1 Answers
Fault causes: Deformation of the steering knuckle arm; Lack of oil or damage to the steering knuckle thrust bearing; Excessive clearance or lack of oil between the steering knuckle kingpin and bushing; Deformation of the front axle or frame leading to misalignment of front wheel positioning; Insufficient tire pressure; Over-tight assembly of the steering gear bearings; Excessive meshing clearance of the transmission pair; Over-tight assembly or lack of oil in the tie rod ball joints; Bending of the steering shaft or column causing mutual friction or jamming; Improper lubrication of the steering system, incorrect toe-in adjustment. Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting: 1. If the fault lies in the front axle and wheels: Lift the front axle and turn the steering wheel. If the steering feels flexible, the fault is in the front axle and wheels. Because lifting the front axle eliminates the contact resistance between the wheels and the road surface. At this time, carefully check whether the front tire pressure is too low, whether the front leaf springs are in good condition, and whether the frame is deformed. 2. If the fault lies in the steering gear: Lift the front axle and turn the steering wheel. If the steering feels heavy, the fault is in the steering gear or steering linkage. At this time, remove the steering gear pitman arm and turn the steering wheel again. If it still feels heavy, the fault is inside the steering gear, and the damaged parts should be repaired or replaced as needed. 3. No fault: After removing the pitman arm, turn the steering wheel. If it feels light and flexible, the steering gear is functioning properly.
