Chevrolet Metro Axle Shaft
Chevrolet Metro's Axle Shaft is an important element of its structure since it is a drive shaft that transmits motion from the differential to the drive wheels for independent rotation to really grip the road. These steel shafts are designed in different forms; solid for trucks, some older rear wheel drive cars, and half-shafts for cars with independent suspensions. Differential assemblies and axle shafts are disposed with solid axles, while half shafts connect the transaxle to the wheels. On occasion, axle shafts may need to be replaced due to wear from the contact with the obstacles or due to noisy and / or vibrating conditions while halfshafts may have to be repaired or replaced due to the worn out CV Joints or damaged boots. In aggregate, it can be stated that Axle Shaft is a crucial component in Chevrolet Metro vehicles as it bears the cars' weight and transmits torque while also ensuring proper positioning of the wheels.
Each OEM Chevrolet Metro Axle Shaft we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Chevrolet Metro Axle Shaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and install a driveaxle on Chevrolet Metro?A: To disconnect the driveaxle, the initial steps include; if the vehicle is a front wheel drive then; First, you need to take off the wheel cover, then set the hub nut then take off the front wheel and loosen the wheel lug nuts next, raise the front of the vehicle by use of car jack then support the automobile on two jackstands, then take off front wheel. Remove the oil from the transaxle as follows : After that, it is required to unlock the cotter pin of the driveaxle hub nut and to unscrew the nut, unstaking it in case of necessity. If you attempt to loosen a nut of the wheel stud to avoid the hub from turning while tightening, place the pry bar between the two. Located on the floor of the car on the opposite chassis rail, remove both bolts holding the stabilizer bar mounting bracket, then twist the ball joint stud away from the steering knuckle then pull down on the stabilizer bar. With an enormous pry bar, gently push the splined inner end of the driveaxle out of the differential side gear in the transaxle; there is negligible play from a circlip. Support the inner end with the wire and then pull on the outer end with the puller forcing the end of the u-joint out of the hub and the steering knuckle. Lift and retrieve the CV joints and cautiously unwind the driveaxle from the car. In the case of installation, you should pry off the old circlip from the inner end of the driveaxle and install a new one, the differential seal should be lubricated with multi-purpose grease. Lower the CV joint and swing the driveaxle up into position so that the splined end anchors into the differential side gear so that the stub axle is well seated. Apply a thin coat of grease on the outer CV joint splines and take out the strut/steering knuckle assembly and put the stub axle into the hub from the rearwards direction. Put the balljoint stud through the steering knuckle followed by tightening of the pinch bolt. Fit the hub nut to freeze the disc movement, then only tighten but do not apply torque values. This is done by gripping the inner CV joint housing to ascertain that it has locked onto the drive axle. Last, put on the wheel, tighten the wheel lug nuts by hand, then lower the vehicle, and then tighten the lug nuts and the hub nut with a torque wrench, if equipped with a staked nut then put a new cotter pin in place or restake the nut , and then put the center cap on.
