Great Wall Hover 中国精神 ›Logbook› Steering rack repair. Comparison of NOT original and ORIGINAL. Part 1

Good day to all.
The story will focus on the experience of operating 2 rails. shout and do not shout.
looking ahead I will say that if the rake is dead, then it is better to change it to ORI)))
Let's go.
A couple of years ago, I changed the original rail to do not yell, due to the fact that yelling was somehow spinning tightly, there is something to compare with, there are 2 hovers in the family). (the pump also pops up and no difference)
Was bought on the Internet, do not shout and successfully implemented)
She traveled with me safely for about a year, and then it started 🙂 the spool pin broke off, by trial and error, cut it off a couple more times, the required metal was found and the pin was turned and the problem was eliminated.
rode for another year and we started flowing ...
Photo of 2 rails, as they say, find 10 differences)))):

Now let's talk about the original
The original is very easy to disassemble, the bracket is hooked up and unscrewed counterclockwise

Well, to be continued in the second part ... TYTS

Great Wall Hover is not an easy car. On the one hand, given the relative simplicity of its design, it is reliable enough to be relied on when going on an off-road trip - to the dacha or fishing. On the other hand, the quality of its components (first of all, the quality of the steels from which the components of its working mechanisms are made) and the assembly of the car still fall short of European standards, therefore, attention to the main working mechanisms of Hover on the part of its owner should be especially close.

The steering system is one of the main in the car. So, when going on a serious trip, do not forget to check the condition of its elements. Better yet, visit a car service, where experienced specialists will carry out its diagnostics. So you can not only avoid unpleasant surprises on the road, but also, if you find faults in their early stages, significantly save on repairs.

The main element of the Hover steering system is the traditional rack. Its purpose is to convert the rotation of the steering wheel into the steering movement of the front wheels of the vehicle.

The design of this mechanism is as follows: by turning the steering wheel fixed on the shaft, the driver thereby sets in motion the guide gear fixed on the other end of the shaft. That, in turn, is connected by means of a gear train with a rack. Moving to the right or left, the latter pushes the tips, which, in fact, turn the wheels. The connections of the rail with the lugs and those with the wheels are carried out by means of bearings.

Almost all malfunctions of the steering rack, resulting from the wear of its parts, manifest themselves as backlash. It is not easy to determine in which node it was formed - this will require a full diagnostics of the control system. In most cases, the total backlash, called total, consists of several small ones, which can be eliminated at the initial stage of their appearance by tightening the corresponding joints.

If the backlash is large and the parts between which it appeared are badly worn out, then they will most likely have to be changed. The final cause of the malfunction and the way to eliminate it can only be given by diagnostics.

The steering rack is diagnosed by two specialists. The car is installed on a lift, and while one master slowly and evenly rotates the steering wheel, the second observes the turning of the wheels and makes sure that it is not accompanied by extraneous sounds - crunching and grinding. The latter, most likely, will indicate deformation or breakage of the guide gear or the rack itself.

After the symptoms of the breakdown are established, the rail is disassembled and dismantled from the car. Its parts are cleaned of contamination, and the master examines them for the detection of worn, broken and deformed elements. All of them are subject to mandatory replacement.

The main symptoms of a malfunction are as follows:

knocking in the area of the front axle of the car, which occurs when turning the steering wheel. It can be the same in different positions of the steering wheel, or it can decrease or disappear altogether when the steering wheel is turned to the extreme left and right positions. The latter is a symptom of severe wear, in fact, of the reiki;
knocking noise when driving on uneven roads. So often the backlash in the connection of the rack and gear makes itself felt;
extraneous sounds arising when turning the steering wheel may indicate a leak and the ingress of sand or a foreign object into the guide mechanism;
excessive efforts when rotating the steering wheel - this may indicate both a breakdown of the power steering system and deformation of the rack or guide gear;
lack of effort when turning the steering wheel is a rather rare symptom, indicating several possible malfunctions at once, ranging from the breakdown of the rack itself to the failure of the universal joint of the steering shaft;
the angle of rotation of the wheels does not correspond to the angle of rotation of the steering wheel;
a drop in the fluid level in the power steering reservoir indicates a leak in the power steering system - this is either damage to one or more oil seals, or a rupture of the circuit through which the fluid circulates.

