I love the Jimny d, such a simple and well made car. Did this job exactly a year ago, almost 3h per side. Due to restricted garage space I did one side at a time. Saved a lot of cash by doing it myself and time also

Thanks for joining us mate and glad to hear you're enjoying it!

very nice write-up, great job. one exception: please don't tap on the inner race of the wheel bearing when re-installing, you're gonna spall the balls. you need either to tool that extends to the diameter of the outer race, or just use the old bearing to tap the new one in. as a general rule, you want to avoid hitting any hard cemented surfaces, or you risk chipping the inner surfaces of the races or the balls.

awesome video, really like the flow of the videos, very informative. need more off the Jimny.

21:35 Nice job on hitting on the center hub of the wheel bearing, just what a brand new wheel bearing needs....Always drive it in from the outer edge/cage as to not shock load the rollers/balls inside

Why didn't you put the rubber seal on before putting hub assemble in place like you did taking the old one off after you disassembled it.

@2ndGearLow

Жыл бұрын

Hi Martine, as the new rubber knuckle seal (wiper) is cut before installing, as per the FSM, it doesn't need to be fitted over the knuckle ball before the housing and can be put on afterwards. When using seals that are a continuous ring they must be installed in the right order as they wouldn't fit over larger components such as the knuckle housing

great video guys just wondering approximately how much was spent on parts

Hi. You're great! Will it be exactly the same procedure in doing the right side axle, spindle, etc...?

Hi Can you change the vacuum 4 wheel system to the manual engagement system?

dont damage that esp on the outside, so yeah i got a jimny pulled it apart and noticed that my spindle washer was just missing and that wheel bearing nut was proper fucked like they tried to pull it loose with a pliers or vicegrip needless to say the fix was to lock the hubs in their 4WD state to get 4WD

My Sierra had 3 different greases in the swivel hub, what looked like wheel bearing grease on the kingpin bearings, moly in the knuckle, and some type of packing grease within the housing. I also couldn't find much info about the Super A grease. In the Sierra manual Suzuki says to use this Super A grease on all these areas. I've seen other Jimny/Sierra with what looked like this 3 different grease arrangement, so I'm guessing they come from the factory like this. It looks like that grease packed in the housing is a higher viscosity/more sticky than the moly and is just there to keep water and stuff out of the knuckle while also keeping the moly in.

Guys, can we ask a favour please, these videos deliver a lot of detail in terms of Torque settings etc. Is there any chance you could do a build sheet we can download. Brilliant video's. Very best Peter

@2ndGearLow

Жыл бұрын

Hi Peter, thanks for watching We always suggest following the factory service manual when doing these jobs. The FSM typically has a page at the back of each section covering all relevant torque specs for that area, and there's a detailed list of tools and parts in each video description. Hope that helps!

I have the JLX version from 2005 270,000 km. It also has a "death wobble", but no one can tell me what the problem is. It has come and gone too, going almost 2 years with nothing. I took it back to the MOT and it came back. Not sure what to do now. Have any of your problems come back?

@2ndGearLow

Hi mate, thanks for watching. Our problem went away for a very short amount of time after this episode was filmed (when new king pin bearings were installed), but then came back. The problem has gone away permanently after following the process outlined in a Suzuki Service Bulletin targeting this specific issue. Namely, assuming you have already had the wheels balanced correctly and the problem is not only happening under braking, look at replacing the leading arm bushings and installing shims on the front knuckle bearings (king pins). Steering vibration (or death wobbles) are often caused by improper bearing preload on the knuckle bearings for solid front axle vehicles - installing the shims increases that preload

Hi mate, thanks for watching. This can vary a fair bit depending on quality of parts and where you get them from. We're based I'm Australia but typically buy genuine parts internationally via partsouq.com as it works out cheaper even after shipping. You can see a full list of the part numbers used in the description of this video, and ask your local Suzuki parts department for a quote or add that list of parts to cart on partsouq to get a price

Couldnt you leave the car on the jacks and then engage 4 wheel drive to see if the front wheels spin?

@2ndGearLow

Hi Zuthor, thanks for watching. No, we would not recommend this as it would be unsafe. The rear wheels were still on the ground in this video, and by putting the car in drive you would risk the car moving forward and off of the two front jack stands. You can hear 4wd engaging at the front hubs as shown in the video, it's easier to hear in person but you do need two people to check it

Hi Lecimyz, I think you may have meant to comment on Episode 1 where we change the spark plugs. There are 2 ignition coils, with 4 spark plugs. You need to remove the 2 ignition coils, which each have a spark plug lead underneath, and the other two spark plug leads are separate. Once all coils and leads are removed, you should find four spark plugs in the four tubes

These seals are designed to be cut, it is included as a step in the FSM. The new seal cannot fit over the steering knuckle without cutting it

you did wrong with the bearing. you should tap it into the outer race not the inner

Rubber seal does go over knuckle joint before kingpin races are tapped in. DON'T SPLIT THE RUBBER!

The process showed (including cutting the rubber) is as per the Suzuki Factory Service Manual. We checked to confirm beforehand, the genuine Suzuki seal (shown) will not fit over the knuckle ball without being cut.
