What the steering tips look like. Tips Steering thrust - an important element of the steering mechanism

Hello, dear car enthusiasts! The car, except that this is a very useful attribute for any person, is also a source of increased danger. This is an axiom. Such a definition was established by law and is based on the fact that, leaving under the control of a person various reasonsMachine can cause significant harm to both people and the whole surrounding.

The task of each car owner, minimizing the potential danger of making accidents. This should not only clearly comply with the rules of expensive movement, but also follow technical condition Auto vehicle. And this is again axiom.

Often, in articles about traffic accidents, you can meet the phrase "The driver did not cope with the steering control." Under such a wording, a banal malfunction or wear of the system elements can be hidden, which include steering tips, which are binder link Between the steering rod and the swivel fist.

It is these, small in size, but important in their intended details can be summarized in a responsible moment.

Tip Steering Tract - Purpose and Device

The steering system of the car may differ: the steering device, the presence of amplifiers different types, design and other signs, but the steering tips are present in any of them.

The tip performs a very important function - it transmits the translational movement from one element of the steering mechanism to another, the angle between which changes slightly. To do this, the tip is made by a hinge element, that is, it has moving elements. Depending on the steering design in one car, there may be 4 or 6 steering tips.

Steering tips have a simple and reliable device, consist of 8 main elements:

• case with a semi-axle;
• ball finger with thread;
• teflon liner, providing retention and movement of the ball finger;
• case cover, covering the device from damage and garbage;
• neoprene case or boot, protecting the case and mechanism from the finger side;
• elastic ring holding a finger cover;
• spring case for fixing its edge on the case;
• nut of a finger.

The new tip of the steering thrust does not have a backlash, as the ball finger is very tight pressed the Teflon liner in the case. In the process of work, the liner is taken, the finger begins to move freely, the backlash appears, which adversely affects the controllability of the car. In the case of wear, the urgent replacement of steering tips is required.

Replacing the tip of the steering traction - the technology and procedure

Considering that on each of the parts of the steering system, there is a huge responsibility, when signs of malfunction appear, urgently should be repaired.

Steering tips are considered consumable materialWhich when the backup appears, you just need to replace. For some models, tips are designed to be repaired. They need to replace the inserted liner for a new one. Both replacement and repair, the tip must be removed.

Removing the steering tip is made as follows:

• the front wheel fastening bolts weaken, the car rises and is installed on the stand, the wheel is removed;
• the finger nut is unscrewed, but not to the end, because it will serve as a support for the filler;
• it is put on the ball joints of the ball joints, the finger is squeezed out of the swivel fist;
• next, you should completely unscrew the nut and remove your finger out of the hole;
• on the steering line weakened the locking tip and the tip twisted with the thrust,
• at the same time, it is important to leave the label where it was and to count the number of speed of the body in order to subsequently set the tip exactly to the same position.
• installing a new steering tip is made in reverse order.

The whole procedure takes 15-20 minutes, but it will be able to ensure that steering It will not let go on the road and will not be the cause of the accident. It is important to remember that after replacing the steering tips, it is necessarily recommended to carry out the collapse. Although, some masters and do not insist on it.

Steering is one of the important components of the vehicle. Not only comfortable movement depends on its condition, but also safety while driving, both for the driver and for the rest of the movement. This control unit consists of several components that need to be checked on wear and health from time to time. One of these elements are thrust and steering tip (in the steering control two). These parts allow you to rotate the wheels of the car under the necessary angle, contributing to high maneuverability. And in order to increase the life of the levers data, it is necessary to promptly recognize the signs of the steering tips.

It is very important occasionally to inspect not only the external state of the car, but also to look under it. Thus, you can promptly warn breakdown any detail or node as a whole. This check does not take much time and forces, and for this it is not necessary to be an expert in cars. To determine a malfunction, it is better to ask a friend to help you, since it takes two people to determine the presence of a backlash. In addition, you can check the item for mechanical damage.

The thrust comes in a malfunction much less frequently than tips.

To perform the primary inspection of steering tips, you need to perform the following:

Signs of breakdowns

The second can be called the consumables. Their service life, on average, is no more than forty thousand kilometers. To increase this indicator, it is necessary to ride only on a flat surface and drive a very careful car.

So let's consider the basic signs of breakage that can lead a car in a malfunction.

• The backlash is a clear sign. If, when moving at low speeds, you started to notice that the wheels of your car rotate not according to the rotation of the steering wheel, then you need to check the steering mechanism. This should be performed urgently, the presence of a backlash can lead to the worst consequences.
• Return to the steering wheel. If when driving you started noticeing the power of the steering wheel, it is also a bell to check the steering thrust and tips.
• The appearance of abnormal sounds. If the boot is damaged, then the dust appears and settles the connection. Thus, when the element is working, sounds appear. In the future, such conditions can lead to premature wear of these parts.

