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?

Posted by: miron-esc, April 30, 2003 at 11:58:35 am

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.

Information on how to disassemble the rail with power steering, in a garage. There is one jamb in the vidos, I could not remember exactly where the retaining ring was, above the oil seal or under it, but this is not so important because everything will be visible during disassembly.

Replacing the oil seal and bearing

The video allows you to assess the level of technical equipment of PSt Car Service, as well as the quality of the services provided. In addition, • understand the causes of malfunctions in the power steering system, • evaluate the complexity of the design of the steering mechanism (rack or gearbox, power steering pump) and its repair • avoid mistakes when choosing a place where repairs will be carried out

Valve clearance adjustment, the reason was audible, the engine was working very loudly and pulsations in the intake

I tried to extinguish the errors of the pillow, which in the end managed to remove all the errors. But as it turned out, the unit has two modes of operation. First of all, he tests the entire system after a successful test, he goes to launch himself. But due to a bunch of errors, he fell into emergency mode, and this is only a replacement.

We start the car in frost. the diesel is not frozen. An old Ford is still capable, and can do a lot.

Have the dimensions of the oil seals been preserved?

Can you please tell me how you took out the fittings that go to the rail from the expansion tank and pump?

AvtoFIX helped me out a lot, now I will confidently tackle the dismantling.

there is nothing complicated, you unscrew one bolt and they are pulled out. On the rail itself, you still need to release the tube holders.

Greetings! Well, by the way, after replacing the rail seals ?? Is it worth it or is it better to look for a used one? That there are no links to the BZ Drive here ??)) People would have found more information useful to you!)

it was all the oil seals leaking. and there is a pump, how did you clog the oil seals, how did you push the shaft ?. and the shaft to the star, there you need to grind tens of 3, and not sandpaper)

of course it was stubborn, one inside the case, and the second on the other side outside. The rail was taken from disassembly, so I did not know how it was assembled there. Or maybe even a plant.

if so, then the left oil seal is fungal there, and they sometimes fall out of their seat, and then when the gur starts to work, the pressure pushes it back, but not completely, then it starts to leak. in short, like this: 1. need to degrease the body well before installing the oil seal, 2. how did you pull out the oil seal, was there a plastic spacer under it? without it, it will also flow.

I will not argue so, the essence of what she snotty, and from time to time the joke began to completely throw out all the slurry in less than a minute. Then you will stay overnight and you can drive for a week without any problems without refilling. Maybe this pressure reducing valve in the pump hung up, which led to an excess of pressure in the rail.

the shaft is ground, not welded on, and yes, the seals were leaking. to flow from the rail, it means the oil seals, in very rare cases the body itself. if ugandoshit from the inside. if you collected it on such a shaft as in the video, then it will already flow 100%. in short, if it has flowed, something is already wrong. pump before the rail leaks, of course, nothing to do with

Well, I think of the shaft (hydraulic cylinder rod) to weld it on and grind it. It was said about the pump that all the oil was periodically expelled from the rail in a couple of minutes. Or did you want to say that the oil seals so I can ?. The pump has a rpm pressure relief valve.
