Does Replacing the Steering Gear Count as an Accident Vehicle?
1 Answers
Replacing the steering gear does not count as an accident vehicle. All vehicles that have undergone part replacements and repairs are not considered accident vehicles unless the engine or transmission is replaced, or the vehicle body has undergone cutting and welding repairs. Accident Vehicle: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear and tear incidents, resulting in a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. Generally, an "accident vehicle" refers to a vehicle with structural damage. Additionally, water-damaged vehicles and fire-damaged vehicles also fall under the category of "special accident vehicles." Steering Gear: The automotive steering gear, also known as the steering mechanism or steering box, is the most critical component in the vehicle's steering system. Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to change the direction of force transmission.
