Steering
The steering consists of a steering wheel, steering shaft, steering mechanism and tie rods. The steering wheel is bolted to the shaft which leads to the steering mechanism. Due to the tooth in the steering mechanism moves the rack. Each end of the rack is connected via a ball joint to the steering rods. They transfer power from the steering wheel through the joints steering rods and steering knuckles to the front wheels. Rack and pinion steering must be easy to move and have no backlash from stop to stop. It is not served, but you need to follow the flawless condition of the sealing cuffs. Depending on the model and equipment steering system can be equipped with hydraulic booster. Thanks to the power steering (servo control) the force required to turn the steering wheel is small. Power Steering consists of oil pump, expansion tank and oil lines. The pump is driven by V-belt from the engine. The pump draws the oil from the expansion tank and delivers a high pressure to the valve body. The valve body is located in the steering mechanism. The valve is mechanically linked to a steering shaft and supplies oil in the wheel according to the rotation in the appropriate direction of the working cylinder. There's oil pushes the piston rack and supports motion control. Simultaneously, the piston pushes out the oil on the other side of the working cylinder through the return line back to the expansion tank.  | Always replace self-locking nuts. Welding and straightening work on steering unacceptable. When there is insufficient experience, as well as major repairs contact a specialist workshop. |
