Well my thoughts are, inadequate meturgy and stiffness of the components. Seems the bean counters cutting cost. Maybe moment is causing yielding of the components.
I have owned many different vehicles that had high mileage. and never had vibration issues . such as the dreaded death wobble.
so what is the diffrence?
so this an interesting subject. as i once purchased a used 2006 jeep with very low miles.
question! is this an inherent design flaw?
is it due to the forces , vibration, excessive wear, not robust enough to prevent radical vibration.?
I had two option complete rebuild of the front end with...
H925 according to the spec is equivalent 38-45 Hrc , this is the approach I would take, make the test specimen same as the wall thickness, after heat treat machine to correct size for testing. that hardness is easily machined with out compromising. run the parts with test specimens.
discuss...
Op
That is ridiculous. Find an other supplier.
Get 3 quotes. And the part about stressing the coupons is nonsense. What is the wall thickness of the casting. Plus what is the time and temperature. , what pops in my head one hour per inch.
OP
it depends, if it is finished surface or if there is stock removal, for machining.
even if not required follow the AMS 2759/3
procedures. finished surface in a Vacuum, or inert atmosphere. prevent oxidation. precipitation harden. run with specimens for testing.
What it becomes is how much money one wants to spend. And what they can really live with.
Stations on large aircraft and large missiles where held to ÷/_ ,001 length.
There was comment once said
Don't tell me the odds.
.
If the holes are machined simultaneously.
There's no problem machining to each other.
The issue will the edge distance to the ends
Keeping it consistant.
