DIY Toyota Avensis 1998 steering rack repair

In detail: DIY repair of the steering rack Toyota Avensis 1998 from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

A routine inspection of the steering rack is the best way to keep it working and avoid costly repairs. Unfortunately, not all Toyota Avensis owners are aware of this or try not to forget to carry out regular diagnostics.

Possible malfunctions in the operation of the steering mechanism may be indicated by the following factors:

difficulties experienced while driving;
oil trail under the car;
noises accompanied by vibration;
stem corrosion;
the appearance of a slack backlash;
flow around the oil seals.

The need for repair can only be determined by a specialist and an experienced driver. As for the replacement, although this measure will lead to large expenses, it will allow you to forget about the steering rack for several years for sure. Why is it so? The fact is that the problems in the operation of the mechanism probably affected all the accompanying details. Repair will allow you to get rid of the problem for a while. In a few months, she will again declare herself and will demand new cash injections.

The price of repairs and replacement services may vary. In many services, the price of both types of work is at least 65 USD. Despite the perceived complexity, removal and subsequent installation can be done by the owner himself.

The tools are likely to be found on the shelves in the garage, and the necessary information, including important notes and recommendations, can be taken from this manual:

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 along 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.

The topic of repairing the steering rack is still relevant on our forum. So questions are poured into our "discoverers" Schnapps and Amigo33... And they, as far as possible, answer. Or give good links to resources where this topic is discussed in detail.
One of these resources is the service station "AUTOSTAR" from the city of Chita. And the author of this material is Sergey Kalashnikov. Thank God that there are still people ready to share their skills.

Steering racks Toyota Corolla How to repair the steering rack on your own Toyota Corolla photo report Full and detailed description of the rather complicated 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, it is useful to decrease the inner diameter and increase the outer diameter by 0. Therefore, STRICTLY adhere to the dimensions of the sleeve 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.

Repair cost with spare parts (rub.)

Is the steering rack making strange knocks and leaking? Do not rush to throw it away and put a new one. The lion's share of failed units of this kind are successfully repaired. In the event that the source of failure is wear in the gear-rack assembly, the Toyota Avensis steering rack can be repaired using an advanced technique, without having to replace this steering element.You can save about 50 - 100 US dollars in the cost of repair work if you decide not to replace, but to repair the gear shaft, which is the main part of the mechanism. The service life of the mechanism can be at least doubled if, during the repair, the strength of the rail is also increased using a special technique.

The sales strategy of the overwhelming majority of car manufacturers in the world is aimed at the same thing: it is necessary to stimulate car owners in various ways to change cars for new ones, on average, every 5-7 years. But are all of us capable of acquiring a new model so often? Most try to repair the car "to the last", especially important parts for safe driving, such as the steering rack. The currently existing repair technologies make it possible to restore the operability of almost every worn out steering mechanism. Are you under the impression that the hydraulic steering cannot be refurbished? Already looking for an ad “Selling Toyota Avensis Steering Rack” on the Internet? You are very wrong! Since the statement has nothing to do with reality, the European practice of restoring steering units, both mechanical and hydraulic, has existed for many years.

Steering racks are also being successfully restored in Russian service stations, taking into account the unsatisfactory condition of domestic highways. Only the repair of the Toyota Avensis steering rack should be trusted by professional specialists and do not carry out the work with your own hands if you doubt that you can do it on your own. Only about 5% of the steering racks end up back in the workshop during the warranty period, according to the statistics.

The swivel arms are connected to the steered wheels through the swivel pins.Repair of the Toyota Avensis steering rack is carried out only after an appropriate diagnosis has been carried out, which determines the parts to be replaced.

The most common breakage is a rack leak when power steering fluid leaks out of it. This malfunction can often be recognized visually, in cases where oil leaks from under a stationary vehicle. Driving with such a defect often becomes difficult due to the fact that the steering wheel has to be turned with additional effort.In technical centers, this malfunction is diagnosed at the stand, supplying liquid under high pressure (up to one hundred and sixty atmospheres) to the tested mechanism. Leaks are usually due to stem corrosion or defective seals. The repair in this case consists in replacing the bushings, O-rings, oil seals, rear seals and their seals. If the cause of the breakdown is shaft corrosion, it is ground or the mechanism is completely replaced.If the defect manifests itself in the form of a knock, which is given to the steering wheel, then this most likely means damage or wear to the rear covers and slide bushings. To eliminate this problem, the damaged parts are replaced, after which the rail is placed on the stand and adjusted.Diagnostics and repair of the structure are often carried out if there is a play in the steering wheel. The reason for this defect can be either a malfunction of the steering column cross or a breakage of the rack. In the latter case, complete disassembly of the rail and replacement of worn-out components of the unit are required. After the repair work, the mechanism is adjusted at the stand.In the technical centers of the JapAuto company, only high-quality spare parts and consumables are used to repair the Toyota Avensis steering rack.

