Are the steering gears of Geely Freedom and Xiali interchangeable?
1 Answers
Geely Freedom's steering gear is not interchangeable with Xiali's. Introduction to steering gears: The steering gear assists the driver in applying force when turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required. It is mainly divided into rack-and-pinion steering and worm-and-sector steering. Currently, there are roughly three types of power steering systems on the market: electric power steering (EPS), hydraulic rack-and-pinion power steering, and electro-hydraulic power steering. Working principle of steering gears: Electric power steering activates the motor below when the driver turns the steering wheel. The power steering system is based on a mechanical steering system with an additional power assist device. The steering pump is installed on the engine and driven by the crankshaft via a belt, outputting hydraulic fluid.
