Repair and car operation

The steering consists of a steering wheel, a steering column, the mechanism of a steering and cross-section steering drafts. For convenience of operation of the car adjustment of a steering wheel on height on 28 mm and in the longitudinal direction on 50 mm is provided.

The steering wheel is fixed on a steering column and transfers effort to tooth reechny gearing.

The gear lath of the steering mechanism from each party is connected to cross-section steering draft means of the spherical hinge. Steering drafts transfer force through steering tips and rotary fists to forward wheels. Reechnoye a steering possesses an easy course and has no люфта at rotation of a steering wheel from an emphasis against the stop. The steering practically does not demand service, however it is necessary to check constantly a condition of protective covers of spherical hinges.

The pump is put in action from the engine through poliklinovy a belt. The pump submits oil from a tank under big pressure to the valve located in steering transfer. The valve is mechanically connected to shaft of a steering and submits oil depending on turn of a steering wheel to the relevant party of the working cylinder. Oil presses on the piston of a gear lath and at the expense of it supports movement of a steering wheel. At the same time the piston pushes out oil on the other side of the working cylinder via the returnable pipeline back in a broad tank.

In the central part of a steering wheel the air inflatable safety cushion for the driver is established. The safety airbag from the driver is established as the standard equipment on all models.