It is very important to respond in time to the emergence of freelance deviations in the work of your car. Try to give the diagnostics as much time as possible. Such an attitude will allow you to maintain your car and its components for a long time.

The record shows how the steering torment is diagnosed on the VAZ brand car, as well as the tips for determining the malfunction of the tips of the steering.

Diagnostics of the steering part of the car - the key to a secure ride is not only for the driver and its passengers, as well as for the participants of the movement. Safety and comfort during movement depend on the health of all the elements of this node, including from the steering thrust with tips. In this article, I will tell you about these important elements, and also consider how the replacement of steering tips and the replacement of the steering thrust is performed.

The steering traction is an element related to steering, the main task of which is an obstacle to the slide of the car when performing turns. The correct operation of this element contributes to the correct turn of the leading wheels. It consists of medium, right and left traction and levers for the left and right wheels. Depending on the car model and the type of construction there are many types of thrust.

Tips are the final elements coming from the steering thrust to the car's wheel. They have another name - hinge. These parts are part of the car steering and an integral part in the operation of the steering. Hinges have a view of hemispheric fingers. The main reason for breakdown is their fragility. They are not subject to partial repair, as the replacement is performed entirely. The tip consists of the following details: the housing with the axis, the pin having a thread, the teflon gasket at which the finger is moving, the protective crankcase (is designed to protect the tip from deformations and beats), a plastic cover for protecting the steering tip and the case, a silicone ring for Fastening a protective cover, spring and nut.

One of the main pledges of the normal operation and the long operation of all nodes and parts of the car is timely and correct diagnostics.

To replace the steering thrust takes place not so often, you need to follow some parameters. Tips should move along the finger axis at more than one and a half millimeters. If the indicators are few others, then the tip must be replaced with the hinge.
Coupling clamp should be held on the clutch quite tight. Sometimes you need to check how much he is tightened. It is very important that the cover protection covers are not damaged. Otherwise, the hinge may be unusable due to dust from entering them. If there are some defects and cracks on protective covers, then it is necessary to decide on their urgent replacement.

Timely diagnostics allows you to identify existing problems before they declare themselves. To accomplish it, you do not need to purchase a special tool. All you need is to get behind the wheel and twist it in different directions.

At the same time, it is necessary to listen to the sounds carefully (if there are hints of the damage, new sounds may appear). The presence of sounds or a noticeable bad reaction of the wheel turns to the steering turns is an explicit signal to replacing parts in the steering control, it is more difficult that these parts are traction and tips. If this happened, you need to do urgent replacement.

One of the main breakdows of the steering is considered premature wear or partial damage to the hinge of the tip.

How to remove and replace

Replacing the steering thrust and replacing the tips of the steering is quite not a simple task, but this is not a reason to panic and seek help from experts from the nearest station maintenance. Replacing the tips of the steering and the thrust themselves is possible own forces.

All that is needed - the desire to repair your car on our own and the acquisition of spare parts and required tool. The only thing you need to pay attention is for each car model, appropriate elements are provided, so buy only such.
Replacing the steering thrust can be made with the tips. That is, if your tips have not yet spoiled, but you use them for a long time, it is better to replace them. This, of course, will not save you money today, but will not make you climb again under the car, just now change them.

So, will prepare the necessary tool:

• Jack - the main element when repairing a car;
• Goats for extra damps;
• Wrenches;
• Pliers;
• The device for removing the thrust (this device you will have to buy, because without it, the replacement is inconvenient and time-consuming);
• Screwdriver flat and cross (just in case);
• Liquid for weakening fasteners VD-40 (sometimes without it can not do without it)

After everyone has prepared, it's time to get a replacement of steering. We will perform it in stages, it will make it possible to figure it out in more detail in this matter.

1. Of course, it is desirable to drive the car on watching pitThis will create full access to detail and more comfortable working conditions. Therefore, we find out where you can use the pit, and drive the car.
   
