Steering column (at a cabriolet)  

When the steering column is removed from the car, it is very easy for damaging.

If it to drop vertically, the steering shaft can break or can weaken plastic pins which regulate length of a column; if on it to lean, it can be bent or deformed. Any of the listed damages can worsen udaropogloshchayushchy properties of a column.

Weakening fixing bolts and nuts of a steering column, be convinced that the steering column and the bottom steering shaft are disconnected. If before weakening of fixing bolts and nuts a steering column and the bottom steering shaft not to separate, it can damage the bearing of the bottom steering shaft.


At carrying out service of a steering column or any knots established on it it is necessary to remove a steering wheel. But if the steering column acts in film to provide only access to toolbar components, the steering wheel can be not removed from a column.

Removal

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Disconnect "minus" (–) a battery cable.
  2. Remove a steering wheel and podrulevy switches if it is required. See in this Chapter Sections the Steering wheel and Podrulevye switches.
  3. If the steering wheel and\or podrulevy switches remain on a place, execute the following manipulations:
    • Turn a steering wheel so that forward wheels of the car looked directly forward.
    • Turn the ignition switch in the situation "LOCK" and take out a key.
  4. Uncover a steering column (1).
  5. Disconnect all cables of the following knots:
    • Contact spiral and podrulevy switches
    • Ignition switch
    • Elements of anticreeping system (if are available).
* — if enter into a complete set
  1. Put stykovochny labels (3) on the coupling of a shaft (2) (from a column) (1) that on them it is correct to establish into place.
  1. Having unscrewed a bolt (4) from a column on the coupling of a shaft and having weakened a bolt (5) from the bottom shaft, pull the coupling of a shaft (2) towards the bottom shaft (as shown shooters in drawing below).
1 — a steering column
2 — the bottom shaft
3 — the bottom steering shaft
4 — the shaft coupling
5 — a bolt
  1. Unscrew fixing bolts of a steering column (6 pieces) (2).
1 — a steering column
2 — fixing bolts of a steering column
3 — the bottom epiploon of a steering column
  1. If there is a cable of blocking (1) switch (key), unscrew a bolt (2) cables of blocking of the switch (key), and then disconnect a cable from the ignition switch.
  1. Remove a steering column from the car.

Survey

Check serviceability of a steering column and existence of damages as it is described in this section in Head Check of a steering column on damages at failure (at a cabriolet).

Installation

  • After fixing bolts of a steering column are tightened, tighten bolts of the coupling of a steering shaft.
  • After the bottom bolts of a steering column are tightened, tighten the top bolts of a steering column.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Be convinced that forward wheels and a steering wheel are in the situation corresponding to rectilinear movement of the car.
  2. If there is a cable of blocking of the switch (key), fix it on the ignition switch.
  3. Establish a steering column (1) on the panel (4) and the top fixture so that the thickening of the bottom epiploon of a steering column (3) was projected through an opening in the panel in an engine compartment. Tighten at first the bottom bolts of a steering column (2) (4 pieces), and then the top bolts (5) (2 pieces) the specified value of the moment of an inhaling. Inhaling moment: a fixing bolt of a steering column — 23 N • m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 pounds foots).

In an engine compartment.

In salon.

  1. Dress the coupling of a steering shaft (1) on a steering shaft (2), having combined the labels (3) put before removal.
  1. Fasten a bolt of the coupling of a shaft (from a column) to the coupling of a steering shaft (1). At first tighten a bolt of the coupling of a shaft (from a column) (2) to the specified value of the moment of an inhaling, and then a bolt of the coupling of a shaft (from the bottom party of a shaft) (3) to the specified value of the moment of an inhaling. Inhaling moment: a bolt of the coupling of a shaft — 25 N • m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 pounds foots).
  1. If podrulevy switches were removed, establish them into place. See in Razdel Podrulevye's this Chapter switches.
  2. Connect all wires which were disconnected before removal.
  3. Establish a cover of an opening of a steering column (1).
* — if enters into a complete set
  1. If the steering wheel was removed, establish it as the Steering wheel is described in this Chapter in the Section.
  2. Connect "minus" a battery cable.
