Drive shaft (Axle) rubber boot replacement Here is the video link showing all the procedure as video tutorial. The drive shaft or axle in the front wheel drive vehicles is the most important part. The drive shaft is transferring the torque produce by the engine to the wheels from the transmission or gearbox. The drive shaft is the shaft which is keeping your vehicle running all the time you drive it. There is a complexity coming in the way while the front wheels are driven that is the front wheels are steering left and right according to the need and the same time the power or torque is transferred to the wheels from the transmission. for the purpose the drive shafts consisting of constant velocity joints CV joints are used. There are normally two CV joints each axle have. One close to the wheel is known is outer CV joint where as the other closed to the transmission is known as the inner CV joint. Both the CV joints are very much important for a vehicle to perform ...

Connecting rod thrust measurement using dial gauge Here is a video on youtube on my channel on this subject: The connecting rod on the crank shaft has a specified clearance to work properly. That clearance is a must to keep the engine in good performance. If the clearance is more, it will create noise and unwanted sound. If the clearance will be less, there will be less oil flow which will create oil starvation condition leads to catastrophic engine failure. If the back and forth clearance of the connecting rod on crank shaft had been increased from the specified amount it is a must to replace the connecting rod or in some worse cases the entire crank shaft. This could be a very expensive repair then and it is normally needed if you run your engine oil for long intervals. The engine oil must be replaced regularly on certain interval. For the oil change interval you must not follow the oil manufacturer recommendation or engine manufacturer reco...
