How to pull the steering rack

To enormous regret, not all drivers who have rights and sitting driving vehicles can correctly serve their cars, which is why today we will understand in detail in how you need to pull the steering rack if necessary.

Details and nuances of the process

For those who do not know or simply for reminding - the steering type rail is one of the parts of the wheel system, and these parts are interconnected by ballpoints. If your car is domestic production, then, most likely, a mechanical rail is installed on it, and the hydraulic details are most often standing on foreign cars, but also here, sometimes there are exceptions.

Here, we note that it doesn't matter what car you have, because with time, in any case, the part will fail and will require replacement or its suspenders. The steering rail is such a detail that takes the load at the time of arrival in the pits or at shuffles, and on our roads, without this, it's just not to do without it, no matter how carefully the driver did not go and did not try to avoid strikes and pits. The result is next - late or early the owner will have to change this node at any scenario.

In order to understand that such a node needs repair, it is necessary to make a technical inspection of the entire chassis. If you do not understand this matter, then you will need to ask for help at the nearest car service.

If the driver must apply additional effort to turn the driver, this is the first sign that the steering rack is not all right and most likely, it requires repair. Among other things, when there are some failures with a steering rack, the driver can hear a strong knock in the steering wheel or see that the oil flowed.

Tighten the steering rack

Most often, in modern cars installed hydraulic type rails, because this type of part exactly and quickly transmits the steering wheel, even if the speed is high enough.

The steering rack becomes indigence not quickly, but the constant riding on uneven roads with pits and potholes is a direct path to the breakdown of the part in question. Among other things, the sleeping policeman, who look completely and beside uneven roads, also become causes of breakdowns of such a detail. Do not forget about dust, which negatively affects the operation of the steering rack.

It is not necessary to immediately think that the knock in the steering rake will cause the need for its replacement, also in this problem will be able to help its tightening. Despite the fact that this method of repair is not always the most efficient, but often it is precisely pulling up the steering rack becomes a solution to a similar problem.

Adjustment processes are not in this case something difficult, therefore, with such a task, everyone can cope with anyone who at least once sat behind the wheel and at least it has an exemplary concept, where and that the car is located.

In order to tighten the steering rack, you will need:

  • partner
  • key
  • automotive Yama
  • clearance

The sequence of actions is as follows:

  • The car should stand on the handbrake so that under any circumstances he has rolled anywhere
  • Vehicle wheels should stand in a straight line
  • Luftometer will need to determine the gap.

  • We take a screw adjustment type (it will be possible to find it with the help of studying a car passport, because in each vehicle this screw can be in different places).
  • The protum process should be carried out in moderate mode, no need to hurry. After each turn mandatory, you must check the movement of the steering wheel and its move.
  • If you think that tightened the steering rail, as it should be, you need to check it through the running tests.
  • It happened that the leading wheels "go" with the stretch - then the rake will need to be a little closer.
  • It should be understood that the suspension of such a part as the steering rack does not always completely remove the knock in the steering wheel, but often the situation still succeeds. No one says that the problem will disappear forever, but temporarily you can get rid of the knock and such an unnecessary backlash.

The driver of the vehicle must keep in mind that after a while after tightening the steering rack, it still "wonders" and may even fully fail, so the appeal to a hundred is mandatory, and the faster, the better.

Let's look at another detailed instruction tightening the steering rack in the car:

  • We raise the car to the overpass (you can just put on the pit). It should be understood that this process is carried out from under the car.
  • We find an adjusting nut, the main purpose of which is the tip of the steering rack. If you do not know exactly where it is located, read the instructions (passport to your car).
  • If there is no such nut in your car (and in some models it can be), then your hands can not work with the problem. The only way out in such a situation is to seek help to professionals for a hundred.

  • When you find on the bottom of the car such a nut, it's time to pick up the key to tighten it.
  • Do not forget that in some cases, the nuts have a protective type cap, which will need to be removed before tightening the nut.

Now, when the key is selected, proceed to the immediate tightening of the nut. In this case, it is also impossible to rearrange in this case, because the steering wheel will simply cease to spin.
