You will need:

Steering rack repair kit
Litol (grease the balls of the steering rods under the anthers and the universal joint shaft of the steering wheel)
Keys
Gas-burner

1. Remove the wheels, unscrew the steering tips (you do not need to knock them out of the steering knuckle, since the steering rods are spinning when the anther clamps are removed).
2. Remove the air duct to the filter (2 bolts to 10), the left branch pipe to the radiator, the propeller (4 nuts to 10), the plastic protection of the radiator (between the radiator and the engine, 2 bolts to 10).
3. Remove the rubber hose from the top of the rail, unscrew the metal tube from the crossbeam (bolt 12).
4. Unscrew the locking bolt 12 from the steering wheel gimbal to the rack (there are two gimbals, it is easier to remove the lower one, directly from the rack) and spill the gimbal with a VDshka. We lift the car on a lift.
5. Unscrew 4 bolts (like 17, on the left with nuts, on the right without) - fastening the rail.
6. Unscrew the left front axle mounting bracket. Only 5 bolts for 17 or 19. We leave the bracket hanging on the axle shaft - it will not hurt. See photo 01.
7. Unscrew the incoming and outgoing pipes from the power steering from the rail.It was easier for us to do this from the bottom left wheel. See photo 01.

Repair of the Mitsubishi Space Star steering rack should begin with diagnosing this device, because having found out the cause of the malfunction, you will greatly facilitate your work.

The main problems with the steering rack of this brand are:

• knocking that appeared under the suspension or steering wheel;
• reducing the amount of fluid in the power steering;
• there was a play in the steering wheel;
• difficult turns of the steering wheel.

Repair of the steering rack is recommended to be performed on professional equipment, which accurately diagnoses the problem, because you yourself can underpress the mount, which can end badly.

The repair is carried out in several steps. First, you need to disassemble the steering rack and clean its parts from contamination, then parts that cannot be restored are changed. At the very end, anthers and oil seals are subject to replacement, after which the steering rack is ready and should be assembled.

It is advisable to perform repair and replacement of the Mitsubishi Space Star power steering, guided by the vehicle operating instructions.

Before starting the repair, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the engine compartment of dirt so that it does not end up in spare parts at the time of dismantling. Then you need to pump out the fluid from the tank, unscrew the fastening bolts of the elastic coupling and move it from the distribution shaft to the steering. Place the vehicle on a jack, then remove the left wheel and drain off the residual fluid. While holding the power steering, unscrew the last bolt and install it in the opposite sequence.

I fix the jambs of locksmiths who put plastic ties for all clients. with them, the anthers go along with the traction, dressing and removing from the rail I put on the screw collars. because others do not wear.

I don’t know the whole process is going on in the workshop with the door closed. they invite only when the rake is dismantled to show what's wrong with it.

The author I'm sorry, but your topic can be deleted. on this I duplicated it in a personal.

Good evening.
Plastic clamps cannot be used. There is a high probability of breakage of the screed due to temperature conditions, the boot flies, the shaft is damaged. At one time we tried different ones, came to the specials. metal clamps with double clamp. Installation requires special tools. Such clamps are very reliable, we constantly use them in our work. Similar ones come in Lemforder boot kits. Plastic screeds can be used as a temporary solution. Screw clamps are not the best solution because tightening is adjusted by hand, "by eye". There is a high probability, when tightening, to tear the boot, where over time there will be a breakthrough. Understatement is also bad. We don't use them.

1. Plastic clamps must not be installed on the boot.
2. The shaft could be without working out, but CURVE. This might not have been noticed. The shaft could have already been ground with a violation of the diameter, from here flow through constantly at the same time.
3. Poor-quality Chinese oil seals could be used, which are enough for 5-15 thousand run.
4. Why are there several reasons now: 1. the rail is overtightened, you need to check and loosen it if necessary (most likely) 2. a “tight” bushing is installed, clamping the shaft (it is also quite possible) 3. a standard bushing is installed, a new shaft with a larger diameter (if Chinese) 4.Defective booster pump, the impeller of which is very sensitive to oil starvation. In this case, at idle, the steering wheel should rotate with effort. If the force appears after revolutions, a pump malfunction is also possible, this effect is called the cavitation effect and can manifest itself at high speeds. A competent diagnosis is needed here. Check the rack and rack bushing for now.

Here, on a note, I found an excerpt from an article about the problem of plastic clamps:

Replacement of the Mitsubishi Space Star steering rack is done if the rack is no longer subject to repair or as a result of mechanical damage to the rack. Together with the replacement of the Mitsubishi Space Star steering rack, we recommend that you immediately replace the steering rods and tips.

