Golf Steering Wheel Repair 3 Practical Video
On our not-so-new Volkswagen Golf, the steering rack was completely useless. The problem has been visible for a long time and now is the time to fix it. We carry out the chimney log with our own hands, almost at home. Now directly on the steering gear. at the bottom, almost above the pedals, we separate the steering shaft mounts in order to unscrew them, sometimes it is necessary to remove the boot in the inner part.
The next step should be to remove the fluid, for this you need to remove the roof from the hydraulic fluid reservoir. From below under the car, we disconnect the hose leading to the power steering pump, and we drain the fluid from the system. We raise the car jack and place it on the pillows so you can remove the wheels. After removing the wheels, unscrew the nuts of the guide tips, the key to the tips is removed either using a special puller, or with hammer blows on the steering knuckle,
You must be careful not to damage the thread and anthers on the guides. You can now unscrew the fender attachment to the steering rack by holding the three bolts. The front can be unscrewed from below with a wrench or propeller shaft from above and the other two at the back. Raise the subframe slightly with the connector and remove the steering column mounting bolts. Do not try to remove the bolts from the subframe. You can now detach the passenger side bracket that secures the steering rack.
The top boot must be removed. steering rackso as not to break it when we lower the stretcher. Then loosen the subframe bolts at the front and rear. Make sure all items attached to the rail are disconnected. Now, finally, unscrew the previously loosened bolts, you need to remember them how. Lower the subframe slightly, about 5 centimeters, to remove the rail.

This step should be done with extreme caution. Unscrew the bolt and pull the gimbal out of the tie rod, it is now easy to remove the rail. The last operation of dismantling the rail. take it off subframe bolts, from the driver's side remove from the rear beam. Replace the unsuccessful old steering rack with a new one. You can use zip ties to secure the air tube between the anthers. After installing the new rail, immediately install the gimbal, we put on the groove and tighten the bolt.
Raising the steering rack a little, connect the propeller shaft of the mount and the steering shaft in the cab, we put on the boot. We connect the inlet hoses and hydraulics on site. Now, from the salon, we guide the rail to the fastening bolts on the stretcher, we fix it with a pre-installed rubber band under it.
I have not yet risen, but in the tyrante they write everywhere that you need to shoot.
Symptoms: knocks in the steering rack, manifested when driving through small irregularities (disease of all korollopodobnye with electric power steering). Diagnosis of servicemen - replacing the rail (in practice, it does not help out for long and costs a lot). Solution: replacing anything in the rail that can knock. And there are only two places knocking in such rails - the adjusting unit and in the area of the bushing located at the opposite end of the rail (in the case of right-hand drive cars - the left side of the rail). And since nothing needs to be changed in the adjusting unit, all repairs are reduced to replacing the factory bushing with a custom-made one.
Patients: Will VS 2002 1.5 L (electric power steering!)
We climb into the pedal assembly and remove the protection from the steering shaft, unscrew it by hand, and remove it easily:
We completely unscrew the bolt securing the intermediate shaft to the crosspiece:
IMPORTANT! Put the wheels straight, remove the key from the ignition, lock the steering wheel. This is done in order to prevent, after removing the rack, turning the steering wheel by a number of revolutions more than it should be. Otherwise, a break in the wires of the "snail" of the airbag and the resulting malfunction of the latter are inevitable.
We hang out in front of the car and throw off the wheels (front enough).
Next is the removal of the steering rack. It has been proven from our own experience that it is possible to unscrew the rail fasteners without additional disassembly, but pulling out the rail is very time consuming. Do not waste time, twist the stretcher - you will save a lot of time and effort.
But first - the steering tips: take out the cotter pin, unscrew the nut, hit the place indicated below with a sharp, biting hammer blow, and the finger falls out by itself (we do it with both sides
We unscrew the subframe, 4 bolts to the body, 3 bolts in the area of the rear engine mount and 3 nuts in the same place.
After that, the subframe, together with the rack, gently (if you planned to unscrew the last bolt correctly) lowers and hangs on the levers and the anti-roll bar. Everything - the rail at a glance: unscrew:
We remove and carry to the workbench
Let's start disassembling it: 1) Remove the rubber boot.
2) Take the 12 key and unscrew the bolt shown in the photo.
3) Remove the intermediate shaft.
4) Unscrew the lock nut (used a gas wrench)
5) Unscrew the clamping cup of the rack shaft.
6) Then we put on and fix the intermediate shaft again, then take out the entire shaft with the bearing with a light blow with a copper hammer on it.
7) Turning the rail over, disassemble the adjusting unit: unscrew the lock nut with a 41 key
8) Then we unscrew the adjusting cup using any flat object, take out the spring and the pressure piston.
9) Remove the left anther, very carefully so as not to break (we draw inside around the circumference of the anther with a non-sharp object)
10) Unscrew the left rod from the rail using keys 29 and 22.
11) On the back side, we loosen the large clamp and detach the boot.
12) Take the rolling pin out of the rail, put it aside.
13) We look at the rail from the left end - we see an aluminum hold-down washer, behind it is the notorious bushing.
14) We hook the washer with a hook and knock it out, then take out the sleeve.
Here it is - the sleeve, because of which all the ailments. )
For left hand drive
Modifying a pre-made PTFE bushing according to the attached drawing.
15) On the new sleeve, we make a longitudinal cut necessary for its compression and setting in place. We orient the cut in the direction of the car's movement - in this direction the rail experiences the least stress.
16) Lubricate the sleeve and gently straighten the sleeve, check the fit of the sleeve with the free end of the rolling pin.
17) Press in the aluminum washer with a suitable head. Insert the rolling pin into place. We insert the shaft into place, for this, with a 22 key, we swing the rolling pin around its axis and at the same time push the shaft - at a certain moment the gears are aligned and the shaft falls through. We tighten the clamping sleeve of the shaft until it stops, we counter it with a lock nut. We assemble the adjusting unit, tighten the adjusting cup until it stops and release it by 90 degrees, counter nut with a counter nut. Subsequently, the tightening torque can be adjusted on the machine after a test drive with a certain skill, the mechanism must be tightened until the steering wheel returns to the straight position when exiting the turn. Pull into place, anthers into place, tighten. Rail for stretcher, stretcher for cars. Near the rear (in relation to the rear of the car) fastenings of the subframe to the body there are holes on the body and on the subframe, the combination of which excludes the removal of the caster. (holes in the photo)
Tips to the levers, set the wheels straight, the steering wheel is straight from the very beginning. We pull everything in and climb into the salon. There we loosen the upper crosspiece, move the shaft between the crosspieces up and put the lower crosspiece on the intermediate shaft. We are tightening everything.Subsequently, you can similarly align the steering wheel if, when driving straight, the steering wheel looks slightly to the side.
It's just that when I was sorting out the rail, the verdict was announced that the current is coming to a kicker with one thrust, and when I went to make a descent, I was told that the full kicker had already arrived, and the knock strains me and the topic of the starter reassured me with a decision))). Yes, and I try not to screw up the typewriter))))
Comrades, advice is needed - a strange, quiet knock “knock-knock” “knock-knock” knock appeared in front. the car is coasting at low speed, the steering wheel is left and right, the car sways a little and “he” appears that this knock is both left and right. Quite recently, I replaced everything that was possible on the chassis, I began to sin on the steering rods. can they tap so quietly and unpleasantly?
and there was also a completely unpleasant "clatter" in the steering wheel itself, the feeling that this clatter was straight on the airbag, took off the pillow, removed all the levers of the wipers and turn signals, got to the bearing, which is rolled on the shaft, but everything seems to be holding on dead there. a plastic sleeve, which I changed below on the shaft. Kardanchik, which in the cabin can not so "blur". but the sound is right at the very top. already broke my head, what could it be

