Steelman 60635 Wireless ChassisEAR

Product Information

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. ACCESSORIES - Kit includes 12 tie down straps, transmitter charging station and a canvas storage bag COMPATIBILITY - Transmitters and receiver are not compatible with older, STEELMAN 60635 and 97202 models The innovative noise cancellation technology hones in on metallic sounds ensuring that only potential problem indicators are heard, allowing them to be easily isolated. Key features 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.

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. Currently at 15.5K miles and 2.5 months since, and the rattle has not returned yet nor any other sounds. TRANSMITTER JUMPERS - Transmitter jumpers allow separate mounting of clamps and transmitters in confined spacesSo 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. You could try looking at the signal amplitudes from a chassis ear on a scope - the low frequency content usually dominates the overall amplitude particularly if you're only looking at a specific problem speed.

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. Indeed, some vehicles managed to make few thousands of km here in Norway and end up with the problem effects as before. As of the time of writing I am not aware of a "permanent" solution. It seems like there are several mitigation attempts, but none of them really succeeds. Rumor has it that there are several versions of the revision 1067361-77-C. At least three. The third being available approximately from Feb 2019 and is failing. Again, the problem might be not the struts, but something else in the front suspension design. The kit also boasts a complete soft bag earphone design, which offers comfort and effectively isolates outside noise for greater sensitivity. Not only does this stethoscope kit provide essential updates on the heart rate of machinery parts, but it does so with minimal effort required from the user.PINPOINT NOISES - Easily pinpoint troubling noises that cannot be duplicated in a repair stall and only occur during road driving The OUFKAR Chassis Ear Automotive Engine Noise Finder Tool is an innovative 6-channel detector designed to help detect and adjust abnormal engine noises. Featuring a host computer with the integrated 6-channel signal receiver, this tool is uniquely equipped to locate the source of vibration caused by bearing, gear, valve, crank, or cylinder failure. The LUTIFIX Chassis Ear Automotive Engine Noise Finder Tool is a must-have for any car enthusiast. This tool can detect the abnormal noise of an engine, body, and chassis, alerting you to potential problems before they become major. It features LED indicator lights that change color according to the detected volume: green being minimum, red being maximum. NO WIRES - Bluetooth connected transmitter attaches to clamp or probe to wirelessly transmit data to a connected device STETHOSCOPE PROBE - Aluminum probe works with the Bluetooth transmitter as an electronic stethoscope for hands-on diagnostics

Chassis ears allow mechanics to listen closely for abnormal loud noises that might indicate a faulty fuel injector. This way, they can arrive at an accurate diagnosis and take appropriate action to properly fix the problem before it causes any significant engine damage. Final Thoughts about Chassis Ears USB BLUETOOTH DONGLE - Includes a USB Bluetooth dongle for use with laptop PCs that do not have built-in Bluetooth capability

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. The transmitters span four channels to allow the user to easily identify the source of the sound with the supplied headphones. 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. Diagnosing and pinpointing squeaks and rattles in vehicles has always been a challenge for automotive technicians. Use the suspension level changes multiple times a day (parking at home and work raised to very high, lowered to low on the highway most days)