To determine the need to repair or replace the Mitsubishi Space Star steering rack, you can use a free diagnostics in our car services. Usually, if the rail leaks, then repair is possible in 90% of cases. If there is a knock in the rail, then the repair can cost more than replacing it with a new or refurbished steering rack.

After replacing the steering rack of the Mitsubishi Space Star, it is imperative to replace the fluid in the power steering, as well as to make the wheel alignment.

We strongly recommend checking the operation of the power steering pump. Often, the culprit for the failure of the rail is the power steering pump. When the valve sinks, excessive pressure is created in the rail and the oil seals begin to flow. You can replace the rack with a new one and after a month, if the power steering pump is faulty, the new rack will also fail.

If the power steering tank is empty, and you do not know what to fill in there, we do not recommend moving on our own or pouring any liquid there. Better to use the tow truck service.

Steering racks of Mitsubishi meet the high standards of Japanese manufacturers. During operation, only a slight backlash appears in them, and they walk with dignity until the first replacement of the steering rods. However, after replacing the steering rods, Mitsubishi steering racks do not work for a long time. They die from corrosion.

Why is the replacement of rods so fatal to the resource steering rack Mitsubishi?

The fact is that the most popular and inexpensive non-original steering rods for Lancer are manufactured by CTR. This company produces fairly high-quality spare parts. But in the case of the Lancer, the CTR tie rods have a smaller diameter in the places where the anthers are attached and the standard clamps do not squeeze the boot tight enough. Non-professional craftsmen do not pay attention to this. In the meantime, moisture gets inside the rail.

The appearance of moisture under the anthers of the rail inevitably leads to corrosion of the moving polished parts of the shaft-rail and failure of the oil seals rubbing against them. The shaft-rack must be absolutely smooth in the places where it comes into contact with the oil seals! Unfortunately, Mitsubishi Lancer rack shafts are not very corrosion resistant. For six months driving with water in the anthers, corrosion completely eats up the Lancer shaft-rail, after which it has to be replaced with a new one.

Gidrolab has both new and remanufactured rack shafts for Mitsubishi steering racks.

Hi all!
This report was created in the topic Rake flowed by our teammate alexandr86, I did not delete his posts, but just copied everything into a new topic.
Everything is copied in its original form.
Great respect to Alexander for the work done.

Regarding the photo report, I will try, but just how to collect it) At first, the right boot broke, judging by the traces, it flowed out in order, and when the lubricant began to be disassembled, it turned out nowhere, everything was washed out by the hydraulic fluid. When I pulled out the rod and I don't know what the distributor (which distributes the hydraulic fluid in the cylinder) is called correctly, I broke my head how to change the plastic rings. only when the repair kit came it turned out that they were not plastic but made of dense rubber like (much more elastic).

The bearing that sits on the hundred side of the steering column mounting:

There is one more nuance when pulling out the oil seal: The oil seal does not rest against the cylinder body, but against the washer, it is designed to pull the oil seal out with a special tool (there is a video in YouTube video called “Steering racks Repair of steering racks in Kiev”) without it, just a screwdriver, the washer remains inside.
The fluid for the power steering took such an advertisement, of course, everywhere I have such oil washes well, only expensive.

I also ask you to transfer a small final addition to the main one.
Yesterday I assembled the rail almost to the end, it remains to put on the tips (when dismantling in the direction of the machine, by the way, you need to remove the left tip in order to pull out the rail). In general, I collected the entire photo report in one folder, and there is also a little video there is a link below:

Morning always comes after the night

Please do not be offended, I do not advise in a personal.

Compact minivan MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR - comfortable, reliable and high quality car.

Are you interested in Mitsubishi Space Star steering rack repair?

However, normal wear and tear, negative components of weather and road conditions and careless operation do their job. One of the main units responsible for handling, maneuverability and safety while driving may fail. This is the steering rack.

Also, the rail can suffer from the use of low-quality consumables, foreign particles, dirt or dust getting into the oil, untimely replacement of the working fluid and filters.

To avoid accidents and to keep the steering rack of Mitsubishi Space Star in working condition for a long time, experts recommend passing diagnostics in a timely manner at the REMSTAR service center.

Here, experienced craftsmen will check the unit for external damage and hydraulic fluid leaks, and then test it on a specialized stand.

