井盖会出现 3.在水泥路、非铺装路面行驶非常明显 维修过程: 1.附近几家修理店不是没把握准确判定故障位置就是说更换方向机 2.4s店检查需要更换方向机(带转向球头拉杆1350含四轮定位)和方向柱(4400),再三考虑只更换方向机,结果还是响、抖。 3.回家第二天晚上自己总感觉被坑了(旧的方向机带回来了,怎么试都感觉没问题),想自己再自行检查维修 下面记录自己检查维修过程: 先是一万个度娘,看看有没有这个车型同类维修方向,然并卵。 没办法,从车里拿出很早以前买的一套9.9的套筒工具,把驾驶位置脚垫拿出来,座椅调最后面,通电不着车,趴到方向盘下面看了一下,左手转动方向盘,右手抓住方向柱下面的十字节(具体叫什么说不好,有说转向节和其他的,在这就不纠结这个了)上部连接处,转动方向明显听到咚咚声音,不知道是心理作用还是确实如此,右手感觉十字节上部连接位置转动幅度不一样,那个汗水如同洗澡,油价虽贵,还是不能太亏了自己,着车开空调。 选个合适的套筒先把十字节上部固定螺杆拧松(固定方式如同自行车坐凳),徒手把螺杆拧出来,抓住十字节上部往下用力拉(拉不出就上下拉几下),十字节中间是可伸缩的套筒杆,拉出来后扭了几下十字节和方向柱助力电机下面的柱杆,都试不出来间隙,过程中试了一下十字节伸缩套筒也没问题,还能伸缩蛮长的(家里要是有黄油应该要上点油就好了)。 趴累了,座车里吹下空调,结果手痒转了下方向盘,那一个轻,转起来蛮舒服。 这下好了,第一次拆装方向系统,装上去就后悔了,跑偏,左右转向圈数也不对称(左三圈多右一圈多了),但有个好消息,过烂路方向盘不响也不抖了。 在直路段靠边停下,继续重新装,那是根据跑偏角度拆装了四五次,还没搞好,急的一身汗。 最后没办法,拆了后,看看方向盘总共几圈,把方向盘转到左右圈数一样再装上(这里要记得轮子要正)。 试车,好了,都解决了。 然并卵,又来一个问题,限滑系统亮灯了(这个又叫侧滑系统吧),开始还以为拆装的时候碰到开关,怎么摁也没用,想了一下,开关关了应该有个off,没办法,怀疑空转方向盘把线束拉断了?还是电脑感应匹配故障?启停好几次还是亮,不管了,太晚了,先这样吧。 第二天开车出去,偶然发现故障灯灭了,问题彻底解决了。 电子助力方向盘过坑洼路段、减速带、水泥路、非铺装路面等不平整路面时,咚咚异响,伴随方向盘震动手感类异常维修总结(仅供同我一样“手痒”,喜欢自己动手的车主): 不要盲目修 1.熄火通电状态左手转动方向盘,右手抓住方向十字节(是不是也叫万向节)上部连接固定处,凭感觉上下转动幅度是否一样,有没有不同步的时候,如果有,基本就是这个位置花键磨损或松了(我的估计是磨损了一点点,但我肉眼看不出来) 2.确认是这个问题就开拆,用套筒扳手松掉拔除螺杆 3.抓住十字节上部往下用力拉(中间部位是可伸缩的套筒杆) 4.拉出来可以随意变动方向,看看花键情况,只要没明显磨损,给伸缩套筒杆上点黄油,装回去,要轻轻转动方向盘才能套进去 5.过程中最好不要启动车辆,因为很容易不经意间转动方向盘,万一和我一样记不住位置就得多累半小时以上 6.装配时,十字节不能太顶到位,需要和拆之前一样留一点点花键出来,不然螺杆怼不进去,螺杆一定要锁紧。 Read more
