VAZ 2110: replacement of steering tips. Features of the work

More often produced on a VAZ 2110 replacement carsteering tips, rather than slats. And this procedure is inherently not very difficult, only in the process there can be unforeseen circumstances. Often they are due to the fact that the adjusting nuts are covered with rust and they can not be unscrewed. But to help you in this matter must come savvy and knowledge of the basic laws of physics. However, you first need to understand when you need to replace the tips.

Diagnosis of the steering gear

The first call to the need for a replacementthe tip of the steering thrust VAZ 2110 - this is the appearance of backlash. The steering wheel is much worse starting to turn, its free wheel increases, driving comfort from this suffers. It is also possible that foreign sounds will start to appear when the rudder is turned. Of course, immediately sin on the tips is not necessary, because the crunch can appear and when the ball, the bearing is worn out.

To make sure thatthere are faults in the steering mechanism, you need to roll up the sleeves and carry out diagnostics. To do this, it sometimes turns out to be enough to turn the thrust head. If it moves freely, then it's worth thinking about repairs. Because of this easy move there is a backlash of the steering wheel, which makes the comfort in driving. Fingering your finger also tells you that you need to replace the steering tips on the VAZ 2110.

Preparation for repair

In advance, you can even a few days beforeof the planned start of the repair, carefully treat all threaded joints with a penetrating lubricant. The more abundant, the better, because you need to get rid of dirt and rust. The first action is a trip to the store. In fact, replacing the steering tips VAZ 2110, whose price is 400-450 rubles, will cost you inexpensively. But if there is no tool, then you have to spend money on buying it.

So, you must have in your arsenalat least the simplest puller, with the help of which it will be much easier to dismantle the steering tips from the pivot of the rack. In addition, the keys on the 27 and 24. With their help, the nuts are pulled from the traction. However, this is all that is required. In rare cases, you may need a gas can. About how to use it in this difficult occupation, will be told a little lower.

Dismantle of steering tips

Initially, you just need to disrupt everythingnuts on the rods. Armed with keys on 24 and 27, climb under the hood. Find the adjusting nuts. Note that the outer nuts have a reverse thread, the right one. This is due to the special design of the steering. In order to ensure the safety of use, it is necessary to apply this thread. If the thread was treated with a penetrating lubricant in advance, the VAZ 2110 will not take long to replace the steering tips.

But if you can not unscrew the nuts,will have to do more. Take a screwdriver and unscrew the bolts that secure the rod ties to the rail. Unscrew both bolts, after which you need to hang out the front wheels and remove them. Remove the pins from the fingers of the handpieces and unscrew the nuts. Using a puller, press out your finger from the pivot pin of the shock absorber strut.

How to unscrew the nuts?

Now, in order to replace the helm of the WHA2110 with your own hands went as fast as possible, you need to use two methods of unscrewing the nuts. In the first place, of course, is clamping in the vice. First install the middle part in them, tighten them tightly, then twist the nut with the key by 27. Slowly, but surely, it should get out. Of course, not everything ends so beautifully. It will not be very good if the nut does not yield, even if it has been under the influence of a penetrating lubricant for a long time. In this case, only the second method will save.

Earlier there was a mention of a gas can. That's what he needs to implement the second method. With its help, the entire thread is heated to a high temperature. If there is no can, put a part for a few minutes on the gas stove. When the metal gets warm enough, you can shoot the finished "dish" from the fire and serve it on the anvil. Several blows with a hammer, only not very strong, the main thing is that they are sharp, will help get rid of the rust and dirt that has accumulated on the thread. That's all, now you can try to carefully unscrew the nuts. Just see that on your VAZ 2110 the replacement of the steering tips does not end with burns. Work with hot metal in protective equipment.

Conclusion

Assemble the rods in reversesequence. Then install them first on the rail, but first the connection is well smeared with lithol. Heave the bolts, but do not rush them. When traction will be established, it is necessary to put the fingers of the tips into the rotary fists. If the wheels do not rotate, then you will ensure the most accurate fitting of the toe. But still after replacing the tips, visit the SRT to go through the procedure for adjusting the camber and convergence of the front wheels. This procedure is not binding, but mandatory. It is worth noting that, if the rods are replaced without adjusting toe-in, rubber wear will occur unevenly, and the handling of the car will suffer greatly. It will be pulled aside, and this creates a danger to your life.
