History of production of GAZ-52
The time of the truck begins in 1958, when developed by A.D. Prosvirin (chief designer who also took part in the development of the 51st model) brought the experimental model to life for the first time. However, it was put into mass production only in 1966, after 8 years of testing and improvements. The cornerstone of the tests was the installation of a pre-chamber “engine”, which was equipped with the experimental models. The technical characteristics of such an engine were excellent for its time:
- 80 hp at 3 thousand rpm;
- volume 3485 cm3;
- compression ratio – 6.7;
- 2-chamber carburetor.
It was with this engine, running on A-66 gasoline, that in the year of its presentation the GAZ-52 received the Grand Prix in Brussels and was highly appreciated by foreign manufacturers. But as practice has shown, the operation of the engine turned out to be unstable, and adjusting the mixture supply was too complicated. That’s why we got the well-known version with a forced 75-horsepower engine from the GAZ-51. The onboard GAZ-52 did not immediately become popular, “massive”. Initially it was used only as a delivery van in the trade sector. But over time, when numerous modifications began to appear, the car became indispensable in agriculture, for public utilities, and even as a “cargo taxi.” In 1993, the production of new copies was completed due to the obsolescence and unprofitability of the model.
Car device
GAZ-52 is an all-wheel drive frame truck, the wealth of modifications of which is due to the possibility of using a vehicle with various mountings without significant design changes. All modifications of the 52nd model are divided into two types:
- short wheelbase (models 52-02 and 52-04 were used as dump truck chassis);
- long-wheelbase (flatbed versions, chassis for tanks or vans - “52A”, “52-01”, “52-03”).
GAZ-52 was created on the basis of the 51st and 53rd models, therefore it is somewhat similar to them (to a greater extent with the GAZ-53) in design and appearance. And this has a plus: the interchangeability of some parts (for example, springs, wheel rims will fit from the 53rd GAZ, the rear axle, the driveshaft from the GAZ-51A). As the owners note, in order to disassemble and reassemble the car, a standard set of tools is enough. The 2-seater, all-metal cabin is constructed according to the same ascetic principle. The “torpedo” contains sensors for fuel level, oil pressure, radiator fluid temperature, speedometer and ammeter. The seat is solid, more like a sofa, which is typical for Soviet GAZ passenger cars. By today's standards, there is little comfort, but at the time of release the GAZ-52 was not inferior to its ZIL counterparts.
Rear axle inspection
In order to inspect all the parts of the rear axle, you must first soak these parts in a washing solution. This does not apply to bearings. Next, the parts must be thoroughly washed and inspected. Those parts on which you find cracks must be replaced without fail.
This is what the rear axle gearbox looks like.
Its weight is 69 kg.
Now let's begin inspecting the drive and driven gears. This is where we look for wear or scoring. If there is even one flaw, it is better to immediately change the gear; there is no need to try to repair it. The effect will not last long.
After this, you can proceed to the bearing rings. Here they need to be inspected for scoring and uneven wear. Particular attention should be paid to the ends of the rollers.
Construction of the Gas 53 bridge.
To check that the nuts are screwed in, you need to install the bearing cap and tighten the nuts. If the nuts turn without any problems, then everything is fine. You should immediately inspect the end of the driveshaft flange, which is connected to the drive gear bearing. The end must be perfectly smooth. If it doesn't, then sand it down.
The oil passages on the bearing coupling must be periodically cleaned. Inspect it for damage, burrs, etc.
Make sure that the bearings fit snugly on all bearing surfaces, this will ensure that your differential will last for a long time. You should also check the runout of the driven gear. If the runout does not correspond to the norm, then look for the reason for this in the gear, which may have been deformed. Or maybe the differential box is damaged or the bearing is worn out.
Rear axle malfunctions
There are certain signs by which you can determine that the rear axle needs adjustment, repair or replacement. The most noticeable and banal sign is if the car does not move and its rear wheels do not spin. This can happen if the bridge has been running for some time without any lubrication at all. But this happens quite rarely - not all drivers bring their car to such a deplorable state. Also, the car will not move if the axle shaft breaks.
A sign of a faulty bridge is:
- When accelerating with a load, there is a howling noise in the area of the rear axle. It happens that an extraneous sound occurs when the speed is reduced at a certain speed limit. The reason may be an incorrectly adjusted gap in the main pair, wear of the gear teeth in it.
