Right-hand drive Chevrolet Orlando with automatic transmission
Description:
Right-hand drive in a Chevrolet Orlando with automatic transmission transmits torque from the gearbox to the right front wheel. It consists of the following components:
* Axle Shaft: Connects the differential in the transmission to the wheel hub.
* Outer CV joint: Installed at the end of the axle shaft and allows the wheel to turn.
* Internal CV joint: Installed on the transmission side and allows the axle shaft to slide inside the drive housing.
* Drive housing: Protects the drive from external influences and contains lubricant.
Function:
Right-hand drive transfers power to the right front wheel, allowing the vehicle to move. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the outer CV joint allows the axle shaft to remain in the desired position, ensuring the transmission of torque even when the wheel is turned.
Service:
The right drive must be serviced regularly to ensure reliable operation. Service includes:
* Checking the condition of the CV boots: Damaged boots can allow dirt and moisture to enter the CV joints, causing them to wear out.
* Lubrication: CV joints require periodic lubrication.
* Replace as necessary: If any drive component is damaged or worn, it must be replaced.
Signs of a right drive malfunction:
* Vibration or knocking noise when driving.
* Clicking noises when turning the car.
* Lubricant leakage from the drive housing.
* Difficult vehicle movement.
Fault Prevention:
To prevent right-hand drive malfunctions, it is recommended:
* Avoid driving on off-road or roads in poor condition.
* Carry out drive maintenance in a timely manner.
* Use only high quality CV joint lubricant.
* Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for replacing drive components.
