Troubleshooting

As the car moves, the ball pins rotate in different planes and gradually wear out the crackers, which causes backlash. The following signs indicate critical wear of a tip (or several):

a distinct dull tapping sound when driving over any uneven surfaces;
vibration from the play of the ball pins is transmitted to the steering wheel;
on a flat section of the road the car spontaneously leaves the straight path;
The rotation of the steering wheel is difficult, and a creaking sound is heard from below.

When a lot of force is required to turn the steering wheel, the worn tip must be replaced immediately. The symptom indicates that the ball pin is jammed inside the housing. If measures are not taken in time, the hinge may jump out of its socket and the car will become uncontrollable.

A similar story happened to my relative. When there was literally half a kilometer left to drive to the garage, the right steering tip on the “seven” broke off. The driver showed ingenuity: he tied the end of the dropped rod to the suspension arm, leveled the wheel with his hands and slowly continued driving. When it was necessary to turn, he stopped, got out of the car and manually adjusted the wheel in the right direction. The 500 m long path was covered in 40 minutes (including the entrance to the garage).

Most often, hinges become unusable due to a torn protective cover.

Steering rods of Zhiguli cars become unusable for a number of reasons:

Natural wear and tear. Play and knocking appear at 20-30 thousand km, depending on conditions and driving style.
Operation with torn hinge boots. Water flows into the unit through the holes, dust and sand penetrate. Corrosion and abrasive effects quickly destroy the ball pin.
Lack of lubrication leads to increased friction and accelerated wear. The presence of lubricant must be checked before installing the part on the car.
Bending of the rod due to impact with a stone or other obstacle. If the outcome is successful, the element can be removed and leveled by heating it with a burner.

When the production of all tips reaches a critical limit, the front wheels have large free play in the horizontal plane. To drive straight, the driver has to “catch” the car along the entire road. How to diagnose wear on steering rods and not confuse them with suspension faults:

Place the car on a viewing ditch or overpass and apply the handbrake.
Go down into the hole and carefully inspect the trapezoid, especially after hitting the bottom.
Grab the shaft near the tip with your hand and rock it up and down.
If you feel free movement, replace the worn element. Repeat the operation on all hinges. To check, the lever must be swung in a vertical plane, grasping it near the hinge

The method of developing traction during diagnosis is of great importance. There is no point in turning the lever around its own axis - this is its normal operating stroke. If the test shows a small tight play, the hinge is considered to be in good condition - the internal spring is triggered.

There is no point in putting pressure on the hinge from below - you will only feel the resistance of the spring

Problems when paying with bank cards

Steering wheel braid
Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.

Replacing the VAZ 2105 timing belt with your own hands

2. Remove the battery, then loosen the generator mount at “17” and lift it up, this will release the tension on the generator belt and remove it without any problems.

5. Align the mark on the camshaft with the mark on the timing belt pulley.

6. When matching the marks on the camshaft, the mark on the crankshaft must match, it should be on the longest mark.

7. If you did everything correctly, the distributor slider will be in the 1st or 4th cylinder position. In case of an error, this will allow you to very quickly return the ignition to normal, for example, if you turn the third pulley that drives the oil pump and distributor. There are no marks on it, so be careful and attentive when removing the timing belt.

9. Use the head at “13” to loosen the fastening of the roller, and with the wrench at “30” turn the roller counterclockwise, this will loosen the tension of the timing belt.

10. When the tension is loose, move the timing belt to the side and try to pull it out from under the hood.

13. Using the key set to “13”, tighten the roller completely.

Before replacing the VAZ timing belt, I recommend watching the following video:

Hi all! VAZ 2104 1998 engine from 2103 1.5. It all started with the decision to change the timing chain. I replaced the chain, tightened it and decided to adjust the distributor. I set all the marks (on the crankshaft pulley, on the camshaft and put the thrombler slider on the 4th cylinder. I installed the camshaft cover, carburetor, air. The car started, but I felt a dip in the engine. I decided to adjust the thrombler body - it stalled. I couldn’t start it. I started setting it again ignition. I unscrewed the spark plug from the first cylinder, plugged it with a rag and began to turn the starter a little until the rag flew out. After that, I aligned the mark on the crankshaft pulley with the top short mark on the cover, and the distributor slider on the first cylinder. Then I unscrewed the spark plug, stuck it in the ignition and started turn the housing until a spark appears on the spark plug. I put everything in place and tightened the distributor. The car started up easily (on choke), but after working for a while (20 seconds) it stalled and slightly slowed down. I waited, after a while it started to start again, but it started again It only worked if I turned up the gas much more strongly, and thick white smoke with a strong smell of gasoline began pouring out of the muffler and crankcase ventilation breather. What could be the problem?

What kind of steering wheel can be put on the “six”

The steering wheel in the car is locked, what should I do?

Like the entire line of VAZ “classics”, the “six” has the widest possibilities for tuning and replacing various units. For example, if the driver wishes, the factory steering wheel can be replaced with a similar part from any other VAZ model. The only limitation is that you will have to spend a lot of time refining and adjusting the elements.

The steering wheel from the VAZ 2108 is considered to be the closest in size to the 2106. The owners of the “sixes” themselves do not highly appreciate the feasibility of such a replacement: after all, it turns out that “the awl is changing to soap.” The most popular steering wheels are from Niva, as they are designed for a longer service life and have already proven themselves well in different operating conditions.

Due to its design features, a V8 steering wheel can be installed on a VAZ 2106 without any problems, but many drivers have doubts about the feasibility of such a replacement

A little about wooden rudders

The classic steering wheel on any car is made of plastic. However, installing a wooden steering wheel is considered especially chic among drivers - the car’s interior becomes more presentable.

However, it should be borne in mind that expensive pleasure will not make the car more pliable to drive - on the contrary, the wooden steering wheel is not suitable for sensitive driving. Therefore, when choosing such a product, you should be more attentive to traffic rules and drive carefully in icy conditions and on wet asphalt.

The cost of a wooden steering wheel for a VAZ 2106 starts at 4 thousand rubles.

Products made from natural wood add additional luxury and beauty to the car interior.

Sports steering wheel

Sports steering wheels are designed to give the interior a special style, and the car - maneuverability. However, when choosing this type of steering wheel, you should be as careful as possible, because initially the “six” was not designed for racing and drifting, and therefore a sports steering wheel will not be able to guarantee the driver maximum safety during maneuvers.

The cost of a sports steering wheel starts at 1,600 rubles.

The sports steering wheel makes driving more precise and faster

What you need to know when dismantling the Chevrolet Epica steering wheel

To begin with, it is worth understanding that steering wheel is not the GAZ 53 steering wheel; a large number of electrical connectors are concentrated . How many there are depends on the vehicle’s configuration.

In any case, we will have to deal with the main, driver's airbag , and this is one of those Chevrolet Epica spare parts that can really ruin your life (as well as save it, if something happens).

The difficulty is that the cable that fits the controls on the steering column and on the steering wheel itself is an extremely capricious Epic spare part.

If we make one careless move, at best we will get an error in the ECU, and at worst, the airbag may shoot out.

Moreover, not only the main airbag can work, but also all the others, the number of which depends on the equipment level. This means that you can end up reupholstering not only the steering wheel, but also the front panel and door cards, and this is not a cheap pleasure.

In addition, you will have to change (or remove with flashing the ECU) all the airbags , which is extremely undesirable and expensive.

It is important to know one more thing. If you handle the steering wheel cable carelessly, either the connector or the shock sensor may be damaged . Its readings are tightly stitched into the electronic control unit ( Crash Data ) and it will not be possible to erase data about an accident that never happened.

The activation of the airbags will be permanently recorded in the controller's memory, which is regarded as an accident.

Once again, if the steering cable is somehow damaged, Crash Data will be permanently written into the ECU; it is impossible to erase this data.

Therefore, to act as the hero of our today’s video is extremely frivolous. Let's not lose sight of the damage to health that an airbag explosion can cause ; it all depends on personal luck.