Rear axle from GAZ 53 disassembled
Noise from the rear can occur not only due to a faulty final drive; the hub bearings are often noisy. But the nature of the sound here is somewhat different - it is constantly present at any speed, and if there is a howl, then at a lower frequency. Checking a humming bearing is easy - you need to lift any rear wheel on a jack and spin it by hand. Bearing noise will be heard when turning.
Breakdowns can be different, and their causes are different:
- Harsh operating conditions;
- Low quality gear oil or its non-compliance with technical standards;
- Poor quality of spare parts;
- Late maintenance.
The main gears and bevel bearings in the rear axle gearbox are primarily affected by insufficient oil or its poor quality. The satellites in the differential also take a toll - the teeth lose their mirror-like surface and sometimes become partially chipped.
The main drive gears must be changed in pairs - facing each other. If you change only the drive or driven gear, you will not be able to adjust the gap well, and the bridge will still howl.
Adjusting the clearance of the rear axle GAZ 53
If the bridge suddenly begins to hum, the first thing you need to do is check the condition and level of the oil. If water gets into the oil, then the bridge may also become noisy on the emulsion, the hum will be especially noticeable at speeds above 60 km/h. It is often advised to add sawdust to a noisy bridge, as if this method can eliminate the hum. But this method is questionable - it is unlikely that the worn teeth of the main gear will be restored from this.
Technical characteristics of GAZ-52
Dimensions and weights:
- Length – 5.7 m (6.395 m – long wheelbase version).
- Width – 2.28 m (23.8 m for long wheelbase).
- The height without cargo in the cabin is 2.15 m (21.9 m).
- The turning radius is 7.5 m (along the outer side of the front wheels).
- The maximum lifting angle with a full load is 15°.
- The loading height of the onboard platform is 1.21 m (1.28 m).
- The weight of the GAZ-52 with a body is 5.17 tons; for long-wheelbase vehicles (for example, the GAZ-52 fuel truck) the weight is slightly higher - 5.465 tons.
- How much does the GAZ-52 weigh without a body - 2.52 tons (2.815 tons).
- What is the maximum weight of the trailer - 2.5 tons.
- What is the carrying capacity - 2.5 tons.
Power unit
After failures with the prechamber engine, it was decided to install the GAZ-52-01 engine on the 52nd model, which is a more powerful version of the engine of the 51st model. Motor characteristics:
- power – 75 “horses”;
- number of cylinders – 6, strokes – 4;
- engine type – carburetor, two-chamber;
- valve arrangement - in-line, bottom;
- volume – 3485 cm3;
- compression ratio number - 6.2;
- torque limit - 21 kgm in conditions of 1.6-1.8 thousand rpm;
- engine weight – 250 kg;
- cooling type – water.
The crankshaft, cylinder block, crankcase and its ventilation filter, and air filter were taken from a GAZ-53. Such a forced engine is quite “gluttonous” (especially if you take into account the not too large volume of the tank - 90 liters): fuel consumption per 100 km is 20-21 liters (subject to driving in 4th gear on a good road). Therefore, “gas” versions are more popular.
Brake system
Service brake parameters:
- by the number of circuits - 1-circuit;
- drive – hydraulic, with hydraulic-vacuum booster;
- type of mechanism on wheels - drum.
The parking brake is transmission, equipped with a mechanical drive.
Transmission
Main characteristics:
- clutch – 1-disc, dry;
- number of gears – 4;
- the presence of synchronizers in 3rd and 4th gear;
- final drive ratio – 6.67 (6.83 on base versions);
- disc diameter increased to 28 cm.
Most of the elements were “borrowed” from the GAZ-51A: main and intermediate cardan, intermediate cardan support, sliding fork. The 52nd version gearbox is considered relatively silent and wear-resistant.
Chassis
The frame of modifications with an extended base is the same as that of the 53rd car (wheelbase 3.7 m). The “short version” (wheelbase - 3.3 meters) is characterized by side members with reduced cross-sections. Frame weight – 197 (270) kg. “Innovations” affected the suspension: now the ends of the earless springs were embedded in rubber cushions, which reduced the load on the main sheets. The springs are equipped with 0.5-elliptical, longitudinal, rear suspension is devoid of shock absorbers, but has an additional spring.