The process of repairing the steering rack of MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR cars with engine displacement 1.6 and 1.8 includes several operations:

- rinsing, cleaning, drying of all parts of the rack,

- replacement of worn parts, such as various seals, including rings, gaskets, anthers, oil seals, bushings, bearings, etc.,

- assessment of the technical condition of the rack shaft (assessment of curvature, beating, damage, corrosion),

- shaft restoration by turning and grinding,

- coating the shaft and other corroded parts with an anticorrosive compound,

- replacement of hydraulic fluid (if necessary),

- assembly, adjustment, final tests.

Thus, "REMSTAR" carries out a full range of work on the repair of the steering rack MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR and gives a guarantee for all work performed.

Do you hear an unpleasant knock at the front of the car when driving over small potholes? Do the beats go to the steering wheel and increase in amplitude over time? These are clear signs that an urgent need to pay attention to the condition of the steering rack.

Also, one of the signs of its malfunction is that large potholes of the car pass almost silently, but small shagreen - on the contrary. In this case, it is not at all necessary to sign up in the queue at the service station.

Initial diagnostics of serviceability, as well as adjusting the steering rack on a Mitsubishi Lancer with your own hands, is quite easy. Is it possible to repair or replace, and what is the reason for this malfunction, let's try to figure it out.

The reliability of the steering mechanism in Japanese cars is designed for 150-200 thousand km. But these are only approximate indicators that can change in one direction or another.

The steering gear fails for the following reasons:

• high travel speed on uneven roads;
• failure to inspect the rubber anthers of the steering rack leads to the ingress of small particles, with the subsequent destruction of the rubbing elements;
• replacement of the hydraulic fluid, which is carried out from time to time or a poor-quality mixture is used.

You should also pay attention to the above reasons leading to premature repairs because the steering rack is a very expensive part in Japanese cars. Replacing with a used part is a temporary solution to the problem, it costs a little less to restore it, but it is also quite costly. When driving on uneven roads, the seals, rod and slider are depleted.

In order to accurately determine the cause, you need to contact a specialist and check the condition of the steering tips and rods. It is difficult to do this without a special tool and relevant experience. Steering elements (tie rod ends) also become a frequent cause of knocking when driving through shallow holes.

You can check the condition of the ball joints yourself; for this, jack up the left and right front wheel alternately and stagger, holding it with both hands. If no knocking is heard, then everything is in order.

Adjustment of the Lancer steering rack is carried out in order not to aggravate the situation, which may result in the replacement of seals and even overhaul of the entire unit. In this case, it is cheaper to prevent the problem than to eliminate its consequences.

The steering rack of the Mitsubishi Lancer is tightened with an adjusting bolt that holds the bearing. During the operation of the vehicle, the bearing is weakened and needs to be tightened.

Adjustment procedure:

1. Position the vehicle in a pit and block the front wheels with wheel chocks.
2. Set the steering wheel straight.
3. Remove dust and dirt from the place where the adjusting screw is attached to the steering rack (located at the bottom).
4. Use a white marker to draw a vertical line along the factory locknut and adjusting screw.
5. Using a non-sharp chisel and hammer, loosen the lock nut with gentle counterclockwise blows.
6. While holding the lock nut with a 41 mm wrench, insert the hexagon into the adjusting screw and tighten (clockwise) until the torque wrench reads 23 N / m, and then loosen the screw 30 degrees.
7. Make sure, by easily turning the steering wheel 15-20 degrees, that no knocking is heard.
8. If the knock remains, reduce the screw looseness to 20 degrees, to achieve the disappearance of extraneous sounds.
9. Start the engine and turn it to the extreme positions until it stops, thus checking whether the rail is biting.
10. Tighten the lock nut, making sure that the adjusting screw remains stationary (refer to the vertical marks left during disassembly).

It is important to make this adjustment so as not to overtighten the adjusting screw. The steering wheel will stop beating, but the effort required to turn the steering wheel will increase significantly. In this case, it is not worth relying on the fact that the problem will disappear and that over time it will become easier to turn. The screw must be loosened urgently.

You need to be prepared for the fact that it will be difficult to carry out the adjustment due to the limited space and the lack of a special tool. In the first case, it is better to remove the steering rack together with the subframe, although you can not resort to this, and in the second, to make a device from a 17 mm bolt 10-15 cm long, turning the required screw, after having previously processed the head with an angle machine to the same shape, as with the adjusting screw.

In order not to look for information on how to tighten the steering rack on the Lancer, use these simple tips: watch out for rubber boots. For long-term operation, after washing the car, treat them with a protective silicone spray. If cracks appear on the protective products, immediately replace them with a mandatory change of grease.

Do not hold the steering wheel in the extreme positions for more than 5 seconds. This puts additional stress on the power steering. In winter, when driving (especially on an unheated car), smoothly turn the steering wheel, while avoiding driving in extreme positions.
