The steering consists of a steering wheel 1, 2 or 3 (Fig. 11.1), steering column, steering mechanism and tie rods 12. The steering wheel is fixed to the steering column and transfers effort on gear rack gear. Rack steering each side is connected to the tie rod by means of a ball joint. The steering traction force transmitted through the steering tips and rotary fists to the front wheels. Rack and pinion steering has a slight stroke and has no backlash by the rotation of the steering wheel from lock to lock. The steering is virtually maintenance free, but should always check the condition of protective covers of spherical hinges. As noted, on some cars can be applied steering option with the ability to adjust the steering wheel height. When you move the control lever steering column is released. Under the influence of a spring installed in the steering wheel of the highest position. When elongated control arm steering wheel can be set manually in five different height positions. To lock the steering wheel is necessary to release the control lever. The installation system steering wheel adjustment requires no maintenance. On some models can be installed hydraulic power steering. It consists of an oil pump, expansion tank and oil lines. The oil pump is driven by V-belt. The pump delivers oil from a tank to a high pressure valve located in the steering mechanism. The valve is mechanically connected to the steering shaft and delivers the oil depending on the steering wheel to the respective side of the working cylinder. Oil pressure on the piston of the rack and thereby supports the movement of the steering wheel. Simultaneously, the piston pushes the oil from the other side of the working cylinder through the return line back to the expansion tank. On vehicles with diesel engine and (or) air conditioning system provides cooling circuit of the hydraulic fluid of the hydraulic booster, in the form of a pipeline laid along the aggregate front axle.
