Basic Transmission and Suspension Car Repairs Tips
You might think car repairs are complicated business, best relegated to professionals. Of course you’d think so, if you’re not particularly technically inclined. However, there are plenty of investigations and lightweight repairs you can take on yourself. Take advantage of a warm day as the cold season approaches and make sure your car is in tip-top shape, ready to brave the cold of winter, the snow, the black ice and all the other wintry phenomena. You don’t have to be a mechanic to handle the operations we describe below. You simply need a basic technological vocabulary, a good eye for detail, a bit of focus and some thoroughness, to make sure everything is in good working order.
Automatic Transmissions
Most people who think they don’t know the first thing about car repairs will fly off into a fit of panic or a frenzy at the mere sound of the word “transmission”. In reality, this much-dreaded piece of mechanical bits is not that daunting. Neither is making sure it’s working properly. First off, you need to know what it does—it helps you switch gears. Then, it’s essential you know what it’s made up of. The transmission comprises a cone shaped metal case called the bell housing, several gears (main gears and planetary gears), transmission fluid and a transmission filter that keeps the entire contraption clean. Transmissions can either not work smoothly or not work at all. The most basic troubleshooting steps you should take in either of those cases is to check for leaks, make sure the filter isn’t clogged and see if the fluid level is correct. If the issue seems to be more complex than this, it might be time to rebuild the entire mechanism. This is the kind of thing you should always see a professional for.
The Suspension System
The main function of the suspension system is to make sure your ride is smooth and stable. As you use your vehicle, it is only natural that the parts that make up the suspension system will become worn out. On occasion, if the damage is major enough, they will even break. At this point, you might panic and rush over to the nearest mechanic for some emergency car repairs. Don’t dive in head first! Make sure the problem isn’t being caused by loose nuts and bolts inside the system. Once you’ve gotten that cleared off the list of potential issues, investigate your particular problem. It might be that your car seems to be ‘pulling’ to one side, or that the wheels seem to wiggle back and forth as you drive. Alternatively, does your car bounce over bumps? Does the steering wheel seem to slip through your fingers at turns? Check the pressure on your tires and make sure they aren’t too worn out. Check the power steering fluid and add any required quantity. Does the steering belt feel loose or worn out? Tighten it or replace it, as need may be. Inside the steering system itself, there are several problem areas: the steering pump, a leaking steering rack, broken steering mounts or a sticking break calliper. Before you hand in your keys to a potentially expensive technician, make sure you’ve crossed off all these issues on your suspension system checklist.
