How to maintain the steering gear? The structure of the steering booster is very complicated, and most people can't repair it. If the maintenance is in place at ordinary times, it is not easy to break down. You should always check the oil in the oil cup, not below the lower limit of the dipstick. If the booster leaks oil, the pressure pump may be scrapped. Second, change the oil regularly. Third, you can't kill the direction. Try not to hit the direction in the same place. So, what are the precautions for steering gear maintenance?
In use and daily maintenance, the following points should be noted to prolong the service life of the steering gear:
1. When driving on uneven roads, slow down to reduce the load borne by the steering gear.
2. Be sure to check the status of the protective sleeves on both sides of the steering gear and the protective sleeves connected with the universal joint cross shaft on the upper part of the steering gear. The damage of the sheath is the most important factor leading to the early wear and damage of the steering gear. After the sheath is damaged, water, dust and sand will enter the steering gear through the damaged part, destroying the grease film of the rack, resulting in internal corrosion and abnormal wear of the steering gear. If the water and sand in it are not disposed of immediately, the steering gear will be scrapped soon. Therefore, check the status of the dust jacket at least once a month. If the sheath is found to be damaged, it must be replaced immediately, and the steering gear should be thoroughly inspected and maintained before replacement.
3. After four-wheel alignment, toe-in adjustment and replacement of the steering tie rod, special attention should be paid to prevent the protective sleeve from being deformed and improperly assembled, otherwise it will damage the protective sleeve.
4, because the grease will gradually become dirty and deteriorate during use, the lubricating ability will decrease; At the same time, the wear-resistant materials will gradually increase, and the abrasive wear will become more and more serious, which will aggravate the wear of the steering gear. Every 6,543,800 kilometers, the steering gear should be fully maintained, cleaned and lubricated.
5. The steering gear is used in harsh conditions and heavy load, so special grease must be used, and ordinary grease can't meet the use requirements.
6. The clearance of the steering gear will gradually increase during use. If the left and right idle stroke of the steering wheel exceeds 15 degrees, the steering gear must be checked. If the rack is abnormally worn, the steering gear assembly must be replaced. If there is no abnormal wear, but the gap is too large, it can be adjusted. Adjustments should be made by trained professionals at the service station. After adjustment, it is necessary to ensure that the steering wheel can reach the limit position left and right, with uniform force and flexible rotation.
7. Don't maintain the steering gear in roadside shops with poor equipment and low technical level at will. If the steering gear is not properly adjusted, it will cause jamming and endanger driving and personal safety.
The above is about how to maintain the steering gear, and what matters needing attention in steering gear maintenance. I hope it helps you.
