Do-it-yourself cardan captiva repair

The transmission of a car consists of several main components, the main of which can be called the cardan shaft. His immediate responsibilities include the transmission of torque to the drive axles. Controllability and safety directly depends on its good condition.

In order to avoid unexpected breakdowns that can lead to an emergency on the road, you need to regularly carry out service in a specialized auto repair shop. The specialists of our service will advise you on the rules of safe car operation and eliminate any existing faults.

Equipped boxes allow us to carry out diagnostic and repair work at the highest professional level. The sooner you contact us, the more chances that the repair will require less money, and during the ride there will be no unwanted breakdowns.

All cardans of cars are structurally similar to each other, differing slightly. An inexperienced driver may think that this is a fairly simple unit, which he can figure out on his own. But this is not always the case, and let's consider what parts it consists of:

• Cardan shaft.
• Propeller shaft crosspiece.
• A fork that allows you to change the working length.
• Suspended bearing.
• Rubber seal.
• Fork flange.
• Bolt fasteners.

Diagnostics can be visual or using special equipment. In our specialized car service, all types of diagnostic work are performed, which allow us to accurately identify a malfunction and find the most correct ways to eliminate it with minimal costs.

Since a malfunction of the gimbal unit directly affects the controllability of the car itself, it will not be difficult to identify it. The first and most common signs of a breakdown are vibrations or significant deterioration in vehicle handling.

It is important for the motorist to know that a malfunction of any part of the gimbal will lead to the breakdown of other parts, and this will inevitably lead to serious damage and costly repairs.

Often, unexpected breakdowns occur due to repairs carried out in a non-professional workshop or by yourself. Our car service is often visited by car owners who have felt from their own experience how it is not desirable to act. Therefore, always use the services of professionals.

The cross-joint of the propeller shaft of the captiva c100 and other generations of Chevrolet can break at the most inopportune moment. It is necessary as early as possible, but it is better to seek professional help in our auto repair shop in advance, in order to avoid more serious damage.

We will need to completely dismantle the propeller shaft to disconnect the spline mountings and gain access to the part. After that, we disconnect the fasteners holding the cross for its dismantling and subsequent selection of the most suitable new part in terms of parameters.

It is important to entrust repairs of such complexity to qualified repairmen, and not a locksmith from a garage workshop or, even worse, try to fix the problem yourself.

Replacing the outboard Captiva must be done by an experienced auto mechanic who can do the job with the utmost care and precision. In addition, you will need to use a special tool, which is only available in equipped car services.

Suspended on a Chevrolet Captiva does not fail so often, which depends on the operating conditions and the attitude of the driver himself to conducting a regular technical inspection.Mandatory preliminary diagnostics are carried out in order to exclude an error if another part is faulty.

It is especially important to entrust the selection of the bearing to a specialist, as there is a risk that you can make a mistake. This, in turn, will lead to irreparable consequences, after which the repair will cost the car owner much more.

In our work, we use only high-quality components, which are sufficient

quantities are kept in our warehouse. If you need to replace your suspended Chevrolet captiva, you can buy it on the spot. We do not mark up spare parts for our customers, but purchase them at wholesale prices from direct dealers.

Repairing a Chevrolet Captiva cardan in a specialized car service will be much safer and more durable than if you try to do it yourself or entrust a not very qualified master. The technical equipment of the workshop and a professional team allow us to carry out high-quality repairs by carrying out the following procedures:

• We eliminate shaft defects or change it.
• We are replacing the universal joint.
• We select and install new bearings.
• Change the sliding forks completely.
• We carry out major repairs.
• We carry out precise balancing.

Good day!
At the next MOT, they found that the rubber boot of the propeller shaft was torn. The problem is that a separate boot (corrugation) is not supplied to the Captiva. They propose to change together with the cardan shaft (50t.r.). Has anyone looked for a replacement for this corrugation? If someone has encountered a similar problem, please unsubscribe.

- Report on the replacement of the boot from GAZMYAZ. The anther of the OKI grenade was used.

Cross options: GMB GUK13 (24.06 × 74.5) and GKN / LOEBRO U7284 (24.06 × 74.9)

The situation is as follows - with a decrease in speed (starting from 60 + -), a “light” hum began. It did not depend on the ambient temperature / car (more precisely, it was, it was not). It also got quieter and a little louder.

