Within a month, the following crap got out:
Knock in the steering gear (where the tie rods grow from)
if you quickly pull the steering wheel left and right. Even in the polic gives
What's this? If there is a rail, are there any clamping bolts to
squeeze or "to the morgue"?

PS Steering rods (tip and ball joint) are normal.

if bushings are broken, knocking occurs when moving up / down

the tips are screwed to the rods, and the rods, in turn, are screwed to the mechanism in the steering rack. the tie rod from the side of the rail ends with a hinge - it is possible and knocks (if it fits, then there are two cuts on the round hinge for unscrewing)
unscrew the tip from the hub (not from the tie rod. camber will remain), turn the steering wheel in the appropriate direction until it stops and pull the tip and the rod and you will see where the backlash is.

and under the anther, the lubricant can normally be used for the gear mechanism itself.

p.s. possibly knocks on the cardan, which connects the rail to the steering wheel. and also the rail itself can be unscrewed, which also happens.

Eibo, I'm not lying! In the phrase about the Zaporozhets, there is not a word about the rail.
And the backlash is a universal, there is both in the worm and in the rail
Take a closer look, please!

PS At the weekend I will get to know more thoroughly!

“Let's exchange experiences!? - FORD ”Part 1100

Hello!
In full accordance with the purpose of the conference, I share my experience in steering repairs on my fifteen-year-old Escort.

Ref. data. After repairing the front suspension (replacing shock absorbers and almost all rubber bands), the unstable behavior of the car on the road began to be especially felt. All the time she was pulled and thrown to the side, then to the right, then to the left. Moving around the city has become unsafe. An attempt to adjust the toe was unsuccessful due to the increased backlash in the steering. Preliminary diagnostics showed a dead steering rack bushing and a loose left steering rod joint. The decision was made to replace both rods and the bushing. The steering tips were changed a year ago and were quite alive.

Result. Backlash in the steering disappeared, the car became predictable on the road. With the toe-in “almost guessed it”, the car pulls slightly to the left, but I am sure it will be eliminated on the normal toe adjustment. I'm happy 🙂

Price.
1. Steering rods, Spain, took in KEMP in Tsaritsyno - 323 * 2 = 646 rubles.
2. Steering rack bushing of an unknown manufacturer, in Kuntsevo - 160 rubles.
3. Anthers of steering tips for VAZ-08, Balakovo, at the Orenburg car market - 10 * 2 = 20 rubles.
4. Castrol MS / 3 grease - I took it for a long time, about 100 rubles.
TOTAL: 926 rubles, 4 hours of leisurely work.

I wonder if it is also possible to enter the Sierre with the power steering as Rubtsov did with the rail on Excourt?
Nobody tried it?

Rubtsov wrote and did everything elegantly, well done. for which I respect him immensely. but in general, it is very difficult to tinker with the old rail. especially if she “didn't go”
It is better to give the service "turnkey" and with wheel adjustment.

someone says what. Someone says that the sleeve can be replaced, some cannot.
And the rake is with power steering - hell knows what kind of turns it has in comparison with the usual one.
For me - if it was possible to change the sleeve - I changed it myself.

but it is not expressed. Confused me by the fact that I could not find the adjusting bolt,
\ bolt what.

and also did not quite understand where the steering shaft is disconnected in order to remove the rail and try to repair it. And it is generally maintainable.
\ replacement. there it is if it costs 50 dollars without GURA.

According to external signs, the bushings cannot be replaced there,
\ there are no bushings. there is a simple mechanism based on one single detail - a three-centimeter vertical worm.
\ it is collapsible. but it’s not the rail that hits you, but the steering rods. IMHO
And there is also such a cunning O-ring on the rail.
If it is broken then of course it can beat. but the 97th year is unlikely.

"A good knock will always come out" .. these are the words for the Escort.
... unlike Sierra or Scorpio. The owner's escort will tell you that he is wounded.
Come on. The escort car is a rally car and does not die on the road.