Theoretically, if this or that part is not broken, but only deformed (for example, one of the rack teeth is bent), it can be restored. However, experts recommend doing this only when there is no way to replace the broken part. After all, the strength of the restored element will no longer be the same, and very soon the rail will need another repair.

The design of this car, unfortunately, is such that only one mounting / dismantling of the control mechanism requires serious effort. Therefore, it is better to repair the Hover steering rack with proper quality the first time, rather than postpone the final solution of the problem until later.

Having established the cause of the malfunction, the master, before starting work, will tell the car owner about possible solutions to the problem, the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. He will also name the cost of repairs of varying degrees of complexity. The final decision about which operation to carry out is made by the owner of the Hover.

Our specialists have extensive experience in repairing steering mechanisms for a wide variety of cars, so you can always trust their professional opinion!

Nu here. For a long time I was tormented by vague doubts about the steering rack from the hover of all. And then I met one owner of the hover, whose rail leaked and he took a rail from the office for a while (from a friend). Hover. The only difference, that is, two differences are not significant. The first is that the steering wheel spins harder on the Hover rail than on ours. we have an internal thread for 14. Although, they say, they fit with the steering tips normally. Well, the third difference, the most sensational, is the price of the original ofb 60t.r.and the price from the hover is 9500t.r. The rail number is 3411110-K00 Suitable only from the first hover. From H3-H5 is no longer suitable. Everything is done differently there. Well, as I understand it, the angular gearbox is also suitable from the hover. This is I’m going to buy such a rail for myself. I’ll post a photo report later. If it passes tysh 30, and figs with it. It’s even cheaper than restoring the old one.

Communicating with Hover Parts is like playing Russian Roulette with one empty chamber in the drum!

It will be interesting to know))

Of course it's interesting, but of all the Hover parts that I installed, only the brake flaps work.

This is tantamount to a restored rail. It is interesting to read the review of who drove 50t.km on the restored rail.

Buy it, put it on and then tell us how all the pipes fit and how it works.

Someone should always be the first.

In any case, according to the Hoover rails, I did not hear any particular complaints about fragility or unreliability from my neighbor.

Although 90% of his fresh Hoover come for repair.

The question is - why did the Chinese abandon the copied Isuzu Reiki?

Do gasoline and diesel have the same rails?

This is tantamount to a restored rail. It is interesting to read the review of who drove 50t.km on the restored rail.

It is necessary to ask comrade Paul-B, he bought a restored rail from America.

From americosia it will come out under 30-ku with rake delivery.

This is tantamount to a restored rail. It is interesting to read the review of who drove 50t.km on the restored rail.

And if you take the rail from Hover, then it is probably better to use it, tk. new spare parts that they sell are rare shit!

From americosia it will come out under 30-ku with rake delivery.

Why, 200 bucks rake, and delivery.

Buy it, put it on and then tell us how all the pipes fit and how it works.

The question is - why did the Chinese abandon the copied Isuzu Reiki?

They stopped copying, because this steering shaft gimbal was not a reliable unit. They abandoned it and redid the design already with H3. There is a diagram in the internet, everything has already been done in a simple way, without any angle gearboxes and other rubbish. Maybe on ours try to do this and put a rail from the hover H3. no. Maybe some thread knots will interfere.

Maybe on ours, try to do this and put a rail from the H3 hover. This is a special need for hovers, so that he can see if it will be possible to do this on our machine or not. Maybe some thread will interfere with the nodes.

There the fasteners are completely different.This is the entire cross-member of the OFB to remove and reshape

And if you take the rail from Hover, then it is probably better to use it, tk. new spare parts that they sell are rare shit!

