Low pressure in the tire Worn ball joint of the lower arm Incorrectly adjusted the front axle	Adjust the tire pressure Replace the ball joint Align the front wheels
*A rattling sound in the steering transmission*
No fixed oil pump or steering gear Luft steering gear Do not tighten the nuts of the oil pump pulley Luft steering column or between the pressure hose and other parts Abnormal noise in the steering and drive the oil pump	Fix the oil pump or steering transfer Tighten or replace the steering gear Tighten the nuts of the oil pump pulley Properly install and tighten the pressure hose or the steering column Replace the steering pump or oil
*Screeching noise ¹⁾*
Insufficient belt tension Seized in the oil pump	Adjust the belt tension Replace the oil pump
*The hissing noise*
The air in the oil pump Damaged sections of the steering transmission channel Damage to the return hose	Check the oil level and hose clamps Bleed the system Replace steering transfer Replace the return hose

The food is noise ²⁾
Violation contact stop Touching wheels with the car body The backlash of the steering shaft and the hinge Damage to the steering gear	Check and adjust the position of the stop Adjust the angle of rotation of the wheel Eliminate Backlash Replace steering transfer
*Trembling vibration ³⁾*
Air entrainment Damage to the steering gear	Bleed the system Replace steering transfer
*Leakage of fluid from the hose connections*
Improperly seal coupling nuts Incorrectly inserted hose Improperly clamped hose	Check, repair or replace Check, repair or replace Check, repair or replace
*Leakage of fluid from the hose*
Damaged or clogged hoses Damage to the hose connection	Replace hoses Replace hose
*Leakage of fluid from the reservoir*
Damage to the tank Pour the liquid	Replace the tank Bleed the system and adjust the fluid level
*Spillage of the oil pump*
Damage to the oil pump body Damage to the annular seals and / or seal oil	Replace the oil pump Replace the O-ring and oil seal
*Leakage of fluid from the steering gear*
Damage to the body of steering transfer Damage to the annular seals and / or seal oil	Replace steering transfer Replace the O-ring and oil seal

¹⁾ Shrieking noise should be heard immediately after the engine is started at an air temperature of -20 ?� C. This is due to the properties of the fluid used in the power steering, and

²⁾ Quiet "beating noise" makes the oil pump. This noise generally occurs when turning the wheel on the vehicle is stationary.

^{3) Small} vibration can occur due to the state of the road surface. To determine the source of the vibration tour the smooth asphalt or concrete road. A slight vibration is not a malfunction.
