1 Answers
The Altima steering gear cover is located on the chassis beneath the vehicle body. The steering gear, also known as the steering box or steering mechanism, is a crucial component of the automotive steering system. Types of steering gears include: 1. Electric power steering; 2. Rack and pinion hydraulic power steering; 3. Electro-hydraulic power steering. Solutions for steering gear oil leakage are: 1. For bolt hole leaks, add fiber thread or gaskets at the bolt root for sealing; 2. For bottom cover leaks, re-machine the surface and holes or fit new conduits; 3. For gasket seepage, replace with impregnated gasket paperboard; 4. For oil seal leaks, replace with new oil seals, bearings, and polish the shaft diameter. The steering gear assists the driver by reducing the effort required when turning the steering wheel, making driving more effortless and convenient.
