UNDER CHASSIS OVERVIEW top

A vehicle's under chassis have three main parts: clutch, steering and suspension. Clutch connects the engine to the drive shaft, to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Steering steers the wheels left or right. Lastly, the suspension absorbs shock while driving on an uneven ground.
Picture
Parts of a vehicle's under chassis.

CLUTCH top

A vehicle's clutch has four parts: clutch pedal, clutch operating, clutch box and clutch master. The clutch pedal is where a driver steps when changing gears on his manual transmission vehicle. The clutch master connects the drive shaft (the horizontal bars that connects and spin along with the wheels) to the engine, letting the engine spin along with the wheel on a non-zero gear in M/T. The clutch operating releases whatever gear is connected to the engine and replaces it with a new one. Lastly, the clutch box houses a big part of the clutch system.
Picture
Vehicle clutch parts.

CLUTCH RELATED SERVICES top

There are two moving parts in the clutch: clutch operating and clutch master. It is no co-incidence that these two suffer the most damage from wear and tear. The company provides replacement of these parts.

Clutch Operating Kit top

If your clutch pedal has problems, this is the most common type of repair. It is called clutch operating kit because its repair would require several parts that are usually sold in one single kit. The pedal could be stiffer or softer than usual. In some cases, you need to step at it deeper for the clutch to work properly. Do not hesitate for a repair because these problems can cause discomfort and damage to your knee.

Clutch Master top

The clutch master is exposed to wear and tear every time you change your clutch. This causes the connection between the engine and drive shaft to slip, which accelerates the rate of wear faster when damaged. It is called clutch master kit because its repair would require several parts that are usually sold in one single kit. The clutch master is damaged If your car's front smells bad upon driving for a few minutes.

STEERING top

A vehicle's steering has four parts: steering wheel, control arm, supporting arms and wheel control. The steering wheel receives the  steering action directly from the driver, The control arm transfers the movement of the steering wheel to the wheels, turning it left or right. The supporting arms stabilize the control arm, to minimize unwanted movements and vibrations. Lastly, the wheel control turns the rims left or right.
Picture
Vehicle steering parts.
The focus is only to the parts that wear out easily (see the picture above). The axle transfers the movement from the steering wheel to the control arm. The kingpin attaches the control arm to the wheel control, note that kingpins and ball joints can be used interchangeably depending on the manufacturer of the vehicle. The bushings damps unwanted vibration. The other parts named in the bottom of the picture are parts of the supporting arm: The idler arm comes with the pitman arm, and both attaches the control arm to the support arm. The center link is the main part of the support arm where all other parts of it are attached.

STEERING RELATED SERVICES top

It is not only the tires that wear out on steering, the steering system itself also wears out. It may cause your car to have one of these problems: car has the tendency to pull over to the left or right; creates noise and requires more effort on steering; steering range of motion is less than usual. Do not hesitate to get it fixed at the earliest possible convenience, because it would cause more damage to your car. Worse, you are more prone to accidents.

Bearing Replacement top

The bearing lets a part rotate at a fixed location and minimizing the wear on that location. The company provides replacements for: axle bearing, idler arm bearing and carrier/center bearing.

Ball Joint/Kingpin Replacement top

The ball joint/kingpin attaches the control arm to the wheel control. note that kingpins and ball joints can be used interchangeably depending on the manufacturer of the vehicle. The company provides replacements for either one.

Bushing Replacement top

Bushings is a vibration damp to minimize wear on the part caused by motion. The company provides replacements center link and stabilizer link bushings.

Support Arm Part Replacement top

The support arm provides additional support on the control arm for better steering stability. The company provides replacements for pitman arm, idler arm and tie rod end.

SUSPENSION top

A vehicle's suspension has two parts: suspension within the wheel and out of the wheel. Those two parts work together to make your ride as stable as possible. The focus on the parts that wear out fastest (see picture). Strut connects the suspension to the kingpin/ball joint. Coil spring and shock absorber are the suspensions outside the wheel, while camber suspension is the suspension within.
Picture

SUSPENSION RELATED SERVICES top

There is no such thing as a perfectly even road, there will be bumps along the way especially on truck routes and during rainy seasons. Suspension does absorb most of the shock for your comfort, but it wears out in the process. So if you feel that your ride is getting bumpy, do not hesitate to get your suspension checked. After all those bumps can cause back pain.

Suspension Replacement top

There are three big parts of a suspension: shock absorber, coil spring and camber suspension. These parts suffer wear on driving uneven roads. Even when the road feels even, mostly it isn't, Try riding a vehicle without suspensions like a tricycle to feel it. Also, driving across big potholes causes significant damage to the suspensions.Wear causes the suspension to absorb less shock, causing you to feel the unevenness of the road more. The company provides service to replace shock absorbers, coil springs and camber suspension.

Bushing Replacement top

Bushings is a vibration damp to minimize wear on the part caused by motion. The company provides service to replace strut bushings.
