Proper steering assurance of your safety
In everyday life, many car owners are worried about the engine, suspension and body condition. Absolutely forgetting about such a component as steering. The good condition of this element allows not only to save lives for passengers, but also to go to any point at the request of the driver.
The steering of the car was originally conceived for the following purposes:
1) Eliminate arbitrary rotation of the wheels.
2) Ensure reliability and improve the level of security management.
3) Minimize the return to the steering.
4) Ensure maximum maneuverability and ease of management.
The basic malfunctions of a steering:
1) The free travel (play) of the steering wheel is too large.
2) Knocks (noise) during steering.
3) A sharp increase in tractive force when turning the rudder.
It is worth noting that even at the stage of the initial creation of the car, after the construction of the body go to the creation of steering mechanisms. A number of crash tests have shown that a frontal collision or a front impact from the driver leads to a shift of the steering mechanism towards the driver, which can cause significant damage to health. That is why the crankcase of the steering mechanism is located in a place where the deformation of the body will be minimal on impact, then put the energy-absorbing element, reinforcing it all with one or two compacted hubs. To date, many automakers in Europe are developing new elements to improve the reliability and safety of steering, but no technology will not help you if you do not carefully monitor their health.
