Priora do-it-yourself power steering rack repair

In detail: Prior do-it-yourself repair of a steering rack with a hydraulic booster from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Lada Priora is a Russian-made car that is highly popular among our compatriots due to its low price and attractive appearance. However, even in spite of this, Lada Priora has one vulnerability associated with the poor quality of the road surface - the steering rack or, in the language of experts, the "power steering / EUR gearbox". Fortunately, you can pull it up with your own hands.

The first sign indicating the need to adjust the rack is the appearance of a knock when driving on small irregularities. The knocking will be felt especially clearly when driving on country roads. In this case, the driver will feel shocks and vibrations on the steering wheel, which will also be transmitted to the entire body of the car.

In addition, if the steering nut is loosened while driving on the highway, the car will "float" a little, and the driver will need additional steering, which will also immediately become noticeable.

Also, experts say that a tightening is necessary if the driver begins to notice the appearance of a clearly audible crunch in the area of the steering column, as well as an increase in the amplitude of the steering wheel revolution.

You should think about replacing the rail when tightening it does not in any way affect the behavior of the car on the road, and also does not help get rid of an unpleasant knock. A failed steering rack will cause a significant backlash in the steering wheel. Moreover, it can start to seize (this happens extremely rarely, but such cases are known). If the rail starts to jam, then it is better to refuse to operate the car, since this can lead to the most sad consequences.

You cannot do without a replacement even if, after tightening it, it was possible to get rid of knocks and vibrations, but they reappeared later.

To carry out the tightening, you will need the following tools:

Slotted screwdriver (in simple terms, "flat" screwdriver);
Wrench 13;
Special key 17, designed to adjust the steering rack.

For a more comfortable and quick work, it is recommended to drive the car into a special inspection pit or overpass, as well as use an assistant, whose role even a child can cope with.

To get to the reiki, it is worth performing a number of simple steps:

Disconnect the battery terminals and dismantle it;
Using a 13 wrench, unscrew the bolt securing the battery stand, and then remove it;
Directly under the steering rack using a slotted screwdriver, remove the small plug of the adjustment system.

After that, there will be access to the nut, which is responsible for adjusting the thermal gap in the rail.

Next, you need to slip your hand under the steering rack and try to put the key for the rack on the nut. It is necessary to tighten the nut clockwise, but since the rail itself is located as if in an inverted state, it may seem from the side that it is necessary to tighten the nut counterclockwise. Experts recommend tightening the nut at a time no more than 25-30 degrees, after which you need to try to rotate the steering wheel, which should rotate without jerking or biting.

It is also necessary to listen to the sounds coming from the steering wheel - if knocks disappeared during the steering wheel rotation, and there are no other noises, then the rail is tightened correctly, and you can put the battery and the rubber plug in place.

According to the statements of experienced auto mechanics, the process of tightening the steering rack on cars with EUR and power steering is practically the same, so this manual can be called universal.

It is worth noting that the complete replacement process is also identical in the case of power steering and power steering, with the exception of one point - in cars with power steering, before replacing the rack, it is necessary to drain the fluid from the steering wheel amplifier tank, and in cars with power steering, remove the terminals from the battery.

Full replacement and repair is a series of actions, for the implementation of which you need to have not only special knowledge, but also a considerable amount of free time, so if the car owner has neither the first nor the second, it is preferable to go to the nearest service station.

At the same time, in order not to become their regular guest, you should know some secrets for operating the steering rack, which can significantly extend its service life.

It is strongly not recommended to "jump" the car on the curbs, as well as drive around at high speed on the rails, since each such trip causes cracks on the rail itself, as well as deformation of the shaft that is part of the steering mechanism.
It is not recommended to frequently unscrew the steering wheel all the way. Of course, in this case it will be very difficult to demonstrate your maneuvering capabilities, but this will significantly increase the life of one of the most important parts of the machine.
Carefully monitor the condition of the protective anthers, which must be sure to maintain their tightness. Replacing the anthers is several times cheaper than replacing the entire rail.
It is also worth monitoring the level and condition of the hydraulic fluid, since its decrease or color change is associated with the presence of problems in the hydraulic system of the car, which can result in a rail breakage.

From time to time, you need to undergo a full-fledged maintenance, which will allow you to eliminate in advance malfunctions that can cause irreversible consequences, injuring yourself, your loved ones and other road users. And also in case of identifying problems in the operation of the car, it is better not to risk it and go to the nearest car service as soon as possible.

A small half turn of the steering wheel and "Priora" smoothly fits into the next turn. The entire control system works like a clock. And the base of the front wheel steering system and the steering rack are also great. But sometimes she can present surprises, as well as any detail, on any machine. What it is for, how it is arranged, and how the Priora steering rack changes, this story will tell.

