Steelman 60635 Wireless ChassisEAR

Product Information

CarGurus UK Limited, c/o Legalinx Limited, 3rd Floor, 207 Regent St, London W1B 3HH, United Kingdom Before we talk about using these chassis ears, always be sure to have one person driving the vehicle, and someone else monitor noises. Attempting to drive a car and listen for noises can lead to distracted driving. TRANSMITTER JUMPERS - Transmitter jumpers allow separate mounting of clamps and transmitters in confined spaces MULTI-CHANNEL - Connect up to six (6) color coded sensor clamps to different locations to find a noise's source So while I have a Model X those with the same symptoms, especially those who had replacement struts, might want to have the SC do an inspection on the sway bar bushings.

So one problem fixed, a new one created... the story of my time as Tesla owner... third time a new fault is created when going in to fix something else... UNBELIEVABLE!! Magnetic transmitter units can be easily attached to many different parts of the vehicle and secured with Velcro straps to stop the part from moving during travel. ACCESSORIES - Kit includes 12 tie down straps, transmitter charging station and a canvas storage bag If you read my post you would know that the latest attempt to resolve it on my vehicle was Jan 2019. Have no idea which version of the latest revision it was.Suspension systems have evolved with lightweight components and modified bushings to give the driver a sense of comfort which has also increased the wear and tear on these components. In the modern motor vehicle there can be multiple suspension mounting points that could be the cause of that squeak or rattle so how do you diagnose which one it is? Enter the STEELMAN Chassisear. Chassis ears are an electronic device that transmits vibration from suspension points via clamps to a main unit where they are converted to sound. I bought my first set of wired STEELMAN ChassisEars when I was an apprentice and they still serve me well. I’ve used them to diagnose suspension, brake and driveline faults. However, securing the cables into the vehicle to the receiver unit and preventing them from rubbing on the tyres and has always been difficult with one or two casualties on the way. The KUNTEC 6-Channel Sensor Engine Stethoscope Kit is a one-of-a-kind technology that merges precision results with convenience. This advanced kit is designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of several mechanical operations, such as metallurgy, building materials engineering, and large-scale equipment cutting. I'm in the process of fitting a double cardan prop shaft which should sort the prop shaft angle (standard prop shaft, rule of thumb is good for 7 degrees, double cardan good for 14 degrees). I'm going to have the custom gearbox-propshaft flange tested for run out, and replace the wonkey wheel.

The newer STEELMAN Wireless ChassisEar is an essential piece of diagnostic hardware when it comes to identifying and verifying squeaks and rattles in the modern vehicle. The kit contains four transmitter units, a receiver unit, Velcro straps and batteries to power the transmitters and receiver all in a blow moulded case. The system is easy to use and can be set up in a matter of minutes. Are you familiar with the term “chassis ears”? You may have heard it used to describe a mechanic's seasoned diagnosis tool, but did you know that this powerful device can be used beyond mechanics shops? Chassis ears are an invaluable automotive noise-locating and fault-finding aid for those looking for vehicle quietness. How Mechanicaddicts Chooses the Chassis EarsSo it is certainly struts that get challenged by the problem which is UNKNOWN and is never been communicated to me so far. All we know is that it started happening after post-April (aka facelift) 2016 changes in front of the vehicle. Once of the great things about wireless chassis ears is not having a bunch of long cables to tend to. No more worrying about a cable becoming loose and getting caught in the axle. Something I have seen happen before. Positioning the transmitters in the proper locations is key for accurate diagnosis. Since the Steelman kit comes with four sensors, you can place the sensors in different locations to really pinpoint the noise. WIRELESS TRANSMITTERS - Kit includes 4 independent transmitters that can be mounted in locations across the vehicle Diagnosing and pinpointing squeaks and rattles in vehicles has always been a challenge for automotive technicians.

With so many Chassis ears products on the market, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. The transmitters span four channels to allow the user to easily identify the source of the sound with the supplied headphones. COLOR CODED MODULE - Kit includes a single vibration and noise sensor clamp and Bluetooth transmitter module with a color coded silicone rubber bootJust wanted to add my experience to the list: I took delivery at the beginning of 2017 of a new inventory MS P100D so I'm assuming Q4 2016 build, and almost immediately noticed the rattle/clunking noise in the front suspension being discussed in this thread (#1 in the quoted wav file). I finally got it replaced at the beginning of this year after reading that this was a common issue with no known fix, hoping that by now it would have been fixed. You don't want to waste your time or money researching and testing every product available only to find that none work for you.
