HOW IT WORKS - COMMERCIAL VEHICLE REPAIR KIT, MILITARY VEHICLE REPAIR KITS, HEAVY VEHICLE REPAIR KIT, VEHICLE REPAIR KITS, SUSPENSION REPAIR, VEHICLE REPAIR, CAR MAINTENANCE KIT

Using the specially developed tooling and our method, the molten polymer is injected into the joint through a newly drilled grease-nipple hole under high pressure. Once injected, the polymer becomes an exactly fitting, greasable, high compression capability, impact absorbing bush which has in effect, taken over the job no longer done by (now slack) inner springs, wear, etc. It now fully supports the ball (in ball joints) over nearly half of its circumference. It is also possible to do the repair more than once on the same joint, provided the joint is properly checked again initially. It is left as a greasable joint, which it probably wasn’t before.

One stick of RNT124 polymer (15 dia x 50mm) will repair about 3 to 4 tie-rod ends, or 2 to 3 ball joints (depending on the size of the vehicle & its joints), so polymer raw material usage is not high.

With the ‘normal’ replacement method of repair, stripping must be done to fit the replacement parts, and the labour and parts bill is therefore much higher, unnecessary with the RE-NEW-IT System. The work is done quickly (only 10 to 12 minutes per joint when done on the vehicle, or less than 10 minutes when done on the bench), so vehicle “turn-around time”, (through the workshop) is therefore substantially improved, (very important with commercial and military vehicles). On construction equipment and other heavy vehicles, or industrial applications with large joints to be repaired, additional thought might be necessary to decide on the best, most effective place to inject the polymer, described fully in the comprehensive instruction book with the kit.

The vehicle owner/user should achieve a cost saving of 50 to 80% (and sometimes much more), of what it might have been by replacement. At the same time, there are excellent profits (or savings) to be made (80 to 120% +) for the sub-agent (the applicator or mechanic), which makes the whole process a ‘Win-Win’ situation. Our instruction book leaflet shows typical designs of swivel joints used in vehicles, and where the polymer is injected. After repair, the ball (in a ball joint) is now supported by the new polymer over nearly half of its circumference, giving far better support than the (usual) standard design in these joints, and it is left greasable when finished, which it probably wasn’t before; better shown in our colour leaflet.

To summarize then; most repair jobs can be done in less than 10 to 12 minutes per joint on the bench (once you know what you are doing), or 12 to 15 minutes on the vehicle, usually without stripping. One does not have to purchase (and wait for) expensive spares, to the benefit of both the vehicle owner and the applicator.