In cars with front-wheel drive, there is no way to install the classic, long-proven front-wheel steering system. This will not be done by the transverse installation of the motor and the power drives to the wheels. Therefore, the cumbersome system of levers was replaced by a steering rack. Its main task is to transfer power from the steering wheel to the swing arms.

To save space, this element of the Priora control system is located on the wall of the engine compartment. On the bulkhead between the engine and the Priora's cabin. The rack is connected to the steering column located in the passenger compartment.

This important "Priora" control unit is assembled from the following components.

The rail is movable.
Frame.
Splined shaft with bearing.
Metal body (casing).
Seals and oil seals.
Fasteners and accessories (bolts, nuts).
Springs.
Rubber cover of the mechanism.

The basis of this mechanism is a metal pin (rail), so to speak. There are teeth on one part of it. They mate with a steering shaft located at right angles to the bearing pin. This is, in fact, the worm gear known to everyone. The shaft rotates and moves, engaging with the teeth, the rack inside the casing. The protective casing has a special slot for connecting the ends of the steering rods. In the center of the pin (rail) there are special holes for lugs, which are connected to the rotating wheels through special levers.

Most often, the rubbing parts of this unit fail. It is quite simple to determine a breakdown or simply deterioration of the steering mechanism. This will be marked by the following signs:

The steering wheel is difficult to turn.
When entering a turn, a tapping and grinding sound is heard from the mechanism.
In motion, when using the steering wheel, sensitive shocks are transmitted from the steering wheel to the hands.

In general, the Priora's controllability deteriorates significantly.

Upon inspection, the foreman will determine the need to replace the "Priora" steering rack by visual inspection. Usually, he grabs the rod with his hand, and the partner turns the steering wheel. The master makes a verdict on excessive backlash and extraneous sounds.

This not particularly difficult but extremely important job is best done on a maintenance hoist. In extreme cases, in a wide inspection pit. But then the car must be positioned so that both wheels are removed.

So, the car is installed according to the conditions mentioned. The wheels are dismantled. You can start. First of all, put the steering wheel of the Priora car in the position - straight ahead. That is, the wheels are looking straight ahead. After that, it is advisable to fix the steering wheel.
Loosen the electric power steering mount. Remove the cardan connecting the EUR with the splined tip of the steering shaft. And go under the car. There are two options. You can unscrew the tips from the wheel. But most craftsmen prefer to unscrew the bolts securing the steering rods to the rail. The fact is that it is much easier to extract it this way.

This is done as follows, two bots are unscrewed by 17 holding the pressure plate. First, 1 is turned inside out, and the second is loosened. The thrust is moved to the side. Then the second one is removed, together with the plate and the other thrust is moved aside.

Now the mountings are removed directly to the steering rack. These are semicircular brackets with rubber seals. They are worn on threaded rods in the Priora body and tightened with 13 nuts. It is most convenient to unscrew them with a head. After removing the nuts, the staples are removed. The removed device moves slightly towards itself. This is necessary for the worm gear to come out of the hole in the passenger compartment. Now you can remove the steering rack. For this, a technological window is provided in the Priora's left wing. You can carefully feed the edge of the knot into it and pull it out. Either for further disassembly and repair, or simply for replacement with a new copy.
As usual, the entire installation of the part is carried out strictly in reverse order. But before you start, you need to meet a few very important conditions!

Well, the second point. The fact is that at the factory, none of the components of this mechanism, except for the shaft bearing, are lubricated. It is imperative to remove the anthers and liberally lubricate the inner parts of the mechanism with solid oil or lithol through the side plugs.
After these requirements are met, you can start the traditional assembly in the reverse order. When everything is assembled, turn on the ignition to activate the amplifier and check the control status.

Well, the repair of this device is a separate interesting topic.

A useful video on replacing this important Priora control unit:

Before proceeding with the description of this repair, if it can be called such at all, let's consider the main reason why you have to tighten the steering rack on the Priora.So, I think that many owners know that when a knock appears from the side of the steering rack or its thrust, it is necessary to adjust, or rather, tighten the rack using a special nut that is located on the inside of the case, which is clearly visible in the photo below.To understand where this nut is located, look at the photo below, everything is shown already from above - from the side of the hood, of course, in this case, this nut is on the back side:To get to this adjusting nut, you will most likely have to remove the battery, since without it there is more free space under the hood. Although for good, even the battery in the Priora does not interfere with this repair (unlike such cars as Kalina or Granta).It is worth noting that you may need the following tools for work:

key 10 mm or head with a knob

key for 13

the key for tightening the rail - exactly 2110 and not 2108

Now, using a special key from the inside, as shown in the photo below, we insert it into the hole:It is enough to make less than half a turn, and then try the backlash on the rods. If he disappeared and there is no more knocking, then there is no point in pulling up further, since you can overdo it, and in this case, the rail can be snacked on. For a more illustrative example and description of the entire procedure, watch the video report below.This video review was prepared specifically for this site, and everything is shown using the example of the 2011 Lada Priora.

