Steering column - the general information

The shaft the helmsman of a column is made of steel. For the purpose of providing safety requirements the shaft of a column is divided into two sections: top (actually shaft of a steering column) and lower (cardan intermediate shaft).

Forks with the cardan hinges installed in them are attached to both ends of an intermediate shaft. Holders of hinges are executed cutting and inside are supplied with shlitsevy connection.

The holder of the top cardan hinge is fixed on the lower shlitsevy connection of a shaft of a steering column. The holder of an intermediate shaft is fixed on shlitsevy connection of a shaft of the drive of the steering mechanism. Each of holders is pulled together with M8x30 bolt.

The helmsman of a column passes a shaft through an opening in a partition. Sealing is carried out by means of the rubber plug through passage.

The top shaft of a column in the lower part comes to an end with the cardan hinge, and top - vents and a carving of M14x1.5. on the top pin of a shaft the steering wheel which then fastens a nut is put. Besides a wheel in the top part of a shaft also assembly of understeering switches is established.

The arm with longitudinal cuts through which there pass two bolts of M8x22 by means of which the pipe fastens to a board in a forward part of a body is welded on the lower part of a tubular casing. Approximately in the middle the pipe is clamped by a collar which fastens to a partition of a motive compartment by means of two bolts of M8x35.

In a tubular casing of a shaft of a steering column two PLC 03-33 bearings in which the shaft of a steering column rotates are installed. Bearings are filled by lubricant industrially and sealed, and therefore, do not need additional service.

On a tubular casing the arm in which the lock of ignition/blocking of a wheel is put is established. The crossbar of the lock enters the groove which is cut through in a casing pipe. The holder of an arm is clamped on a pipe by means of special bolts with srezny heads (for the purpose of prevention of unauthorized shutdown of blocking).

The steering wheel fastens on a shaft by means of a nut of M14x1.5.

Capital repairs

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Remove a steering column (see the Section Removal and installation of a steering column). Insert a key into the lock of ignition and turn it in situation 0.
2. Mark with paint or a marker the provision of a shaft of a column of rather top cardan hinge of an intermediate shaft.

3. Turn out a coupling bolt and separate an intermediate shaft from a column.

4. Remembering the adjusting provision of components, remove a spring, then remote and ring plugs from the column basis. Take a column shaft from the directing pipe up. Remove the lower basic plug.
5. At the corresponding complete set removal from the top end of a shaft of a column of a transitional nozzle of a steering wheel will require a stripper.
6. Remove a lock ring from the top end of a shaft of a column, then remove a ring pro-rate and the top basic plug.
7. Check a condition of components, defective replace.
8. At assembly, having installed ring and basic plugs on the top end of a shaft, at once fix them a lock ring. Track correctness of landing of a ring in the flute. At the corresponding complete set put a transitional nozzle of a steering wheel on a shaft.
9. Install in the top basic plug directing a pipe, then accurately fill in it assembly of a shaft. Put on ring and remote plugs and a spring the lower end of a shaft.
10. Achieve combination of the tags put in the course of dismantle, then connect an intermediate shaft to assembly. Track correctness of landing of a shaft in column vents, then tighten a coupling bolt with the required effort.
11. Check serviceability of functioning of a column, then install it on the car (see the Section Removal and installation of a steering column).
