NOTE

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND METHODS OF CHASSIS JOINTS

Chassis alignment

Chassis alignment refers to the process of ensuring that all components of a vehicle's chassis are properly aligned, including the frame, suspension, and steering components. This helps maintain stability, handling, and overall safety.

Routine maintenance involves regular upkeep tasks performed on a vehicle to keep it running smoothly and prevent potential issues. This includes tasks like oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks.

Tools and equipments for routine maintenance and chassis joints

  1. Wrenches and Sockets: These are used for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts. They come in different sizes to fit various components.
  2. Jack Stands and Hydraulic Jacks: Jack stands support the vehicle while hydraulic jacks lift it, providing access for maintenance tasks like tire changes and inspections.
  3. Grease Gun: Used for lubricating chassis joints to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation.
  4. Alignment Machine: This is used to ensure proper alignment of the wheels and chassis components, improving vehicle handling and tire wear.
  5. Torque Wrench: Ensures bolts are tightened to the correct torque specifications, preventing over-tightening or under-tightening.
  6. Ball Joint Separator/Remover: Helps to separate ball joints from steering knuckles or control arms during maintenance or replacement.
  7. Tie Rod End Puller/Remover: Used to remove tie rod ends without damaging them or other components.
  8. Pliers: Useful for gripping and maneuvering small components, like cotter pins or hose clamps.
