Removal
1. Remove the tie rod end.
2. Loosen the clamps at both ends of the cuff. Squeeze the clamps with pliers, or unscrew the wire clamps.
3. Remove the rubber cuff.
Attention! If the cuff has been faulty for a long time, it can be concluded that dirt has penetrated the mechanism. Dirt, together with grease, acts as a grinding paste and destroys the steering mechanism. In this case, as well as if there are traces of rust on the toothed rack, the steering mechanism must be repaired (is done in the workshop).
Installation
1. Lightly lubricate the steering rod "C".
2. Lightly lubricate the cuff "B" on the inside of the flange "E" and pull it onto the steering rod "C".
3. Pull the cuff onto the rack housing "A".
4. Wrap the new wire around the cuff on the steering gear twice and twist 4 - 4.5 times. A standard hose clamp with a bolt can also be used instead.
5. Secure the cuff to the steering rod with a wire clamp.
Caution! The rubber cuff must not be twisted.
6. Install the tie rod end.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Check the alignment and adjust if necessary.
