Diagnosis of suspension of your car

To test the car for breakdowns, there are many types of diagnostic manipulation, among which there is also the diagnosis of suspension. Regular check will make the operation of your car the safest and protect from a lot of trouble. The frequency with which it is necessary to carry out diagnostics for each vehicle is individual. A large role is played by the mileage of the car, the conditions in which the car is used (features of local terrain and roads), as well as the nature of driving that is inherent in the car owner.

How is the diagnosis of the car suspension

There are several types of this procedure, each of them is good in its own way. Try a few or each time, and then decide which one you like best.

1. Diagnosis of the suspension on the backlash detector

In this way, the diagnosis of the car suspension is carried out when you feel that the car is clearly "driving" on the road. That is, when speed dialing, braking or just a uniform motion, the machine pulls in one direction or the other. In this case, various knocking in the car is often heard. Diagnosis of the suspension is that the machine is placed on a platform that completely mimics an uneven road. There is an imitation of the movement of the car. In the course of the diagnostics, there are revealed the backlashes of all the parts that participate in the suspension system.

2. Another kind of verification is computer

Computer diagnostics of the suspension - work very high quality, but it
Not applicable to all vehicles. Only those machines that are equipped with an electronic control system can use this type of inspection. There is such a diagnosis by reading the data from different sensors, so the deviations from the factory parameters are detected.

3. Diagnosis of suspension by own hands

This method of verification has come down to us from the time of the Zhiguli and Muscovites. Our grandparents also used this method of diagnosis. It consists that it is necessary to swing the car body. After releasing the machine, 1.5 spontaneous jumps should occur spontaneously: fully up, and then down to half. At the same time experienced professionals could hear by ear whether there are any knocking and what kind of malfunctions could lead to this. Alas, but in our time to modern cars such diagnostics is not suitable.

4. Another type of verification is acoustic

By the time the acoustic diagnosis is longer than, for example, diagnostics on the backlash detector, and takes from an hour to four. There is such a diagnosis with the help of four sensors, which make up one device and are connected to the power unit, which is at this time in the car salon. They are attached to the suspension of the car. Then the machine is set in motion. The specialist who conducts the diagnostics sits at that time in the car and turns on one sensor, then the other, reading the information and determining which part is out of order. As a rule, one trip is not enough to completely diagnose a malfunction - you need two or three of them.
