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. yell and don't yell.
looking ahead, I’ll say that if the rail is dead, then it’s better to change it to ARI)))
Let's go.
A couple of years ago, I changed the original rail to not ori, due to the fact that the ori was spinning somehow tightly, there is something to compare with, there are 2 hovers in the family). (the pump was also thrown up and no difference)
Was bought on the Internet, not ori and successfully implemented)
She traveled with me safely for a year, and then it started 🙂 broke off the spool pin, through trial and error, cut it off a couple more times, the necessary metal was found and the pin was machined and the problem was eliminated.
rode another year and we flowed ...
Photo of 2 rails, as they say, find 10 differences)))):

Now let's talk about the original
The original is disassembled very simply, the bracket is picked up and unscrewed counterclockwise

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

Great Wall Hover is not an easy car. On the one hand, given the relative simplicity of its design, it is reliable enough to rely on it when going on an off-road trip - to the country 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 the Hover from its owner should be especially close.

The steering system is one of the most important in a car. So, going on a serious journey, do not forget to check the condition of its elements. Better yet, visit a car service, where it will be diagnosed by experienced specialists. So you can not only avoid unpleasant surprises on the road, but also, if faults are detected in their early stages, you can significantly save on repairs.

The main element of the Hover steering system is a traditional rack. Its purpose is to convert the rotation of the steering wheel into the turning movements of the front wheels of the car.

The design of this mechanism is as follows: by turning the steering wheel mounted on the shaft, the driver thereby sets in motion the guide gear fixed at the other end of the shaft. That, in turn, is connected by means of a gear 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 tips and those with 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 complete diagnosis of the control system. In most cases, the total backlash, called the total, consists of several small ones, which can be eliminated at the initial stage of their appearance by tightening the corresponding connections.

If the play is large and the parts between which it appeared are very 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 one watches the wheels turn and makes sure that it is not accompanied by extraneous sounds - a crunch and a rattle. The latter, most likely, will indicate deformation or breakage of the guide gear or the rack itself.

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

The main symptoms of a malfunction are:

knocking in the area of \u200b\u200bthe front axle of the car that occurs when the steering wheel is turned. It can be the same in different positions of the steering wheel, or it can decrease or even disappear 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 rail;
knocking sound that occurs when driving on rough roads. So often the backlash in the connection of the rack and pinion makes itself felt;
extraneous sounds that occur when turning the steering wheel may indicate a leak and ingress of sand or a foreign object into the guide mechanism;
excessive efforts when turning the steering wheel - this may indicate both a breakdown of the hydraulic booster system and deformation of the rack or guide gear;
lack of effort when turning the steering wheel is a rather rare symptom that speaks of several possible malfunctions at once, ranging from a breakdown of the rack itself to failure of the steering shaft cardan connection;
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 seals, or a break in the circuit through which the fluid circulates.

Theoretically, if one or another 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 it is not possible to replace a 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 the installation / dismantling of the control mechanism alone requires serious effort. Therefore, it is better to repair the Hover steering rack with proper quality the first time, rather than postponing the final solution to the problem until later.

Having established the cause of the malfunction, the master, before starting work, will tell the car owner about possible ways to solve 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 on which operation to perform is made by the owner of the Hover.

Our specialists have extensive experience in repairing steering mechanisms of a wide variety of vehicles, 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 everyone. And then I met one owner of the hover, whose rack flowed and he took the rail from the office for a while during disassembly (from a friend). hover. There is only one difference, that is, two differences are not significant. First, this is that the steering wheel turns harder on the hover rail than on ours. He liked it more with ours. we have 14 internal threads. Although they say they fit normally with steering tips. Well, the third difference, the most noisy, is the price of the original ofb 60t.r.and the price from hover 9500t.r. Rail number 3411110-K00 Suitable only from the first hover. From H3-H5 is no longer suitable. Everything is done differently there. I’m going to buy such a rail for myself. I’ll post a photo report later.

Dealing 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 put, only the brake pads work.

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

Buy it, install it, and then tell us how all the tubes fit and how it works.

Someone always has to be first.

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

Although 90% of his fresh Hoovers come in for repairs.

The question is why did the Chinese refuse the copied Isuzu rail?

Buy it, install it, and then tell us how all the tubes fit and how it works.

Do petrol and diesel engines have the same racks?

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

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

From americosia it will be under 30 with the delivery of the rake.

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

And if you take a rail from Hover, then it’s probably better used, because new parts that they sell, rare shit!

From americosia it will be under 30 with the delivery of the rake.

Why, 200 bucks rake, well, delivery.

Buy it, install it, and then tell us how all the tubes fit and how it works.

The question is why did the Chinese refuse the copied Isuzu rail?

They stopped copying, because this steering shaft cardan assembly was not reliable. They abandoned it and redid the design already from H3. There is a diagram on the Internet, everything is already done in a simple way, without any angular gears and other rubbish. Maybe on ours we can try to do this and put a rail from the H3 hover. No. Maybe some thread nodes will interfere.

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

There is a completely different mount. This is the entire cross-section of the OFB to remove and redraw

And if you take a rail from Hover, then it’s probably better used, because new parts that they sell, rare shit!

Yes, no one argues. This is an option for how to get by, save up finances for a new rail, or just change before selling, whoever likes what.

And what has been redone there, the angular gearbox is in place, the lower cardan is only different, but is everything the same?

There is a completely different mount. This is the entire cross-section of the OFB to remove and redraw

Well, it’s not the fate of Rake to know, then figs with him, but why was the office generally discontinued then? It’s not easy. Probably the Germans also squealed and spluttered

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

Yes, you forget about the release of the OFB. Then there was 1998 - the crisis.

GM first entered our market with a Blazer, which was a classmate and was assembled in Yelabuga.

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

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

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, OFB was done wisely. Even after 15 years, it looks fashionable. Not that they are sculpting it right now.

Many owners have a question, how to remove the backlash of the Great Hover 2007 steering wheel. (diesel)? This effect occurs due to a malfunction of 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, if the slightest malfunction occurs, it is necessary to eliminate them.

How to remove steering play Great Hover 2007 (diesel)? So it is believed that there is a standard clearance of the steering mechanism, which is necessary for the correct operation of the steering rack. But how to determine that the steering play is above normal? The standard clearance should be 5 degrees for all 360 degrees of rotation.

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

On the Great Hover 2007 onwards. Steering gear play may occur for the following reasons:

Loose steering column mounts.
Removal of the cross.
Failure of steering rods.
Development and wear of the steering rack.

All these reasons can cause steering play to appear.

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

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

Experts and car repairmen recommend that in the event of a backlash in the steering mechanism, 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 qualitatively. 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 can’t play and pull, because safety is more expensive.

It is also worth noting that some motorists at car services are deceived by inventing malfunctions that do not exist. So, upon arrival at a car service, it is necessary to control the work of the masters, 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 work. But with a strong desire, you can determine 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 fail. The signs of this breakdown are quite simple - the car starts to pull in one direction. How to remove steering play Great Hover 2007 (diesel) - the answer is obtained in this article. It is worth considering the fact that not always everything ends tragically, with the replacement of the steering rack. Often the reason lies in simple elements that fail more often than others.
