Steering parts for General motors

Steering is a set of vehicle mechanisms that ensures movement in the direction specified by the driver. This ensures straight-line movement and turns left and right. The force from the steering wheel to the front wheels of the vehicle is transmitted through the steering reducer or through the steering rail. Other main elements of the steering system are the trapeze, column with shafts, and steering wheel. The trapeze consists of several tie rods with ball joints. The proper technical condition of the steering system is very important for the safe operation of the vehicle. It is necessary to comply with technical regulations and promptly carry out inspection and maintenance of this system. During inspection, special attention should be paid to the condition of the tie rod ends. The steering column shafts are connected using joints, crosspieces, yokes, and couplings. The steering system can have hydraulic or electric power. The electric power steering consists of an electric motor and a reducer, which transmits force from the electric motor to the steering rail. Electric power steering is located on the steering rack housing or in the steering column of the car. More