The fact is that the operation of safety systems, including the SRS unit, is designed for the driver and passengers to be in their seats and fastened with seat belts, that is, they are at a distance from the airbag, and not directly facing it.

These are completely different degrees of impact of a deployed airbag on us. Forewarned is forearmed. Let's start dismantling the steering wheel.

How to remove the steering wheel of a VAZ 2107

How to hold the steering wheel correctly when turning

The need to remove the steering wheel may arise for various reasons. It’s worth going into more detail on when and how to do this.

When to shoot

The VAZ 2107 steering wheel is a fairly reliable part that does not have to be removed very often. There are practically no parts that can fail. The most common reasons for its dismantling are:

Signal button problems. The problem manifests itself in the inability to use the sound signal, which occurs due to a broken contact;
appearance. As the car is used, the surface of the steering wheel wears out. To hide signs of wear, car owners use braids, but not everyone likes them. This product additionally increases the diameter of the steering wheel;
tuning If the goal is to replace the steering wheel with a more modern and stylish one, then dismantling it cannot be done;
repair. Removing the part may also be necessary when carrying out certain types of work on the dashboard, dashboard or horn contacts.

Removing the steering wheel

To remove the steering wheel on the “seven” you will need the following tools:

knob;
head 24;
flat screwdriver.

The procedure is carried out in the following order:

Place the car on a level surface so that the front wheels are level.
Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
We sit in the driver's seat and use a screwdriver to pry up the soft insert located in the center of the steering wheel.
Using a socket with a knob, loosen the nut, but do not unscrew it completely.
We grab the wheel with both hands and pull it towards ourselves. If the steering wheel cannot be pulled off the splines, tap the back side with your palms and knock the product off the shaft.
Unscrew the nut completely and remove the steering wheel.

Video: how to remove the steering wheel on the “seven”

To make it easier to install the steering wheel in place, it is recommended to mark the hub and shaft before dismantling

Replacing the steering wheel cover and slip ring

Sometimes it is necessary to replace steering wheel parts (slip ring, springs or cover), for example, if they are damaged or malfunctioning. For repairs, you only need a Phillips screwdriver. The process consists of the following step-by-step actions:

Unscrew the screws securing the cover on the back of the steering wheel.
To remove the two middle screws, remove the plugs.
We dismantle the cover and remove the wires coming from the slip ring.
We remove the springs, moving them to a new cover if it is being replaced.
To replace the slip ring, unscrew the fastening screws and remove the part.
We replace the ring or cover and assemble the steering wheel in the reverse order.

Installing the steering wheel

Before reinstalling the steering wheel, it is necessary to lubricate the splines, for example, with Litol-24 grease. Assembly is performed in the following order:

We put the steering wheel on the slots, aligning the previously applied marks. If you are installing a new steering wheel, set it as level as possible.
We insert the nut into the head and screw it onto the thread with a wrench.
Holding the steering wheel firmly, tighten the nut.
We replace the battery terminal and try to drive about 50–100 m along a road where there is no other vehicle. This will ensure that the steering wheel is in the correct position. If it is displaced, then unscrew the nut and rearrange the part, moving it 1 tooth in one direction or another.
We put the cover in place.

If it is necessary to install a sports steering wheel, then the part is first connected to the adapter with bolts, after which it is mounted on the splines in the same way as described above.

The steering wheel on a VAZ 2107 does not have to be removed very often. However, if such a need arises, dismantling the part is within the capabilities of each owner of this car. Removal requires a minimum set of tools, following step-by-step instructions and a little time.

When should you shoot?

Signal button malfunction
. This also doesn't happen often, but it can happen. In this case, it is simply impossible to use a sound signal. The problem occurs due to a fallen contact, but it is almost impossible to restore it due to its inconvenient location;
Appearance
. Over time, the steering wheel gradually wears out, so drivers often use braids. But not all drivers like to use them in practice. They increase the thickness of the rim, which is not convenient for all people. If you do not use braid, the steering wheel loses its appearance, as it is constantly in contact with your hands;
Tuning
is another case when it is still necessary to remove the installed steering wheel;
Also, the steering wheel can be dismantled if repairs are necessary, during which this part will interfere. For example, when replacing a column, you simply cannot do without removing the steering wheel. It can also interfere with some types of work with a panel or dashboard.

