The life of the ball cage mainly depends on its type and conditions of use.
Life of the outer ball cage
As an important connecting component for vehicle power transmission, the life of the outer ball cage can usually reach more than 200,000 kilometers. However, in order to ensure that it is in good condition, it is recommended to check it every three months. If the outer ball cage fails, there may be a sound of metal collision or black grease seeping out of the dust cover. At this time, the outer ball cage should be replaced in time.
Life of the inner ball cage
The inner ball cage plays an important role in the vehicle's turning process, working with the outer ball cage to transmit power through the steel shaft. The life of the inner ball cage is also affected by regular inspection and maintenance. If the inner ball cage makes a metallic sound or black grease leaks from the dust cover, the inner ball cage should be replaced in time.
Factors affecting the life of the ball cage
Regular inspection: Regular inspection can detect and solve potential problems in time and extend the service life of the ball cage. Maintenance: Appropriate maintenance measures, such as regular replacement of lubricating oil and checking the integrity of the dust cover, can effectively extend the service life of the ball cage.
Usage conditions: Use under bad road conditions, such as driving frequently on muddy or dusty roads, which will accelerate the wear of the ball cage and shorten its service life
