Will the steering gear be damaged immediately when submerged in water?

[HarperAnn]

The steering gear is highly likely to be damaged when submerged in water. Reasons for damage: Because it is difficult to ensure good waterproofing for the steering gear, the rubber cover will age, and water ingress into the circuits will cause short circuits. Solutions for steering gear damage: First, check the spool valve to see if it functions properly. If it fails to close tightly due to excessive clearance, replace the new steering screw and spool valve. Secondly, check the sealing ring on the power piston and whether the sealing effect of the middle sealing ring in the radial groove of the valve chamber body is good. Replace with new parts if necessary. At the same time, check whether the surface of the oil cylinder is damaged. Check whether the valve ball and valve seat of the one-way valve are sealed. If there is dirt causing improper closure, clean thoroughly. If the valve body itself causes improper closure, replace it with a new one.
