What are the causes of steering gear oil leakage?
1 Answers
The causes of steering gear oil leakage are: 1. The original screw holes are drilled through or during maintenance, longer screws are used to penetrate or crack the screw holes, causing the lubricating oil inside the box to seep out along the threads; 2. The uneven surface of the cover or the non-perpendicular alignment of the guide hole with the two planes, resulting in loose riveting or misaligned guides; 3. Uneven bolt torque, causing deformation of the side cover and bottom cover, and improper adjustment of the number of gaskets; 4. Poor concentricity between the steering arm bearing hole and the oil seal seat hole of the steering worm box, leading to leakage at the steering arm shaft oil seal; 5. Cracks, sand holes, air holes, or loose metal around the screw holes in the steering gear housing. The steering gear, also known as the steering box, is an important component of a car's steering function and a crucial guarantee for driving safety, with a precise internal structure.