The truck is easy to drive, but the steering mechanism (globoid with 2 lug rollers) takes some getting used to as there is no power assist. The spare parts catalog (especially considering interchangeability) is easily accessible, so in case of repairs you can get everything and do it yourself.
Rear axle
The rear axle on a GAZ-53 is one of the most important components on which the performance of the vehicle depends. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically inspect the parts of the rear axle and make its adjustments.
The GAZ 53 rear axle includes the following parts:
- Housing (or crankcase). Stamped, is a welded structure. Outwardly, it resembles an elongated stocking with a thickening in the middle. In the center there is a wide hole for mounting the gearbox; on the back side of the hole, a stamped cap is welded to the crankcase. When installing the rear axle gearbox, the structure becomes sealed; a gasket (made of cardboard or paronite) is required between the gearbox and the crankcase for tightness;
- Gearbox assembly. It consists of its own separate housing, gears of the main pair (drive and driven), differential assembly;
Diagram of the rear axle and gearbox GAZ 53
8.2 liters of transmission oil is poured into the rear axle housing. A control plug is screwed onto the right side of the gearbox housing. After unscrewing the plug, check the oil level in the bridge; through the same hole, pour or top up oil to the required level. The bridge is considered filled when oil begins to flow back out of the control hole during filling.
Disassembled gearbox for gas 53
- Gear ratio – 6.83 (number of teeth on the driven gear – 41, on the drive gear – 6);
- The assembled weight of the bridge is 270 kg;
- The gears of the main pair are of the hypoid type;
- Differential – gear, conical type;
- Rear wheel track (distance from the center of the paired wheels of one side to the center of the other) – 1.69 m.
It should be noted that the rear axle of the GAZ 66 in its basic design is no different from the GAZ 53 axle, and the gear ratio is the same.
This is what the rear axle for GAZ 66 looks like
The lineup
Over the almost 40-year history of production, the GAZ-52 has acquired a huge number of modifications, among which a large number are experienced models that have not gone to the masses:
- GAZ-52F (failed experiment with a prechamber 85-horsepower engine with a load capacity of 2.5 tons);
- GAZ-52G (did not become mass-produced due to operational restrictions - the presence of only hard surfaces);
- GAZ-52A (base for special vans);
- GAZ-52P (tractor, experimental short wheelbase);
- GAZ-52Ya (variation with a short body).
However, the number of production models far exceeds the number of experimental ones:
- GAZ-52-01 (long-wheelbase version, used as a chassis for special equipment with a load limit of 2.5 tons);
- 52-02nd model (short wheelbase chassis for SAZ-3503, -3504 dump trucks);
- 52-03rd model (a classic flatbed truck with an extended wheelbase, it was replaced already in the 70s by the GAZ-52-04, the photo of which confirms the similarity);
- 52-04th model (flatbed modification with a shortened wheelbase, maximum load - 2.5 tons);
- GAZ-52-05 (a cargo taxi with a tilt-raised platform, structurally almost no different from the “52-04”);
- “52-06” (tractor, trailer weight limit – 6 tons);
- “52-07” (powered by liquefied gas, the cylinder is attached to the frame on the left);
- 52-09th model (modification of the 52-02nd model, “powered” by liquefied gas);
- “52-08” (compressed natural gas (CNG) is used for operation, duplicating A-76 gasoline);
- 52-27th version (base – “52-04”, powered by LNG);
- GAZ-52-28 (engine from “52-27”, but the cylinders are placed not on the frame, but behind the body).
Two export models were produced separately:
- 52-54 (area of operation – with a tropical climate);
- 52-74 (operating conditions – moderate climate).
In addition, a mobile repair workshop (MPR-99-24) and a ladder truck (AL-18) were produced on the 52-01 version chassis.
GAZ-52 is a real legend that still continues to ply Russian roads. In any case, the secondary market at a price of 40 thousand rubles offers a lot of options. And they have a chance to find a review for several reasons: the simplicity of the design, the simplicity and ability to save money on repairs and, of course, sufficient potential to perform the tasks that agriculture and municipal services pose for the truck.