Yes, no one argues. This is an option of how to interrupt, save up finances for a new rail, or simply change before the sale, who likes what. It's clear that the stump is that you won't drive 100t.km on it.

And what has been redone there, the bevel gear is in place, the lower cardan is just different, but is everything the same?

There the fasteners are completely different. This is the entire cross-member of the OFB to remove and reshape

Well, it’s not the fate of Reik, then figs with him, but why was the office removed from production at all? Not for nothing, the Germans also squealed and spattered saliva.

I can imagine what the frontera would be like now if it was still produced, such as the X6.

Forget about the release of the OFB. Then there was 1998 - a crisis.

GM entered our market at first in Blazer, which was a single-cashier and was going to Yelabuga.

The time of frame SUVs is over. Other consumers, other needs. Frame SUV is a narrow, narrow niche.

Nobody really needs them anymore. Archaic suspension, poor handling, etc. Atmospheric motors are a thing of the past. Around the turbines.

And manufacturers do not need a huge resource of nodes.

Yes, and the consumer wants something else, spoiled

I can imagine what the frontera would be like now if it was still produced, such as the X6.

No, the OFB was done smartly. Even after 15 years, it looks fashionable.

Many owners have a question how to remove the backlash of the 2007 Great Hover steering wheel. (diesel)? This effect is due to a malfunction in the steering. As you know, this node is not only an integral part of the vehicle, but also one of the frontiers of traffic safety. So, in the event of the slightest malfunctions, it is necessary to eliminate them.

How to remove the backlash of the steering wheel in 2007 Great Hover (diesel)? It is assumed that there is a standard steering clearance that is required for correct operation of the steering rack. But how can you determine that the steering wheel play is higher than normal? The standard clearance should be 5 degrees for all 360 degrees of rotation.

To measure, you need a ruler. It rests against the dashboard with one end, and with the other it comes into contact with the steering wheel circumference. In this case, the wheels must stand exactly straight. The steering wheel turns until the wheels start turning. From the center mark to the wheel turning mark, there will be a backlash, which must be calculated in degrees. If it is more than 5 degrees, then it is worth looking for faults.

On Great Hover 2007 there may be a backlash in the steering mechanism for the following reasons:

Loose steering column mountings.
Crosspiece wear.
Failure of steering rods.
Steering rack wear and tear.

All these reasons can be the reasons for the appearance of a backlash in the steering mechanism.

To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive diagnostics. So, to determine which particular element is out of order, it is necessary to diagnose the elements in stages.

If everything worked out, then you need to reinstall the steering rack and test it for performance. In some cases, it may be necessary to make wheel alignment, but as practice shows, for any manipulations associated with steering, this procedure is done.

Experts and auto repairmen recommend that if a backlash in the steering mechanism occurs, it is necessary to contact a car service as soon as possible, where they will quickly find the cause and be able to eliminate it efficiently. Of course, this procedure is not cheap, and sometimes it turns out that the cost can reach several tens of thousands of rubles, but you cannot play and delay, because security is more expensive.

It is also worth noting that some motorists at car services are deceived by inventing malfunctions that do not exist. So, when arriving at a car service, it is necessary to monitor the work of the craftsmen, since this is in the interests of the owners themselves.

It is quite difficult to determine the malfunction of the steering mechanism, since certain knowledge is required in the design of the car and the system of operation. But with a strong desire, you can identify the failed elements, carry out diagnostics and repairs with your own hands.

Contacting a car service is an extreme case, since steering play most often occurs when the steering rods are malfunctioning. The signs of this breakdown are quite simple - the car starts to pull to one side. How to remove the backlash of the steering wheel in 2007 Great Hover (diesel) - the answer is received in this article. It is worth considering the fact that everything does not always end tragically, by replacing the steering rack. Often the reason lies in simple elements that fail more often than others.
