As a follow up to my urgent mechanical trepair thread yesterday...
Just got back from the mechanics. Snapped axel. Im talking like taking a celery stick and snapping it in half. Now, I had a stuffed axel and bearing on the other side a few months ago, wasnt snapped though. I drive a one tonne ute, often carrying heavy loads, sometimes close to a tonne. WHY is this happening, it should be able to take the weight shouldnt it ? With , say, a couple of heavy pallets, what would be the correct way to load them in the tray to minimise the stress on the axel? I always figured heavier stuff up the front, but sometimes it dosent work out that way. I think I need to know more about how I should be loading it up. By the way, in the interest of being aware of getting ripped off, what would you expect to pay for a right hand side axel for a AU2 one tonner? Its getting sourced by mechanic who does all my work anyway and I dont think would rip me, but I want to be sure. Thanks. Its great to have knowledgable people to go to here when everything goes to **** and you need to find out why !!! |
