    Normally, many automobile steering columns are processed from automobile steel plates, covered with a simple phosphating process, which is easy to rust after a long time, but will not continue to corrode, nor affect the use, and the galvanizing process is slightly better. Although it does not pose a threat to safety, it reflects the lack of an important link in the car manufacturing process of a car company, which is quality control and quality inspection.

    If the search column is rusty, a whole bunch of search results will appear. Why is it that whether it is a domestic brand, a joint venture brand, or even an imported car, the steering column is more or less rusty. Therefore, this problem is no longer an isolated case, but has risen to a common phenomenon.

    We all know that the manufacture of a car is not done unilaterally by the OEM, and it requires the cooperation of multiple parties. The steering column is a part of the first-class business parts link.

    The steering system supplier will carry out anti-rust treatment for the whole set of equipment in the production of the steering system, but with the reduction of the automobile, the cost control will be placed in front of the respective OEMs, the OEMs will compress the budget for purchasing accessories, and the supporting suppliers will also be forced to reduce quality control to maintain costs. How to reduce costs, among which reducing the process flow is one of the most important means. If it is not related to core safety, the process flow will be re-optimized, and the cost of missing a step will be reduced by 20%-30%, which is one of the reasons why the first batch of new cars on the market has fewer rust problems, but then after the mid-term facelift, the rust phenomenon gradually increases.

    At present, there are some domestic OEMs cooperating with the steering system business. Look at the steering system that is in trouble around you, who is responsible for it? This is not to black a certain OEM, black a businessman, but to urge the main engine factory, or the best business, in the quality inspection, production process can not in order to cut costs, increase profits, unnecessary losses to the car owners, this is quite unkind approach.

    The steering column is generally not covered with paint for odor protection, so the steering column of the steering wheel is used for a period of time, and there will be a layer of rust on it, which is more common for most low-end cars, even if it is some high-end cars, they will not spend money to deal with it, because these are the use of the owner is not directly seen, and there will be no potential safety hazards, so many manufacturers will not deal with the steering column, Only some drivers and car owners will find out when they are repairing, so this kind of problem is relatively common.

    From the overall point of view, the rusty steering column alone cannot prove that it is a soaking car.

    The steering column has not undergone anti-rust treatment in its own material, and the steering column will be rusted more or less regardless of whether it is a domestic yard car or an imported car.

    Hello The steering column floating rust Henglu may be caused by the soaking car, or it may be caused by its own material, without anti-rust treatment, or without heat treatment, etc., the pants know that there will be more or less friction in the case of frequent movement of the steering column, and the protective layer on the surface is easy to rust after being destroyed.

    The steering column is the element of the steering system that connects the steering wheel to the steering gear. Through the steering column, the driver transmits the torque to the steering gear, and drives the steering gear to steer. Common steering columns include hydraulic power steering column, electro-hydraulic power steering column and electric power steering column, and the system of different steering columns is different.

    Judging whether it is a soaking car by the rust of the steering column is only one of the judging criteria, and whether it is a soaking car should be seen as a whole. Generally speaking, rust on the steering column may be caused by water immersion, but it can also be caused by itself. The steering column is prone to rust when the material itself has not been treated with anti-rust and heat, or when the surface protective film formed by repeated friction molding is destroyed.

    So judging from it, Pei Zhao can only say that it has a soaking car and is suspicious.

    Summary. Hello, dear. It is not normal for the steering stem to rust under the steering wheel.

    The wheels and brakes are mounted on the steering knuckle, which rotates around the pin when steering. The steering knuckle, also known as the "sheep's horn", is one of the important parts in the steering axle of the car, which can make the car drive stably and transmit the direction of travel sensitively. The disassembly and assembly steps of the steering tie rod are as follows:

    1. Remove the dust jacket of the car tie rod: in order to prevent water from entering the steering machine of the car, there are dust jackets on the levers, and the dust jackets are separated from the steering machine with pliers and openings; 2. Remove the connecting screw between the tie rod and the turning knuckle: use a No. 16 wrench to remove the screw connecting the tie rod and the steering knuckle, and if there is no special tool, you can use a hammer to hit the connection part to separate the tie rod from the steering knuckle; 3. Disassemble the pull rod and connect the ball head with the direction machine

    Some cars have a groove on the ball head, which can be unscrewed in the groove with a movable wrench, and some cars are circular design, so you need to use a pipe wrench to remove the ball head, and after the ball head is loosened, you can take down the lever.

    The steering stem is rusty under the steering wheel.

Dismantle the pull rod and connect the ball head with the direction machine: some cars have a groove on the ball head, which can be unscrewed in the groove with a movable reserve wrench, and some cars are circular designs, so you need to use a pipe wrench to remove the ball head, and after the ball head is loosened, you can take down the pull rod.

    4. Install a new pull rod: compare the pull rod and confirm that the accessories are the same, you can assemble it, first install one end of the pull rod on the direction machine, and rivet the lock plate on the direction machine, and then install the screws connected with the steering knuckle; 5. Tighten the dust jacket: although this is a very simple mountain slag single operation, but the effect is very large, if this place is not dealt with well, the direction of the machine will cause abnormal sound after the water enters the machine, you can glue at both ends of the dust jacket and then tie it with a cable tie; 6. Do four-wheel alignment amusement:

    After replacing the tie beam and the bar, you must do four-wheel alignment and adjust the data within the normal range, otherwise the toe is wrong, resulting in a mouth tire.

    Slight rust is normal and has little effect on the vehicle. It's in the car, after all. If it is severe, it is recommended to repair and replace.

    In general, the steering column is not painted for odor protection, so after a period of use, a layer of rust will appear on the steering column of the steering wheel, which is quite common for most low-end cars.

    Even for some high-end cars, they will not spend money to deal with it, because these are things that the owner cannot see directly, and there will be no safety hazards, so many manufacturers will not deal with the steering column, and only some drivers and owners will find it when they are repaired, so this kind of problem and silver are still relatively common.

How to reduce costs, in which reducing the process flow is one of the most important means.

    If the core safety is not involved, the process will be re-optimized, and the cost will be reduced by 20%-30% in one step, which is also one of the reasons why the first batch of new cars that have just been launched have fewer rust problems, but after the mid-term facelift, the rust phenomenon has gradually increased.

1. This situation generally appears in the model of mechanical hydraulic power steering, which is a very common way of steering power in the past, referred to as HPS in English, with mature and reliable technology and low cost. This type of steering power assist converts a part of the engine's power output into hydraulic pump pressure, which exerts auxiliary force on the steering system to steer the tires. When the steering wheel is not turned, the pressure in the chambers on both sides of the piston is the same and it is in equilibrium. >>>More
