14.2. Durability of the car

GENERAL INFORMATION

The durability of the car in many respects depends on management style, and therefore today we will talk how we go and as it is not necessary to go, if, of course, there is a desire to save up both the car, and money.

Going on the car for work or to a business trip, try to count up, how many time you should use coupling, a transmission and brakes. After all while the car as it should be, seldom to whom comes to mind to pay attention to how these or those governing bodies are used. Certainly, to change, say, till time the erased brake shoes simply. And here already it is necessary to tinker with replacement of brake drums or disks. And absolutely not easy to cope with worn-out details of coupling or a transmission.

Anything, of course, in the car is not eternal. But if you, let us assume, unfairly often use coupling, maneuvering in a dense city stream, and do not remove a foot from a pedal, even standing on a traffic light, the put 80 thousand kilometers of run the disk of coupling will not serve, certainly. Its early replacement of situation will not rescue: on turn premature failure of plates of "basket" of coupling and the vyzhimny bearing which from thoughtless operation of transmission simply "dries" and breaks "basket"...

The same it is possible to tell about a transmission. Most "patient" of the domestic – a "Zhigulevsk" transmission is capable "отъездить" both 150, and 200 thousand kilometers without repair. But dashing management of it, being accompanied lever breakthroughs from one situation in another, long before term puts out of action bronze synchronizers. And it, though not the most difficult, but repair. Therefore patient drivers, changing transfers, use a technique "into three accounts", that is as though about itself speak: "time, two, three" when translating lever from one situation in another.

Somehow one my acquaintance complained about quality of details of a steering of almost new "Zhiguli". Also was to complain why: the car did not run also thirty thousand, and the helmsman, say, a pendulum on wear came nearer to critical line. It appeared that my acquaintance – the big fan under suitable conditions and to twirl speed by a steering-wheel as it sometimes do on a cross-country terrain. These pirouettes on the road look, can, and is effective. But, as they say, in this world it is necessary to pay for everything. Including for harmless, at first sight, "tricks".

However, to our "athletes" preferring quickly to take straight away, it is necessary to pay off not only a failing steering and ahead of schedule worn-out rubber. At such style of driving huge loading falls on a drive detail – the elastic coupling, bearings and driveshaft crosspieces, a coupling disk, not to mention the engine. No doubt, the modern cars equipped with motors, can go any time, as sports. But they are not intended for "sports" loadings, if, of course, speech does not go about the "single" car.

What to do, if there is nevertheless a need to "tear" motor – to get out on the become limp road or to slip in sand or on ice? Skilled drivers know how to arrive in similar cases: they create the necessary conditions increasing its passableness for the car. It is enough to lower a little tires of driving wheels to one atmosphere considerably to improve coupling of wheels with a surface of a dirt road. On the perdneprivodny car surpassing in passableness the car of classical configuration, difficult sites of dirt roads overcome, moving a backing.