Image - Priora do-it-yourself power steering rack repair

Would need: remove the front wheels and prepare the tools (head "13", wrench "15", box wrench "19", large slotted screwdriver, pliers, mounting blade and hammer).

In the passenger compartment, remove the lower part of the intermediate shaft from the splines of the pinion shaft:

Unscrew the nut of the fastening bolt using the head "13".
Pull out the bolt.
Release the terminal connection with a large slotted screwdriver.
Remove the lower section of the intermediate shaft from the splines of the pinion shaft.

To remove the Priora steering rack without steering rods disconnect the inner ends of the tie rods from the steering gear:

Remove the retaining plate for the bolts of the inner ends of the steering rods by hooking it up with a flat screwdriver.
Unscrew one bolt completely using a 15 ”spanner wrench and loosen the other bolt.
Swivel the connecting plate downward.
Remove steering rod. We remove the second steering rod after we unscrew the second bolt.

To remove the Priora steering rack together with the steering rods, you will have to disconnect the outer ends of the steering rods from the pivot arms of the shock absorber struts:

Unbend and then pull out the cotter pin with pliers.
Partially unscrew the nut securing the ball bolt using a 19 ”spanner wrench.
Press out the finger using a special puller. If not, then insert a mounting paddle between the pivot arm and the outer tip, and then hit the end of the pivot arm with a hammer.
Press out the ball joint pin all the way using a large slotted screwdriver.

Now, in order to pull out the steering rack with or without rods, you should:

Unscrew the two nuts securing the steering rack bracket to the bulkhead using the "13" head.
Remove the two brackets.
Remove the steering rack through the window in the left wheel arch, having previously moved it forward to remove the pinion shaft from the hole in the bulkhead.

Before mounting, check that the rail is in the middle position. To do this, using the sliding pliers for the flat on the pinion shaft, we rotate the shaft in either direction until it stops, after which we turn the shaft in the opposite direction two full turns and turn the shaft so that the flat on the shaft is located vertically on the right side along the direction of the car. Otherwise, the installation of the rail is carried out in the reverse order.

The steering rack of Lada Priora is the same as that of Kalina or VAZ 2110-2112 of the new model and has a catalog number: 11183-3400010 (inside the rasp 21100-3401068). The price is about 3500r.

The steering rack of the Priora with the EUR is no different from the usual one, but the steering rack of the Priora with the power steering has a different catalog number (see the interchangeability of VAZ steering racks).

If you are dismissive of your car, then this is fraught with consequences. The car will require constant care. To do this, he needs to carry out a periodic technical inspection, on the basis of which he is convinced of the serviceability of certain units.

Steering gear of a car

Timely fault detection steering rack and its repair - a guarantee of safety.

If a backlash appears in the steering mechanism, and there are also constant noises and knocks when driving on an uneven road, then this is a sign that the mechanism needs repair.

The construction of the rail itself is relatively simple. During operation, the parts of the mechanism can wear out, therefore, gaps appear between them, which will cause backlash.

Steering design

Anthers also play an important role in the rail, which protect the mechanism from dirt and dust, as well as moisture.

If the rubber covers are damaged or there are leaks in them, then this can cause some problems that may be associated with corrosion or contamination of unit elements.

If uncharacteristic behavior of the car on the road was noticed while driving, then it is necessary to determine what caused this. There are not many ways to diagnose the rail. They are all simple. Among them are the following:

If, in the area where the rack and the steering shaft meet, when force is applied, a knock is heard, then the problem is the lack of bearing lubrication.
If, by grasping the thrust joint in the engine compartment, the mechanism will backlash detected, this will indicate a worn bushing or insufficient tightening of the connections.

Removing the steering rack bushing

If you have to repair the rail on your own, it is worth noting that this is a rather complex process that requires a certain skill and knowledge. Certainly, self-repair will be cheaper... Also, the work will require the help of a partner.

Steering rack repair kit

First, you need to remove the battery, the platform under it and the air duct in the engine compartment. Next, you need to unscrew the clamps with which the rail is attached to the body. The difficulty of this work is that careless unscrewing can damage the studs, which are difficult to replace.