According to my feelings, it appeared after replacing the drive belt ... and the noise was coming from the right wheel. At first I sinned on the support bearing of the right axle shaft, but it was finally possible to diagnose it only on a raised machine.
In general, there was not much time to go to the service (my guys were busy), and it was a pity for money for something that could not be revealed much ...

I decided that it would be easier, faster and more reliable to throw off the gimbal

Disassembly:
1. The gimbal itself. Has 3 attachment points - front, center and back.

2. Unscrew the universal joint from the shanks (in front - 6 bolts, rear - 4), having previously marked the position relative to the diffs

3. Now you need to slide all these connections on the shanks. The most difficult is the rear diff. there it sours well on the central guide.

had to break a powerful screwdriver

4. As we moved everything, unscrew carefully (so as not to fall on the cardan's head) hanging ... -2 bolts

As the cardan pulled out, everything became clear at once. The rear crosspiece was bitten in the central position, after disassembly it turned out that the front one was almost the same situation. There was a slight backlash on the outboard.

6. Press out the crosspieces

7. We get to the suspended one by unscrewing the flange with a 19 key and using the “crowbar” sliding it off the slots.

admire and remember the phrase “to break, not to build”

Then I popped into EXIST and ordered everything:

Suspended from BMW X5, crosspieces

By the way, the car just rustled without a gimbal - there is no noise, and in general everything is super.

All the spare parts have come.

crosses from a Mercedes of some kind (there is Vito, etc.)

Let's start with the crosses.
The crosses are no different in comparison

sorry for the quality of the photo - hands were trembling apparently)

and then sorry for the quality of the photo - hands were trembling apparently)

Having looked at the crosses, we begin to prepare for their installation.
1. Prepare the mounting holes (ears). The preparation consists in the processing of "kernels". I took a drill and grinded everything inside with a drill.But you can still use a file - but it takes a long time - I tried it.

2. Prepare teski (just not a hammer.) And grease, which will facilitate a little pressing (you need to lubricate the ears). No lubrication was needed inside the crosspieces. There was enough of her.
3. Having prepared everything, we begin to carefully insert the cups from the cross into the ears and slowly evenly bait by pressing.

4. You need to carefully insert the cross and try it first with one edge to go over one cup and then on the other, making sure that all the rollers inside the cup are in place. When we are convinced, we leave one end in the cup and begin to squeeze, making sure that the cups converge evenly. You do not need to clamp it to the end - you need to make sure again that the rollers do not interfere with the free passage.

5. When we are convinced that everything stands up as needed, we press it to the end. But we must not forget that the cross should be located as much as possible along the axis of the universal joint. I centered with a caliper and an equal number of coins on the sides

coins as shims

6. When the crosses are in place, they need to be tucked in. There is a ledge that allows you to do this. The metal is soft enough, there will be no difficulties. I made 4 pieces. in each ear.

Now let's move on to the suspended one.
Take it off

it can be removed easily enough. scrolling the shaft, carefully knock it down

The main difference is only in the mount. Otherwise, it is absolutely identical.

As we understand, you just need to install the old mount. Just
1. There is a spot weld to be drilled out

2. We release and rejoice together with the hanging

3. We outline, fix and tack by welding. BUT it is necessary not to overheat, otherwise the gum will fall off from the body - it is on the glue.

Now we put the support on the shaft. I pressed it using my own bolt. I just put the flange on and tightened it.

After thinking it over, I decided to balance it right away. Moreover, 2500 is not so expensive to be sure that it will not beat and vibrate.

Well, now the most important thing:
put it on, go ... no vibration. BUT. the hum remained a little. It became quieter and the range moved closer to 0. That is, when the cardan was not there, the distributor was not loaded.

In general, now we will listen to the razdatku and think what's next.

Periodically, the light came on that there was no charging! The service offered to replace the brushes with a relay with a regulator and a diode bridge - the price of the issue is the removal and installation of the generator 1500 rubles., 800 rubles. generator repair, and for spare parts 3000-4000 thousand. In the end, everything turned out for free.

