Modern Verna steering gear consists of steering drop arm, longitudinal tie rod, steering knuckle arm, upper and lower trapezoidal arms, and tie rod. The principle of the steering gear is to increase the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering transmission mechanism and change the direction of force transmission. The steering gear belongs to the steering transmission mechanism, also known as the steering gear or steering box, and is an important component in the automobile steering system. Classification of steering gears: 1. Rack and pinion steering gear: a common type of steering gear, the basic structure of which is a pair of meshing pinion and rack; 2. Worm and crank pin steering gear: a steering gear with the worm as the driving part and the crank pin as the driven part; 3. Recirculating ball steering gear: the recirculating ball power steering system, the main structure of which consists of two parts: the mechanical part and the hydraulic part. The Hyundai Verna is a car launched by Beijing Hyundai, with body dimensions of 4340mm in length, 1700mm in width, 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm.

I've been driving a Hyundai Verna for several years, and it's equipped with an electric power steering system. This thing is fuel-efficient and quiet, allowing the steering wheel to turn flexibly with just a light touch, especially making parking in narrow streets super convenient. If the power assist fails, the steering wheel suddenly becomes heavy, feeling as exhausting as pushing a big rock. In such cases, it's necessary to check if the motor or sensor is malfunctioning, and it's best not to force it and take risks. During regular maintenance, pay attention to any abnormal noises or stiffness when steering. On the highway, the system automatically adjusts the steering to be heavier, making it much more stable. Hyundai's design is quite thoughtful, making both beginners and experienced drivers feel relaxed and safe, and maintenance isn't too expensive either, with parts replacement costing just a few thousand bucks.

As a daily driver, I find the Verna's steering design quite comfortable. The electric power steering makes it light and effortless, reducing fatigue in city traffic. It responds sensitively with strong assistance during sharp turns or high-speed lane changes. However, minor issues occasionally arise, such as steering noise or unstable power assistance, mostly caused by poor electrical contact—simply cleaning the connectors usually fixes it. I recommend not turning sharply immediately after a cold start in winter; letting the system warm up ensures smoother operation. Overall, it offers good value for money and is more durable than older models.

In repair work for Hyundai Verna, a common issue is the failure of power steering, mostly caused by electronic sensor malfunctions leading to sudden heavy steering which is risky. The repair cost is usually around a thousand bucks, like replacing the module, but it should be addressed promptly to avoid greater wear. Owners should avoid aggressive driving that causes vibrations leading to component loosening.