VAZ 2107 steering wheel

The steering wheel is connected to the steering gearbox through an intermediate shaft. The entire steering design is designed to transfer the rotational force of the steering wheel shaft into a similar rotational force of the bipod shaft. When the steering gear lever turns and the steering linkage is applied, the front wheels rotate.

Steering mechanism VAZ 2107: 1. Lateral linkage. 2. Bipod. 3. Medium traction. 4. Pendulum lever. 5. Adjustment clutch. 6. Lower ball joint. 7. Right rotary fist. 8. Upper ball joint. 9. Right steering knuckle arm. 10. Bracket for the pendulum lever. 11. Right body spar. 12. Oil filler plug. 13. Steering gear housing. 14. Steering shaft. 15. Steering shaft facing casing. 16. Steering wheel.17. Upper support tube of the steering shaft. 18. Steering shaft bracket. 19. Left body spar. 20. Turnbuckles for adjusting coupling. 21. Left rotary knuckle

A car steering wheel is a frame with a hub, rim and spokes. On the VAZ 2107, the steering wheel has 4 spokes, and the rim itself is made of special rubber. The steering wheel size on this car is 400 mm. This diameter is quite large by today's standards, but turning the steering wheel is not difficult. There is a pressure element on the steering wheel that allows you to turn on the sound signal.

The standard VAZ 2107 steering wheel has 4 spokes and a rim diameter of 400 mm

Is it possible to install from another car?

The steering wheel on the VAZ 2107 differs from the steering wheel of the same “penny” or “six” in its more attractive appearance and comfortable grip. If for some reason the standard steering wheel does not suit you, there are options for replacing it with a part from other cars:

"Kalina", "Priora", VAZ 2115;
products from Chinese manufacturers;
steering wheels from the “sport” category of such well-known brands as Sparco, Momo, etc.

The steering wheel from the Priora in the interior of the Seven looks pretty nice

It is not recommended to install products from unknown Chinese manufacturers on classic rear-wheel drive Zhiguli cars. This is explained by the fact that such cars are not equipped with a rack, but with a steering gear with a worm mechanism. The absence of hydraulic or electric power steering means that sometimes quite a lot of force must be applied to the steering wheel. When installing a low-quality product, there is a possibility that at some point you will be left with the steering wheel in your hands, which will lead to undesirable consequences.

Therefore, when choosing a steering wheel, attention should be paid not only to aesthetics, convenience and ergonomics. The steering wheel must also meet safety requirements

You can be confident in the quality of parts from the Togliatti Automobile Plant and well-known European brands, since all products of these manufacturers are tested.

Sports

The sports steering wheel was initially used only in rallies, i.e. for its intended purpose. However, some owners of “Sevens” install such a steering wheel in order to modify their car, to make it different from the standard. Installing a sports steering wheel has the following advantages:

space is saved due to the smaller size of the product;
the small size of the steering wheel improves the ability to maneuver at higher speeds;
attractive appearance.

A sports steering wheel is installed as a tuning element

Of the minuses it is worth noting:

high probability of buying a low-quality part;
automatic turn off of turn signals will not function;
the need to purchase a special adapter;
there is a possibility of being refused a technical inspection.

Not everyone likes the classic VAZ steering wheel because of its size. However, it is worth considering that installing a sports steering wheel is not a cheap pleasure.

Adapter for mounting a sports steering wheel

Wood

There are owners of Zhiguli and other “classics” who strive to give the salon a special style and comfort. Therefore, instead of a standard steering wheel, they install a wooden product. This steering wheel is similar in spokes and size to a sports steering wheel, but the rim itself is made of wood. The detail in the interior of the cabin looks quite attractive.

