Details of installation of components of the steering drive

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. By means of steering drafts the effort is transferred to the operated forward wheels of the car (address an illustration above). At the same time the required geometry of interposition of wheels taking into account a difference of internal and external radiuses of turn is observed. The steering drive consists of the steering mechanism and two adjustable side steering drafts. Progress by means of two adjustable side drafts is transferred to rotary fists of stupichny assemblies of forward wheels. Side drafts are equipped since both ends with spherical tips and the adjusting tubular coupling in the middle. The coupling is fixed by means of two collars.
2. Bring forward wheels of the car into rectilinear situation and the ignition key block a steering column.
3. Poddomkratte one of the parties of the car so that the corresponding forward wheel came off the earth on 2 – 3 cm.
4. Fix the dial indicator so that its plunger rested against a forward rim of a wheel, then grasp a wheel with hands in provisions on 3 and for 9 hours and strongly pull it back and forth. Consider the indication of the indicator, it should not exceed values of 2.7 mm. At the excessive size of a side play attentively check a condition of all docking and rotary knots of the drive of the steering mechanism. In case of need tighten the corresponding fixture and replace defective components.
5. Check a condition of protective covers of spherical hinges, estimate freedom of rotation of tips of steering drafts, make visual survey of components of the steering drive regarding identification of deformations and signs of mechanical damages.

Removal and installation

Steering drafts

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Cock the parking brake. Weaken nuts of fastening of the corresponding forward wheel. A car front also establish to Poddomkratta it on props. Remove a wheel.
2. Take the forelock and weaken, but do not turn off up to the end koronchaty nut of a spherical finger of the draft tip needing replacement.

3a. In need of performance of replacement of a tip mark its situation (address an illustration).

3b. By means of a 2-gripping stripper release a tip from assembly of a rotary fist. Completely turn off a koronchaty nut and separate a tip from a fist (address an illustration).

4. If all draft needs replacement, separate a tip from assembly of an intermediate shaft (see paragraphs 2 and 3).
5. Before performance of replacement measure distance from a cut of the adjusting coupling to the central point of a spherical finger of a tip. Write down result of measurement, then weaken collars of fastening of the coupling and turn out a tip.
6. Grease a carving part of a new tip with lubricant for the chassis. Screw a tip in the coupling on former depth (see paragraph 5).

The quantity of visible rounds of a carving of one tip should not differ from quantity of visible rounds of a carving of the second more than on three. Do not tighten still fixing collars.

7. Screw a koronchaty nut of a spherical finger of a tip, tighten it with the required effort and record the forelock, having in case of need tightened a nut a little more for combination of openings under installation of the forelock.

If the sharovy finger begins to be turned when tightening a nut, press in a conic nest big nippers.

8. Tighten nuts of fixing collars. The bolt has to the groove of the adjusting coupling – рассовмещен with locks of collars is developed almost horizontally, and.
9. Establish to the place of a wheel, lower the car on the earth and tighten wheel nuts with the required effort (see the Head Nastroyki and routine maintenance of the car). Drive away the car on car repair shop for conducting check and adjustment of angles of installation of forward wheels.
