1. Steering rack transfer is among very reliable knots of the car. Fail-safety of operation of the mechanism depends qualities of lubricant of internal components, conditions of protective covers, serviceability of balancing of wheel assemblies, and also sizes of a side play of the steering drive.
2. Distinctive feature of the steering mechanism of rack type is that any vibration and breakthroughs connected with violation of balancing of wheels, roughnesses of a paving and weakening of a pretightness of wheel bearings are inevitably transferred directly to a steering wheel.
3. For the purpose of performance of capital repairs assembly of the steering mechanism needs to be removed from the car.
4. After dismantle of assembly replacement or adjustment of level of oil in it can be easily made. Oil merges in way of removal of rubber protective covers from case flanges for what it is necessary to remove fixing collars previously.
5. Having fixed a bigger rubber cover, establish a case of the steering mechanism vertically and fill in in it necessary amount of oil of the required grade through an end face which shorter cover is put on. Establish the second cover on a case and fix it by a collar. Transfer a case to horizontal position and check it for existence of signs of leaks from under protective covers. In case of need tighten collars.
6. When replacing rubber protective covers it is necessary to turn off tips of steering drafts and to merge oil from a case. Now covers can be removed and replaced by new. Then fill in fresh oil in a case, fix collars and establish into place tips of drafts.
7. Dismantling of the steering mechanism for the purpose of performance of recovery repair or replacement of the failed internal components is made as follows:

a) Remove collars of fastening of rubber covers;
b) Unbend edges of covers and merge oil from a case in pure capacity;
c) Shift covers towards tips of steering drafts;
d) Unbend tags of flat lock washers, kontryashchy nuts on the ends of a gear lath;
e) By means of the screw-driver unbend deepening on the edge of the transitional plug in a lath flute;
f) Give nuts and disconnect from a draft lath;
g) Turn out two bolts of fastening of a side cover to a case, take a spring, a cracker and a rubber sealing ring;
h) Take from a case a shaft of the drive of the steering mechanism with the top bearing (clamp a shaft in a vice with soft sponges and pull for a case; in case of need use the hammer with soft brisk);
i) By means of a stripper remove the bearing from a shaft;
j) Take a gear lath from a case of the steering mechanism;
k) By means of the special tool take the lower bearing from a case.

8. After replacement of faulty components collect the mechanism:

a) Install the lower bearing of a shaft in a case;
b) Oil a lath gearbox and fill it in a case of the steering mechanism with the smooth party to a side opening;
c) Fill in a case a shaft with the top bearing installed on it and put assembly by blows of the hammer so that the lower bearing also appeared on a shaft (track that the top bearing had no course towards shaft teeths);
d) Grease edges of an opening from which the shaft acts as a small amount of gearbox oil, lay sealing laying of the top cover on the interfaced surface;
e) Measure distance between an external holder of the bearing and the top surface of laying;
f) Pick up adjusting washers so that their thickness corresponded to the measured distance, plus 0.1 mm (washers are issued 0.1 and 0.2 mm thick);
g) Establish washers (at first adjusting, then usual), grease a cover with a small amount of gearbox oil, establish it on assembly and attract fixing bolts (a carving of bolts previously grease with sealant);
h) Tighten bolts with the required effort (7 Nanometers);
i) Check freedom of rotation of a shaft, estimate the size of a side play of components of assembly;
j) Oil gearbox an internal surface of a side opening in a case of the steering mechanism;
k) Fill a cracker of a gear lath, a rubber sealing ring and a spring in an opening;
l) Oil gearbox the interfaced surfaces of an opening and a cover;
m) Establish a sealing washer and tighten two fixing bolts with the required effort (7 Nanometers);
n) Estimate mechanism side play size, in case of need make the corresponding adjustment;
o) Screw new transitional plugs on both ends of a lath and tighten them with the required effort (50 ÷ 60 Nanometers). For tightening of plugs screw lock-nuts and special nuts. Clamp one couple of nuts in a vice, tighten the second with the required effort and a zastoporta a lock-nut. Now clamp in a vice already tightened nut (together with kontryashchy) and repeat the procedure with the opposite plug;
p) Zastoporte of the plug, развальцевав their edges in flutes on a lath;
q) Insert in each of plugs on a plate;
r) Screw on steering draft a special nut a flat surface to a draft tip;
s) Grease a draft tip;
t) Install a lock washer on the reducing plug;
u) Screw the special nut which is put on steering draft on a carving of the reducing plug. Tighten a nut so that the deviation of draft required effort in 12.5 ÷ 20.5 Nanometers. Tighten a lock-nut with effort of 50 ÷ 60 Nanometers and block it a lock washer, I will unbend a tag of the nut, last on vents, and a lock-nut;
v) Working in a similar manner, fix opposite draft;
w) Establish protective covers on drafts and fix them by collars;
x) Pull longer cover on a flange of a case and fix it by a collar;
y) Fill in fresh oil in a case, then install assembly on the car.

1. Install rubber pillows of support on the steering mechanism, having developed them the flat party down. At installation it is necessary to observe the sizes given on an illustration.