2. After a successful check-in to the pit need to fix parking brake, Run the steering wheel. It is also recommended to disconnect the battery.
3. We take a jack, install it directly in the area of \u200b\u200bthe alleged replacement. After that, we raise the car and install additional safety goats. Since the replacement of the steering thrust occurs, this action needs to be duplicated and on the other side. After the machine is raised and fixed, the jack can be removed.
4. It is desirable before you carry out work, handle all the fasteners that you have to unscrew. I advise you to use VD-40 for these purposes. This will allow without much effort to loosen the mount and speed up the whole process.
5. Now you can remove the wheels. The procedure is familiar to all. You need to unscrew the lock nuts on the mounting bolts and remove the wheels from them.
6. First of all, you need to unscrew the nut on the hinge of the thrust, which that is attached to the swivel lever.
7. Further turn the ball finger. For this purpose, a special tool is useful. With it, this process is more pleasant. If you do not have it, then without a hammer and mounts, it's not to do here (I'm not kidding).
   
8. After that, you need to bend the lock plate and unscrew the mount to which the steering thrust are attached to the steering mechanism. So we removed the steering craving.
9. To disconnect the tip you need to hold the steering crave in the tessets. After that it is necessary to loosen the mounting of the tip and the coupling.
10. To execute proper installation A new tip, when removing the old one, you need to make a note of its position or count and remember the coils.
11. The replacement of the anther is a necessary event. To do this, you need to remove the sealing ring that holds it, and remove the boot.
    
12. Now you can start installing new parts. The tip is set primarily. Wear a new boot and tip to turn on your finger according to the marks made.
13. Next, the assembly occurs in the reverse order.

In fact, the replacement of the steering thrust and tips should not cause you any difficulties. Now it is necessary to check the work performed. If you have done everything right, you must have the following results:

• The backlash should not be present in new traction;
• The steering wheel should have a smooth and continuous move. The amount of its revolutions to the right and left should be equal. It must also return to the original position after performing the maneuver;
• After a run of 800 kilometers, you must perform extraordinary adjustment.

After completing the work on the replacement, it is advisable to make the collapse. This will avoid buying new rubber.
Important tips:

1. Before you begin to take the same equipment, you need to prepare the entire necessary tool.
2. Prepare also clean rags and pure water containers. This is undoubtedly useful as for cleaning parts and for pre-washing hands after work.
3. Replace it is better to produce over the repair pit.
4. To create increased security, use hemp or goats. The jack is not desirable to use long. It serves only for lifting the car.

How to replace the steering tip and how to make a replacement, for you no longer is a mystery. Now it remains to purchase a new set of elements. If you want to change and forget the repair for a long time, you need to buy only quality details. In this case, the savings are not to the place. I wish you success in an additional study of your car in the process of replacing parts.

Video Guidelines for replacing steering tips on VAZ-2110 cars, "VAZ-2112", "Kalina", "Grant" and "Prior". The records also show which tools you need to prepare.

The longitudinal steering should be located in such a way that with any movement of the wheels it has been subject to minimal axial movements. This is the main rule for a comfortable ride, but that these words will say a novice motorist, and not an auto show with experience? We will try to figure out.

Steering thrust - its functions and vulnerabilities

All steering thrusts carry out the following two functions. They transmit efforts from the steering mechanism to the rotary levers of the hubs, due to this, the wheel turns on, this is due to the hinges installed at the ends of the traction. Also, these elements of the car provide the desired angle of rotation of the wheels, because during turns the radii for which the wheels are moving are not the same. And adjusting the required length of thrust using a special thread, you can adjust the wheel installation angle (angle of convergence).

Most often, hinges come, and more precisely, the rubber liner, this, by the way, is in disrepair and all control. This happens as a result of long-term operation. Due to dust and dirt, it can also be spoiled. The thrust themselves become faulty, mainly only after mechanical exposure. It can be a wheel hitting on the edges of deep holes or a straight blow to stone and so on.

When do you need replacing the steering thrust?

To understand that the replacement of the steering thrust is necessary, on the following signs:

• in management appear outsided sounds, knock;
• there is a beating of the steering wheel;
• increased If it occurs during vertical swaying, then the ball support is needed or the hub bearing. In the case of horizontal swaying - the failure of the steering tip;
• the drive wheel rotates tight enough;
• during the movement of the car clone towards (or right, or left).

Of course, it is possible to replace this mechanism and independently, but before proceeding to actions, it is worth making the car diagnosis. Determine whether there is a backlash, as follows. It is necessary that someone turns the ram of your car, and in the meantime, you would define the presence of a backup of the eye, or slowly rotating the steering wheel yourself, to appreciate its trajectory. If there is a bias, it means that it is worth changing the tip of the steering thrust with the hinge.

Also, the diagnosis is also subject to a protective cover on the ball hinge, in the event that breaks and cracks are detected, it is subject to replacement.