Installing a wooden steering wheel allows you to give the car interior a special style

Steering device

In terms of its design, the VAZ steering is a fairly simple, but technically sophisticated mechanism. Its most interesting part is the steering linkage, which consists of a very large number of levers and rods. In appearance, the steering mechanism of the VAZ 2105 is quite flimsy, but in fact it can withstand even very difficult road conditions. The design is not so archaic; the VAZ steering column has a special plate, thanks to which the shaft, consisting of several stages, folds in the event of an accident, and the steering wheel does not injure the driver. The worm gear of the VAZ gearbox and the lever system significantly reduce the effort that the driver spends on turning the wheel. Despite this, driving a “five”, or any other “classic”, requires considerable physical strength.

Inside the steering column of the “five” there is a cardan transmission that leads to the gearbox. The VAZ steering shaft crosspiece is used for connection. The entire mechanism is quite reliable and can withstand very long runs. All parts are made from high quality steel and are carefully inspected before assembly or sale. Thanks to this, there are very few accidents of Lada cars due to complete failure of the steering, and repair of load-bearing parts is required only in case of serious damage.

This is the unit

The most complex part of the mechanism is the steering gear, which is based on a worm gear. Since the worm gear is initially characterized by gaps and is subject to wear, a special adjusting bolt is built into the gearbox housing. It presses the bipod shaft, preventing gaps from causing the wheel to wobble.

The steering gear mechanism is in an oil bath, thereby reducing its wear. Regular transmission oil, an analogue of TAD-17, is poured into the gearbox. The steering rods of the “five” are mounted on hinges protected by rubber boots. The steering does not require constant injection and lubrication, but it is necessary to periodically inspect the boots for integrity. To assemble or disassemble the rods, you will need special pullers; you can make them yourself.

How does an electric booster work?

The electric power steering on the VAZ-2107 starts to work and creates additional torque, which reduces the force required to turn the wheels. Moreover, it begins to work simultaneously with the driver turning the steering wheel. The device is able to reduce the load required to turn the steering wheel by 5.7 times.

In other words, if you applied a force of 20 kg before installing the device, then after that only 3.5 kg will be enough for a similar action. Stages of device operation:

Using a torque sensor, it is determined in which direction the driver rotates the steering wheel.
The control unit allows you to read all data related to engine speed and vehicle speed.
Using an electric motor, the propeller shaft of the steering mechanism rotates. As a result, the force required to turn the steering wheel is reduced.

Using a speed sensor, a normal relationship is ensured between the gain of the device and the intensity of vehicle traffic. If the speed is low, it becomes harder to turn the steering wheel. Therefore, the control unit understands that the gain needs to be increased. Conversely, if you are moving at high speed, then you need to apply less force. Therefore, the electric power steering is not involved in steering.

The device starts operating 5 seconds after the driver turns on the ignition. If suddenly any breakdown occurs in the electric amplifier, the automatic control system will turn it off, as a result the car will be switched to manual mode. This ensures 100% safety in case the device suddenly breaks down. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your life.

Introduction

The model range of the Volzhsky plant contains a lot of excellent VAZ models, among which are 2114, 2110, 2112, as well as 2109 and 2107. The Seven, VAZ-2107, is considered a truly classic model, but other options also have a lot of their advantages. A comfortable interior, anatomical seats for comfortable sitting of both the driver and passengers, armrests in certain models - all this is designed to give the person in the car more comfort and convenience. The steering wheel has a special place in all these models. It can be either with three or four spokes. If you have to remove the steering wheel to service the car or due to wear of any part, then this is not difficult to do.

How to remove the steering wheel from the “six”

Removing the steering wheel in a VAZ 2106 is very simple, but there are some nuances. The entire dismantling procedure will take a few minutes: you need to follow clear rules, otherwise you can make mistakes.

The method for removing the steering wheel is the same for almost all passenger cars that do not have airbags (the VAZ 2106 is not equipped with them). Some differences in dismantling may be associated only with the fastening parameters of the steering wheel elements, but this is not significant.

