Replacing the steering rack (ZAZ, Tavria, Slavuta)

Replacing the steering rack ZAZ, Tavria, Slavuta are identical. On my Slavuta car, the steering mechanism needed to be replaced after the steering wheel jammed in extreme positions when turning. You can buy a repair kit and repair the old steering mechanism, but it is safer to install a new one. I bought a steering rack from FSO, which is not very expensive and has normal quality.
The procedure for replacing the steering gear is as follows:
- hang out and remove the front wheels;
- remove the tie rod ends using a puller or tapping with a hammer;
- unscrew the four bolts securing the rack housing to the body;
- Unscrew the bolt securing the intermediate shaft of the steering column to the steering gear shaft;
- disengage the steering rack and pull it out through the left mudguard under the wheel arch;
- disconnect the steering rods from the steering rack and, if necessary, change the silent blocks of the steering rods;
- we will modernize the new steering gear by installing a third bearing and a pressure washer of appropriate thickness on the steering gear shaft;
- there was no lubricant in my steering rack, so we remove the breather and fill the rack housing, using a medical syringe, with 50-70 milliliters of “Fiol-1” or “Litol” lubricant, diluted with engine oil;
- assemble the steering mechanism in the reverse order, setting the distance between the rasp rod and the middle of the first mounting eye to 17.3 centimeters.
The cause of the steering rack failure was the destruction of the gear shaft teeth on one side.