The well thought-out design of all cars of this manufacturer allows you to reduce maintenance costs to the lowest possible level.But, unfortunately, even the most durable vehicle is subject to wear and tear or can get into an accident, after which it is necessary to repair the damaged units and individual parts.In case of improper operation of cars, the steering often suffers, which requires urgent intervention by a technician. One of the most important components of the steering is the steering rack, the failure of which makes the further operation of the car impossible.If you do not repair the Toyota steering rack in time, you can soon provoke a traffic accident, and this is no longer just a threat to human health, but also to his life.

Repair of the Toyota steering rack in this case requires the replacement of these parts, after which the rack is placed on the diagnostic stand for adjustment.As for the leakage of the hydraulic booster, then defective oil seals or stem corrosion are usually to blame. Therefore, the situation can be corrected only by replacing the bushings, rear seals and their seals, as well as oil seals and O-rings. If the reason for the rail malfunction is shaft corrosion, then it is polished, but when very noticeable damage appears, experts recommend replacing the rail completely.Often, a Toyota steering rack restoration is required when a steering wheel play occurs.

It should be noted that it is not always advisable to contact a service center. Often there they can only postpone a malfunction, while they will take a fairly substantial amount for services. Thus, it makes sense to repair the steering rack of the Toyota Corolla 120 with your own hands. We will talk about how this happens now.

It is possible to determine that it is necessary to repair the Fielder 2005 steering rack by the following characteristic features:

oil leaks;
extraneous sounds are heard from the power steering system;
during turns it is necessary to apply more forces;
the play of the steering wheel has increased.

In any of these cases, it is worthwhile to conduct a thorough diagnosis, and then start repairing the steering rack of the Toyota Corolla E120.

Video advice on adjusting the rack on the Toyota Avensis 250 body:

Most often, problems are manifested in the fact that the steering rack begins to knock. It is about this situation that we will talk about in the article. As a rule, the Toyota steering rack knocks in only two places: the adjusting unit, and also near the bushing, which is located on the side opposite to the driver's side (if the steering wheel is on the left, then the bushing is on the right).

If you do not know how to remove the steering rack on a Toyota Wish, then you need to start by removing the steering shaft protection. Here everything is unscrewed by hand. No special effort is required to remove.

The bolt, with the help of which the intermediate shaft is attached to the crosspiece, is completely unscrewed. It is important that the wheels are straight, the steering wheel is locked and there is no key in the ignition. Otherwise, the steering wheel will be able to turn after removing the rail, which will lead to a break in the airbag wiring.

Then the front of the car is hung out, the front wheels are removed. Next, we proceed to actually remove the rail. Pulling it out without first disassembling it is quite difficult, so first you should twist the steering tips and the subframe (it is attached with 4 bolts to the body, as well as 3 nuts and 3 bolts to the rear cushion). If done correctly, the subframe and rail will lower and hang from the arms. Now it will not be difficult to unscrew the faulty element itself.

When the unit is removed, we take it to the workbench and proceed to disassemble the element. To begin with, the rubber boot is dismantled. A key 12 will help to unscrew the bolt. After that, it is necessary to remove the intermediate shaft. The lock nut is unscrewed with a gas wrench. We unscrew and take out the pressure cup of the shaft, put on the intermediate shaft again. With a light blow with a copper hammer, the shaft is pulled out together with the bearing.

The rack turns, with a 41 key, the lock nut is unscrewed. Next, we proceed to dismantle the adjusting glass (for this we need any flat object). Then the spring with the pressure piston is removed.

Removing the left boot should be done as carefully as possible so that the element does not break (in no case should you use sharp objects). Then we proceed to unscrewing the left rod. On the reverse side, the clamp is loosened, the boot is dismantled. The rolling pin of the rail is removed, it is placed on the side.

From the side of the left end, we will see an aluminum pressure washer, behind which is a bushing that needs to be replaced. The washer is hooked, knocked out, after which access to the sleeve will be free.

The new sleeve can be made of fluoroplastic, while it is important to adhere to the original drawing as closely as possible. Then it is necessary to make a longitudinal cut on the element, without which the sleeve cannot be installed in the desired place. The part should be installed with the cut in the direction of travel of the machine in order to reduce the load on the element.

The bushing is lubricated and straightened out thoroughly. Using the free end of the rolling pin, we check the quality of the fit. Using an aluminum washer, we press everything in.

Then everything happens in the reverse order to the process of dismantling the steering rack.

If you want to learn more about how the Toyota Vitz steering rack is replaced, the video located on our website will help you with this.In it, in a few minutes, they explain in detail how to repair this unit with your own hands.

Thus, the steering rack is a very important element of the vehicle. In the event of a malfunction of the element, driving the car will be difficult and even somewhat unsafe. Thus, it is important to immediately start repairing the unit when it detects a malfunction.

It is not always necessary to contact the service center - as an option, you can do everything with your own hands... We have prepared for you detailed instructions that will help you disassemble the steering rack on Toyota. At the same time, if the necessary skills and tools are missing, it is better to entrust everything to the hands of professionals.
