What are the causes of steering gear oil leakage in cars?
1 Answers
The causes of steering gear oil leakage are as follows: 1. Oil leakage from the screw holes of the steering gear. This may be due to the screw holes being penetrated, or during maintenance, the screws used in the screw holes were too long, causing the area to crack. In this case, oil will slowly seep out from the outer side of the threads. 2. Improper casting leading to oil leakage from the bottom cover. If the bottom cover surface is uneven or the guide pipes are not perpendicular, it can result in insufficiently tight riveting or misalignment of the guide pipes. 3. Oil leakage caused by the use of cardboard gaskets. Cardboard has a strong absorption capacity for oil, and if the bolts are not tightened sufficiently or unevenly, it can lead to uneven placement of the side cover and bottom cover, causing deformation.
