how to tell if drive shaft is out of balance

How you know if you have a bad drive shaft or u joint? If the drive shaft is out of balance it can wear out the seal. The seal could just be old and leaking. Your trans fluid could be low. The vibration could be the torque converter clutch or a wheel slightly out of balance. U joints are easy too check. They might just be dried out and sticking.he drive shaft has to be balanced. Frequently you'll see a piece of steel-maybe 1/8 thick welded on as a balance weight. Looking at your drive shaft, you might find a place where the metal looks new or cleaner than the rest of the drive shaft. If so, it'll take a pro shop to re-balance it.

- The relationship of the location of the unbalance force with. respect to the shaft center and rotational axis is greatly affected by. the proximity of the shaft speed to the lateral natural frequency. Recall that the amount of unbalance is defined as the mass of the.

- Disconnect the shift cables at the engine. Shift the control and see if it is stiff. If it is then you should replace the cable. If the control cable is OK we need to check the drive shift cable. Have a helper turn the propeller by hand and shift the outdrive shift cable. If it doesn't then the best thing to do would be to remove the drive and inspect the cable and shifting levers. If it is still stiff a further disassembly will be in order.

What are the symptoms of a bad wheel bearing? Jack up the truck on the suspected wheel. Grab the wheel and pull it back and forth, side … to side. If the wheel bearing is bad, you'll feel a little play in the wheel. This also the method used to determine bad tie rods and control arms.

Pinion Alignment for a CV Drive Shaft Next, you need to find the drive shaft angle. On my drive shaft, I have a spot, as shown above, where the shaft is perfectly flat AND the magnetic side of the angle finder can fit flush/flat on the tube. If yours is not like this, you can simply roll your vehicle just enough to rotate the pinion 90 degrees.

Drive System Alignment Here's a short list of the problems that can be caused by engine/shaft alignment faults: 1  Rapid cutlass bearing wear. 2  Misaligned strut galls shaft, requiring shaft replacement. 3  Causes stuffing boxes to wear out and leak, not infrequently sinking the boat.  Bent or broken shafts.

- Short of dismantling the motor, there are two main ways to check for bearing damage from induced shaft currents — measuring vibration and measuring voltage. Both require special equipment and experienced personnel to conduct tests and analyze the results. Both are best used to establish a baseline early on, so that trends can be monitored later.

- If the bearings have gone you'll have a high pressure oil leak so your oil pressure will be low (bad) and quickly you'll have pumped all your oil out on the road (very bad) and then your whole engine will be dead (you can guess how bad that it!). Tim S · 4 years ago.

OMC Tilt & Trim You’ll need to remove the drive and replace the bellows. Check the Gimbal Bearing at the same time. You don’t need to remove the power unit. I do suggest you get your hands on a service manual from Seloc. It tells you how to service the drive and make the correct shift cable adjustments.

- Removing and Inspecting the Drive-shaft. Before you remove the driveshaft it is a good idea to mark the it in relationship to the differential yoke. In some cases a shaft can be specifically balanced. If you remove and reinstall it and a vibration that was not there before surfaces it might be out of phase.When the propeller shaft as the British call it is removed it's easier to check the condition of the universal joints on both ends of the propeller shaft.ore then once the root cause was undercoating installed on the vehicle. A sloppy undercoat job can get on the drive-shaft itself and cause out of balance problems that can have negative effects on longevity. If you find u-joints with any problems just go ahead and replace it. In most cases they are not expensive.

- The way to tell if you have a bad wheel bearing is when you are driving and go into a hard corner. The wheel that is on the inside of the corner stops making a humming noise. … I just replaced my Driver Rear bearing on my 2004 VW Gti.

Wheel Balancing The first sign that your wheels may be out of balance is when your steering wheel starts to wobble above a certain speed causing considerable discomfort while holding the wheel. Drivers may not always sense an imbalance at the steering wheel which could be dampened by the vehicle weight. However, uneven tyre wear is another sign that your wheels may be incorrectly balanced. Wheels can be balanced on a wheel balancing machine available at all Kwik Fit centres. The machine rotates the tyre and wheel assembly and automatically calculates even the smallest differences in weight across the wheel.

Why is There Noise When Turning my Steering Wheel? One way to determine if it's a bad bearing is to spin the wheel (by hand) and hold the spring. If it's a bad wheel bearing, you can feel it crunching. 2 out of 2 people think this is helpful. migration_judge_roy answered 4 years ago.

Drive shaft This places the clutch and transmission at the rear of the car and the drive shaft between them and the engine. In this case the drive shaft rotates continuously with the engine, even when the car is stationary and out of gear. A drive shaft connecting a rear differential to a rear wheel may be called a half-shaft.

Pulling You In to Brake Diagnostics A pull that changes direction. When the vehicle pulls to the right at times and to the left at other times, wheel alignment will not be the cause. Alignment can only be off in one direction or the other. Things that bind, in the steering or suspension, often cause a memory steer.

- Now the front differential could be a completely different story. An often missed warning sign of failure is a loud “clunk” when shifting from drive to reverse then back to drive again. Basically any excess noise coming from the front of your car that doesn’t sound like a brake problem should be inspected immediately.

- I have an older snowmachine trailer with what I think is a 2000lb axle. I recently lost the bearing, hub assembly and wheel at about 70mph. The spindle was bent in the process of coming apart. I was wondering if I could get away with heating and straightening the spindle and replacing the hub and bearings.

- Trees in the Colorado State Forest include Engelmann Spruce and Subalpine Fir in areas of higher elevation, and Lodgepole Pine and Quaking Aspen at the mid and lower elevations. Pearls are a gift of nature and Pearl Lake State Park is just that. Just a few miles off the road, it feels like an escape into the backcountry of Colorado. While day use and the Yurts are open and available, camping at Pearl Lake will be unavailable until Spring of 2010 due to hazard tree mitigation ........more >.

5 Sounds that Signal your Car Needs Auto Repairs “If you notice a change in pitch to the noise while the car is changing lanes, and then the noise returns when the car is going straight again, then chances are high that you have a bad bearing.” Get this issue checked out immediately, as a bearing that seizes or comes apart completely can easily leave you and your vehicle stranded on the side of the road with a wheel that won’t move.

Symptoms of Bad or Failing Trailing Arm Bushings However, when the bushings of the trailing arm are worn out, the weight shift is impacted; sometimes delayed. This can cause the steering to feel loose when you turn to the left of right, especially during slow, wide-angle turns (like driving into a parking lot or when you make a 90 degree turn).
