Can the steering gear clearance of the new Santana be adjusted?
1 Answers
New Santana's steering gear clearance can be adjusted. When there is steering clearance, land the wheels and keep them straight ahead. Loosen the nut on the steering gear, adjust the bolt with a hex wrench until it touches the thrust washer stop, and then tighten the nut. Note that while tightening, use the hex wrench to secure the adjusted bolt to prevent it from turning. After adjustment, test drive to check. Concept of steering gear: The steering gear is a machine that assists the driver in applying force while turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required by the driver to achieve a relaxed and convenient driving experience. Working principle: Electric power steering operates when the driver turns the steering wheel. The structure of the power steering booster is very complex and generally cannot be repaired by ordinary people. With proper maintenance, it is not prone to failure. Precautions: Frequently check the oil in the oil cup to ensure it does not fall below the lower limit of the oil dipstick. If the booster loses oil, the pressure pump may be damaged. Secondly, change the oil regularly. Third, avoid turning the steering wheel to the extreme. Fourth, try not to turn the steering wheel while stationary.