Replacing the crosspieces of the propeller shaft is required in the event that they are out of order. This is accompanied by:

• extraneous noise in the cardan area,
• vibrations,
• unbalanced shaft, etc.

The problem itself is that the propeller shaft crosses on RWD and FWD vehicles are under constant load. Of course, this sooner or later leads to the need to replace these shaft components.
The crosses are located at the articulation points of the propeller shaft components. Their main task is to ensure maximum mobility of the joints without losing the mobility of the shaft.
The best option for replacing these components is to visit a specialist workshop that works with cardan shafts. An example of such a workshop is our car service.

Of course, in order to determine that it is the crosses that have become unusable, it will be necessary to diagnose the propeller shaft. It is produced both with removal from the car (at the stand) and without removal from the vehicle. In the first case, the diagnostics will be carried out at a special stand.

A similar unpleasant sound occurs when the broken crosspieces begin to play. Thus, when the shaft is driven in motion, the joint first passes this very play and only then engages.
The check is simple: in neutral gear, one of the joints of the propeller shaft is rotated, if at the same time the adjacent part comes into motion, then the cross is intact. Depending on the number of joints, the procedure is repeated the required number of times.

In our service, the removal of the crosses is carried out exclusively on the removed cardan shaft. It is believed that this can be done on the installed cardan, but this is extremely inconvenient and delays the procedure. Therefore, we first remove the propeller shaft from the vehicle. Typically, this procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Further, the service masters go directly to the removal of the crosses. To begin with, the retaining rings are removed using special pullers. Then you can start pressing the cross from the fork. This is done using a special puller. At this stage, it is important to do everything so as not to damage the plug.
After one part of the cross is pressed out of the fork, the other part of the cross remains in the other fork. It is pressed out in a similar way.

The installation of a new cross is carried out in the reverse order. However, this procedure is no simpler than removal. The fact is that during installation, there is a high probability of damage to the needle bearings located in the cross. They are quite fragile and can be damaged at the slightest wrong movement. Therefore, we recommend that you never replace the crosspiece yourself. It is best to turn to professionals in this situation.
And, of course, the reverse installation is carried out in the position in which the crosses were before removal. Otherwise, you risk unbalancing the propeller shaft, which will lead to even more serious consequences.

Our craftsmen pay special attention to the pressing of the cross-piece cups, because at the slightest distortion, their entire work will go down the drain. A whole range of different equipment is used for professional and most accurate pressing. This procedure is technologically complex, therefore it requires a lot of attention and high qualifications from the performer.
In order to press the cup correctly, the new cross must be placed as close as possible to the already installed cup. And after that the second cup is put on. This procedure must be carried out with maximum accuracy, since balancing the propeller shaft is at stake.

So, based on our experience, we can highlight several main subtleties when installing the driveshaft crosspieces:

• it is imperative to outline the position of the cardan parts relative to each other in order to assemble, according to the marks made. Otherwise, you will get an imbalance in the cardan joints,
• pressing out the cardan cups should be done exclusively with the help of special pullers, since the artisanal "knocking out" of these elements can lead to their serious damage,
• the installation of new crosspieces must be carried out very carefully and with the obligatory use of proven tools, since the needle bearings of the crosspieces can easily be damaged,
• the pressing of the cups should also be carried out in the most accurate way without exerting excessive mechanical effect on the body of the cup.

There are several subtleties regarding the reassembly of the driveshaft. This element is extremely important for a comfortable and efficient use of the car, which means that the assembly should be carried out as professionally as possible.

1. During the assembly process, damage to the driveshaft cups and the crosspiece itself is unacceptable. These are very delicate elements that must be handled very carefully and carefully, following all the rules. Of course, professionals are best at this.
2. Reassembly is carried out only in compliance with the marks indicating the initial position of the universal joint parts, relative to each other.
3. At the end of the assembly, a prerequisite is to check the cardan on the balancing installation. That is why the independent replacement of the crosses can be fatal for the unit as a whole, because it is simply impossible to find the slightest deviations from the axis by hand.

All components of the universal joint shaft are in constant rotation around their own axis. Accordingly, this node must undergo a mandatory balance check. If the slightest deviation is found, it is necessary to balance the shaft.

