What Happens If the Power Steering Hose Is Installed Backwards?

It will cause the inability to adjust the speed of gravity due to incorrect throttling direction. Below is relevant information about the steering gear: 1. Introduction: The automobile steering gear, also known as the steering mechanism or steering box, is the most crucial component in a vehicle's steering system. Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to alter the direction of force transmission. 2. Types of Steering Gears: (1) Rack and Pinion Steering: This is the most common type of steering gear. Its basic structure consists of a pair of meshing pinion and rack. When the steering shaft rotates the pinion, the rack moves linearly. Sometimes, the rack directly drives the tie rod, enabling the steering wheels to turn. Therefore, this is the simplest type of steering gear. Its advantages include simple structure, low cost, sensitive steering, compact size, and the ability to directly drive the tie rod. It is widely used in automobiles. (2) Worm and Roller Steering: In this steering gear, the worm is the driving component, and the roller is the driven component. The worm has trapezoidal threads, and the finger-like tapered roller is supported by bearings on the crank, which is integrated with the steering rocker arm shaft. When steering, the rotation of the steering wheel turns the worm, and the tapered roller embedded in the worm's spiral groove rotates while moving in an arc around the steering rocker arm shaft, thereby driving the crank and steering arm to swing and causing the steering wheels to turn through the steering linkage. This type of steering gear is typically used in heavy-duty trucks requiring greater steering force. (3) Recirculating Ball Steering: The recirculating ball power steering system mainly consists of two parts: mechanical and hydraulic. The mechanical part includes the housing, side cover, upper cover, lower cover, recirculating ball screw, rack nut, rotary valve spool, and sector gear shaft. There are two pairs of transmission components: one is the screw and nut, and the other is the rack and sector gear or sector gear shaft. Between the screw and the rack nut, there are recirculating steel balls that convert sliding friction into rolling friction, thereby improving transmission efficiency. The advantages of this steering gear are easy operation, minimal wear, and long service life. The disadvantages are complex structure, higher cost, and less sensitive steering compared to the rack and pinion type.