Removing the rod ends from the steering rack

After that, unscrew the bolts that hold the ends of the rods. Next, the flange bolt securing the rail is unscrewed. After that, you need to fold the rail away from the case. This will require a pry bar or crowbar. The mechanism can be pulled out through the hole in the mudguard. You will need a jack here.

Remove the support and protective cap from both sides of the mechanism.
Unfasten protective covers.
Remove the stop nut using a special key.

We remove the drive gear with the bearing

Next, you need to replace all the elements that are included in the steering rack repair kit, check the product for backlash and carry out a visual inspection.

After disassembling the rack, special attention should be paid to the worm gear mechanism and the support sleeve. Also, if the anthers have been damaged, then some parts of the mechanism may corrode.

Here everything must be cleaned and rinsed, and also abundantly lubricated.

It is imperative to change the retaining ring and the rail stop... These parts are subject to the most wear and tear.

After installing the rail on the car, you need to adjust it.

To understand the process in more detail, it is recommended to watch the video:

There is a tax manual for replacing the power steering fluid! Image - Priora do-it-yourself power steering rack repair

REPAIR REPORT: racks with power steering.

I collected everything in the reverse order, after washing it in gasoline and wiping everything with a cloth soaked in it (but not one

), but I wrote above how to fill in the system.
Well, probably that's all. If something is not clear ask anyone interested. Sorry for the low-quality photos and incomprehensible (maybe for whom) explanations. I called some things in my own words, so I also ask you not to find fault, and also do not pay attention to the spelling 😀

.
And in general, guys, I tried my best. 😎

V! C I do not understand at the expense of the steering rack housing, is there a Belleville spring there? Take a look at the topic of replacing the Belleville spring washer from SS-20 and compare it with the power steering rail, did you find one https://my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/139/viewtopic.php?t=88696&postdays=0&postorder= asc & start = 30
The knocks on my car seem to me to come just from the crankcase of the rack on gravel at low speed.

I did not install the rack without an amplifier due to a mismatch in the dimensions of the steering housing or what other reasons?

Dear customers, in order to avoid mistakes when sending the repair kit 2110-3400010-30RK for a steering rack with power steering, in the "Comment" line indicate the steering rack with power steering or not, your car model, year of manufacture.

The main function of the steering rack (reducer) in the car device is to organize the rotation of the car. The steering rack is present in cars with power steering, as well as in those cars in which there is no power steering. It is she who transfers the force that the driver applies to the steering wheel, through the tips, rods, to the steering levers connected to the wheels by means of the trunnion. It connects the steering wheel to the wheels, and therefore its role is very important for safe movement in the car. The diagnosis of this mechanism must be approached with the utmost responsibility, as well as repairs.

Steering rack VAZ 2110 with and without power steering

All cars are subject to rapid wear of steering parts, regardless of price and status, because it is these parts that take a hit at any turn, hitting an obstacle, hitting the wheels on bumps on the road.

The first sign that it is worth looking at the technical condition of the steering mechanism is the appearance of extraneous sounds.They are usually heard when the steering wheel is turned. To improve the situation a little, you can tighten the rack, while the clearance in the gears decreases. But the consequence of this is a "tighter" steering wheel, it becomes difficult to turn it even at high speed, let alone maneuvering on the spot.

The steering rack 2110-3400010-30 with power steering may jam - therefore, it is best to purchase a repair kit 2110-30RK and install it.

The best option is to install a new node (although it will come out more expensive).

VAZ steering gear wear symptoms:

- an increasing knock on the left front of the body;

- leakage of grease from under the anthers;

- increased effort on the steering wheel when turning;

- periodic jamming of the steering wheel.

Even if one of these signs is present, it is worth doing work on the rail, and if all the troubles popped up right away, even more so.

To remove the rail 2110-3400010-30 from the power steering, you need to carry out preparatory work, drain the fluid that is needed for the power steering, pump out all the liquid from the power steering tank, then disconnect the hose from the tank to the pump and lower it into an empty container, and the hole plug the reservoir with some kind of rag, as soon as this is done, sit in the car, turn the key in the ignition so that the steering wheel does not lock and rotate it, from one end to the other, until all the liquid is completely drained from the entire system.

To carry out the work, you will need a special tool - pullers, as well as a standard set of keys, screwdrivers, and most importantly, the presence of a spray can with penetrating lubricant. Without it, it's not even worth starting repairs.

Of the materials, anthers of the rod ends are required, as well as a repair kit for the steering rack.

The steering rack of the 2110 family is helical, significantly different from the steering rack of the 2108 family.