Balance check is carried out both on the cardan unloaded from the load, and with the load on one of the ends of the assembly. Then the load is transferred to the other end of the shaft. Then the operations are repeated on the gimbal rotated 180 degrees along the axis. This is what allows our specialists to restore the balance to tenths of a millimeter.

The drive shaft of the Chevrolet Captiva is a reliable and unpretentious unit, however, it is constantly subjected to a large load when transmitting torque to the rear wheels. As in any other power unit, under load, individual parts wear out sooner or later in the cardan. In such cases, the purchase of a new Chevrolet Captiva cardan is economically unjustified.

Chevrolet Captiva driveshaft repair possible and carried out on our service. In addition to affordable prices, we offer prompt production of any repair work. On average, a complete repair of a Chevrolet Captiva cardan takes 4 hours! The warranty that we give for a repaired cardan does not differ from the manufacturer's warranty. Call us and our experts will advise you on any questions.

Being engaged in the repair of cardan shafts for a long time, our specialists have developed a whole database of malfunctions. As for the drive shaft of the Chevrolet Captiva, the main problematic nodes are the crosspiece and the outboard bearing. Our specialized service can eliminate these malfunctions in the shortest possible time with guaranteed quality!

The drive shaft of the Chevrolet Captiva propshaft jams when worn, which leads to vibration. You can also hear a creak, and with prolonged operation of a faulty cardan, shocks appear when the gearbox is turned on. The appearance of knocking is an extreme degree of damage to the mechanism. If you want to repair the propeller shaft, remove it immediately.

The second, no less common malfunction is the outboard bearing of the driveshaft of the Chevrolet Captiva. The support bearing is installed next to the crosspiece, therefore, quite often when the crosspiece is jammed, vibration destroys it.

Before taking the cardan shaft into operation, the specialists of CardanValService-Sever carry out a complete diagnosis of the cardan shaft. Don't worry, this service is absolutely free for you. During the diagnosis of the cardan, a specialist checks all nodes and joints so that you are one hundred percent sure that the Chevrolet Captiva cardan shaft is working after its restoration. During the diagnostics, the following is checked:

Wear of the CV joint and boot;

The degree of wear of the crosspieces;

Backlash included for the outboard bearing;

The condition of the outboard bearing and damping rubber;

Dents and pipe alignment;

In case of damage to the lugs for the cross, an assessment of the possibility of their restoration.

The drive shaft of the Chevrolet Captiva is installed using the "punching" method. Crosspieces of this type are considered non-replaceable. However, we have special equipment that allows us to correctly replace the non-separable cross, as it is done at the factory.

You don't have to wait several days for the repair. We can replace the crosspiece on the Chevrolet Captiva cardan in a few hours. The crosspiece is always in stock, so you can bring the propeller shaft and wait for it to be replaced.

When the outboard bearing of the propeller shaft of the Chevrolet Captiva is worn out, the radial bearing fails or the damping rubber breaks. In this case, we replace the Chevrolet Captiva support assembly or replace only the bearing, or the bearing and damping rubber.

Such a list of services is beneficial for our clients, since replacing only a worn-out part can save you several thousand rubles without losing quality!

After carrying out all the repair work, the Chevrolet Captiva driveshaft is balanced, which removes the residual imbalance and ensures that the driveshaft will serve you for a long time. Balancing must be done after replacing the crosspiece.

The weak point of the Chevrolet Captiva cardan is the crosspieces. On the car that came to our service, they are critically worn out.

The main signs of wear on the crosspieces are the appearance of extraneous sounds from under the bottom. It can be either a metallic sound or a "clatter" when the D or R gears are turned on. At first, this sound is barely noticeable and few people attach importance to it, especially since it does not always appear.

Over time, there is already a noticeable vibration in the center when the car moves on the highway at a speed of 60 - 100 km / h. Vibration may first disappear when gaining even higher speed, but then it will become constant. In this case, a complete restoration of the cardan will most likely be required - the replacement of the crosses and the support bearing in it. It consists of the following steps:

1. removal of the cardan;
2. replacement of 2 crosses and a bearing;
3. balancing;
4. installation on the car.

The cost of a complete renovation is 11,500 rubles

In cases where the bearing of the support is intact, the repair does without replacing it and is 7,500 rubles.
