Condition check, removal and installation of steering gear
Checking the Status Steering gear serves to connect the steering steer the car and at the same time provides an adequate position of the wheels in relation to each other. The actuator includes: fry the steering mechanism, fastened it (mechanism) shaft and provides the average effort steering draft. Longitudinal reciprocation of thrust medium is transmitted to the knuckle of the right wheel. Assembling the connecting rod serves to connect the rods to the middle knuckle of the second wheel. Connecting rod consists of pipe clamps and two tips. Steering damper actuator mounted between the middle frame and the steering rod of a vehicle serves to reduce undesirable vibration and stress on the components of the steering mechanism. The components of the steering gear
| - Install the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and lock the steering wheel.
- Poddomkratte one of the robots of a vehicle so that the wheel off the ground priotorvalos about 3 cm.
- Set the dial gauge pointer by pushing the plunger to its outer edge of the wheel. Grip the wheel in the front and back points and tug it back and forth, watching the meter readings. Maximum recorded value should not exceed 2.74 mm. If the play of the steering system exceeds the allowed check each center point and ball stud steering gear for any slack. If necessary, replace components.
- Poddomkratte car and establish it on props. Check the ball joints covers for cuts, make sure that there are no "become attached" the hinges and damage or deformation other drive components.

Refitting Connecting Rod Assembly | - Loosen the wheel nuts, Poddomkratte car and establish it on props. Cock a lay brake. Remove the wheel.
- Remove the cotter pin and loosen but do not remove completely, castle nuts ball studs both traction lugs.
- With a small separate puller lugs connecting tie rod from the steering knuckle and the average thrust.
 | Using a fork ball joint separator is likely to cause damage to the hinge cover. |
 | - Application dvuhzahvatnogo puller for removing the tip of the connecting rod from the steering knuckle - note that only the nut was loosened, but not removed completely; This avoids spontaneous dissection components.
|
- If the connecting rod needs to be replaced, count the number of exposed threads and record the results in order to comply with the same convergence of the front wheels in the assembly. Loosen the tube clamp knob and unscrew the tip of the rod.
 | - If the left tip of the connecting tie rod must be replaced, count and record the number of exposed threads protruding from the regulator tube and screw the new cap with these data.
|
- Lubricate the threaded portion of the tip rod grease for chassis components. Screw the new tip into the tube regulator and screwing thrust into the phone, adjust the distance from the latest to the ball studs, leaving the same amount of exposed threads that took place prior to disassembly (see. Made recording) (number of exposed coils on both sides of the controller should not differ from one another more than three). Do not tighten the clamps until the tube regulator.
- To install the assembly connecting the steering rod ball stud, insert the tip of her left in the steering knuckle and the right pin tip - an average thrust. Screw the nuts and tighten them with demanded effort. If the ball stud rotates while tightening the nuts, crush it into a tapered hole by large forceps.
- Install new cotter pins. If necessary, tighten the nut a little more to align with the nearest cutting hole in the cotter pin.
- Tighten the nut clamps the tube regulator with the required torque (see. Specifications to the Head of Adjustment and routine maintenance). Drive away the car to the shop to adjust the angles of the front wheels, where the angles are checked and properly adjusted.

Average Tie Rod | - Poddomkratte the front of the car and establish it on props. Cock a lay brake.
- Loosen but do not remove, nuts ball studs average thrust to the connecting rod and the knuckle. Separate average draft from a rotary fist (see. and on the connecting rod by means of a stripper dvuhzahvatnogo, then remove the nuts.
 | - To disconnect from the middle steering rod connecting rod, use a small scraper.
|
- Following the same technology department Middle draft from steering pitman arm. If the left tip of the middle steering rod needs to be replaced, follow the procedure n. and of this Section.
- Install in reverse order. If any of the pins ball begins to rotate when tightening the mounting nut, driving it into the tapered hole by large forceps. All fixture tighten with demanded effort.

|
Bipod steering Removal Procedure bipod steering refer to Section Removal and installation of the steering mechanism. Steering damper actuator | - Poddomkratte the front of the car and establish it on props.
- Disconnect the steering damper of the average thrust, using the method described in Sec.
- Otboltite damper from the chassis and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install in reverse order. Fasteners damper tighten with demanded effort.