Steering puller and other features of the replacement process

After careful diagnosis, if necessary, it should be proceeded directly to the dismantling of the old thrust and the installation of the new one. Be sure to start work your car on hand brake, and under rear wheels Install stubborn bars. If you need to dismantle the right cravings, then the front wheels are turned on the left side, when removing the left, respectively, is right.

Next, the front part of the car must be installed on the supports. The ball joint is attached to a swivel lever using the nut, it should be promoted, after removing the latch. For the next step, you will need a steering puller, with it, it is necessary to pressed the finger of the ball hinge from the rotary lever of the rack.

The screwdriver, unscrew the ends of the lock plate, so you will give off the bolts that fasten the steering thrust, then unscrew them at all. You must turn the connecting plate so that you can disconnect the craving from the steering mechanism. Now it can be removed. If you need to replace the tip of the steering thrust, then it is necessary to hold the hexagon of the coupling in the vice and weaken the tip lock nut.

You can remove the steering craving without a special filler. To do this, you first need to raise the car on the jack and be sure to substant up under the bottom of the reliable stands, thereby securing the car from the fall. Finger steering tip must be moistened with WD-40 liquid or any other penetrating lubricant before all works. Since the work is performed without a filming This procedure is important, since the lubricant will help to quickly remove the item. In order not to go after repair at a service station, it is necessary to measure the length of the tip for the service / collapse.
Now you can move to the removal of the tip. For fastening, in most cases, a crown nut and a locking pin is used. First of all, you need to remove a pin, and then with the help of the end head or a cape key to break off the nut, unscrew it is completely not needed. the main problem Dismantling is the drainage fist of the swivel fist to the finger. For removal, you need a heavy hammer that you need to hit the nut several times, so that the tip fell off the place. After that, you can completely unscrew the nut and remove the tip.
It seems that the method is very simple and buy for this, the excumber is not at all necessary, but it is possible to use a hammer and gross physical strength in extreme cases. If the car is equipped with a steering rack, this item may fail from vibration due to strong blows. It will not break immediately, but each such repair dramatically reduces the life of the rail. In addition, it is possible to damage the tip thread, it is enough to hit the finger once and is practically guaranteed to go to the store for a new part.

The machine is not only a useful attribute for each modern person, but also creates increased danger to the driver and passengers. Auto practically at any time can fail for a variety of reasons, from this people inside the car can get injuries, and serious. Your task, as a car owner, to reduce the likelihood of an accident, as a result, the likelihood of injury. You need and follow all the rules. road, and regularly diagnose car systems.

In summary of accidents, you can often see as the reason for the following phrase: "The driver did not cope with the control." This occurs due to the usual breakdown of the steering parts or their wear. The reason may be in the steering tips that bind rounded fist and steering craving. These details are small-sized, but are extremely important because of their destination.

Purpose of the steering tip

IN different models Auto Steering can be designed differently: the steering column and the mechanism can be constructed in different ways, there may be a different type of carrier. But there is one common aspect - there are always steering tips.

Function steering tip - Transmit translational movements from one knot of the steering mechanism to another, with this angle between these parts changes to a small extent. To make a similar design, tips are made in the form of hinges, that is, movable. The number of tips varies from 4 to 6 pieces, it all depends on how the steering is constructed.

Steering tip device

The design of the steering tip includes 8 main elements:

1) The hull that has an axis;

2) Pin (or finger) with threads along the entire length;

3) Teflon gasket, the finger moves along it;

4) Carter, it is installed on the housing, prevents breakdown damage from deformation and beats;

5) Plastic cover located on the side of the finger, protecting the case and the tip itself;

6) Silicone ring, fixing the protective case installed on the finger;

7) Spring, which contributes to a more reliable fastening of the case on the case;

8) Nut holding finger.

What you need to replace the steering tip

In order to replace the steering tip, you, in addition, patience and strength, will be needed:

1) Jack;

2) Unscrew the bolts that connect front wheel with suspension;

3) Lightly weaken the finger nut, leaving it on the thread so that it is easier to use the puller;

4) Put on the puller with which to extract the finger as much as possible;

5) Fully unscrew the finger nut and remove the last;

6) Unscrew the lock nut on the steering line;

7) Remove the tip itself from the steering thrust;

8) Make a mark according to the location of the former steering thrust, as well as calculate the number of revolutions produced by the tip body.

After performing these actions, instead of an old steering tip, you can put a new one. All this takes about 15-20 minutes from you, but during this time you guarantee yourself a reliable control of the car, and also partially secure yourself and passengers from the accident. Just remember that at the end of the replacement procedure you need to conduct an alignment. That's it. Good luck to you on the roads and off-road.