Obsk the stretcher beam Well, the first stage is over, it is more interesting further. Diagnosis of servicemen - replacing the rail in practice does not help out for long and costs a lot.

Car steering racks Steering Toyota Corolla How to repair the steering rack on your own Toyota Corolla photo report Full and detailed description of the rather complex process of repairing the steering rack with the creation of a new bushing
LABELS for search engines: TOYOTA COROLLA TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING RACK REPAIR STEERING RACK E12 E12 Hello everyone again! So the promised photo report on the repair of the steering rack is ready. Let the “old-timers” forgive me for repetitions, but in the photo report I have collected all the information necessary to repair the rail, starting with the drawing of the bushing and ending with the final adjustment. All "landmarks" right-left, front-rear are given relative to the driver.
All photos, including the special keys and bushings, are posted in the photo gallery. If the “followers” have any questions, then before asking them, read the previous messages. Maybe there are already answers for example: We need a special key for disassembling and adjusting the steering rack. And the steering rack bushing, made according to this drawing or ordered by the forum member Makar: Dimensions 24.9 mm; 31.1 mm; 32 mm must be made with the maximum possible accuracy and minimum roughness.
Ideally, the marks from the turning tool should be virtually indistinguishable. I would like to draw your attention to the dimensions of the sleeve, namely the diameters of 24.9 mm and 31.1 mm. Moreover, the utility of decreasing the inside diameter and increasing the outside diameter by 0. Therefore, STRICTLY adhere to the dimensions of the bushing as shown in the drawing. Further, the bushing must be reworked: 6 longitudinal cuts are made on the bushing with a hacksaw for metal, with a depth of approx. Then, with a clerical knife, we expand the cuts and give them a wedge shape, see.
We make one cut over the entire length of the sleeve and expand it by approx. This cut, when installed in the rail, must be positioned at the top and make sure that it does not fill with grease. It should look something like this: Before starting work, be sure to disconnect the battery.The first step is to remove the steering shaft cardan, while remembering that the so-called “snail” SRS AIRBAG is installed in the steering column, designed for 5 full revolutions: If exceeded, it will break and the “SRS” light will turn on.
When installing, after setting the wheels straight ahead, “open” the ignition switch and turning the steering wheel now to the right into a straight position - I throw on the cardan.
I check the number of turns left and right, if necessary, rearrange the cardan. As a result, the steering bar in the extreme positions becomes vertical, I don’t remember the number of revolutions, I just set the symmetry, and accordingly, the turning radius to the right and left will be the same.
Also, do not forget to unfasten the boot latches, it will look something like this: When working, follow safety precautions. And it's better to work together. To remove the steering rack, do the following: Unpin the nuts securing the steering tips to the steering knuckle, and with a sharp hammer blow, disconnect the steering tip.
When working, observe safety precautions, in particular, when unscrewing the bolts in the movement "away from you", keep your palm open, in this case, if the key comes off, you will not bump your fingers, oh, how many of them were broken In red and yellow circles, those bolts which must be unscrewed on the dorestyle.