The steering wheel on the VAZ 2106 is fixed to the steering shaft using one large nut. Access to the fixation point can be obtained through a special hole, which is located in the signal button (in the central part of the steering wheel itself).

As mentioned above, initially the “sixes” were equipped with thin steering wheels, while later models were equipped with thick ones. Today there are practically no old cars left, so let’s look at the process of dismantling a thick steering wheel.

What tools will you need?

Even a novice car owner can remove the steering wheel from a VAZ 2106. It is enough to have with you:

a screwdriver with a thin flat blade;
24 mm head;
head extension.

Dismantling procedure

Having prepared the necessary tools and making sure that nothing will distract you from work, you can begin to remove the steering wheel:

Sit in the driver's seat in the cabin. Use a screwdriver to pry the AvtoVAZ logo badge in the center of the steering wheel and remove it.

Disconnect the battery, as there is voltage in the steering wheel, and the contacts may short out during operation. Using a 24 mm socket and an extension, loosen the fastening nut through the resulting hole. It makes no sense to completely unscrew the nut, otherwise the steering wheel may suddenly jump out.

Having loosened the nut, you need to try to remove the steering wheel from the slot, pulling it towards you with both hands. If this does not work, you should forcefully strike the steering wheel several times from the back side.

It is important that the nut remains on the shaft and does not fly out along with the steering wheel.

As soon as the steering wheel is freed from the splines securing it and begins to move, the nut can be unscrewed completely and pulled out. After this, the steering wheel itself will freely come out of the groove.

The new steering wheel is mounted in the reverse order: first, the wheel is put on the shaft splines, and then tightened with a nut.

We remove the Chevrolet Epica steering wheel carefully and quickly

The first thing to do is to remove the negative terminal from the battery before disconnecting the connectors . You can start working only 5-10 minutes after switching off . The fact is that the airbag control unit has a built-in capacitor (or several).

It is necessary so that the airbags can work even if the battery is torn off or destroyed during an accident . To do this, you need to pause before dismantling the pillow.

If we have realized all the responsibility and prepared the electrical equipment for dismantling the pillow, the rest is a matter of technology.

Using a Torx T50 corner wrench, unscrew the airbag mount to the steering wheel frame. These are two screws on either side of the steering wheel.

After this, carefully lift the cushion and slowly remove it from the steering wheel housing.

We see two trails of wires. The first, thinnest one is the audio signal wires. Feel free to turn them off.

The second cable, in a rigid braid, is the wires that go directly to the airbag, to the squib.

The terminal blocks are secured with a latch that must be pulled back to disconnect the connector. We do this carefully.

The airbag can be removed and placed to the side to avoid damage.

The central nut of the steering wheel is unscrewed with a 22 mm socket . We fix the steering wheel using any convenient method and remove the nut, but there is no need to unscrew it completely.

The steering wheel cannot be easily removed from the steering column splines. It needs to be knocked down, which is highly desirable, or a puller can be used.

If there is no puller (and usually there is none), we use the old method - we use a spacer made of soft metal (brass, bronze, aluminum, copper, gold or silver, whichever one you have) against the nut.

By gently hitting the spacer with a hammer and simultaneously applying pressure on the steering wheel with your knees from the back, we knock the steering wheel off the dead center. The steering wheel will not pop out of the splines because the nut is not completely unscrewed.

When the steering wheel gives way, you can completely unscrew the nut.

We bend the cable clamps and move the wires to the side.

It is imperative to put marks on the end of the steering column and on the steering wheel frame , so that later you can install it strictly in the position in which it was installed. It’s better to put marks with a marker ; if you don’t have one, scratch or mark the steering wheel and column, but doing this is extremely undesirable. Better marker.

That's it, you can carefully remove the steering wheel, being careful not to damage any of the cable's wires.

If you need to remove the automatic transmission selector handle on a Chevrolet Epica, take a T15 bit and unscrew the two screws located on the front side of the handle.

DIY generator repair

A common type of repair of VAZ 2104 units is the elimination of breakdowns associated with the car’s generator. Malfunctions are divided into three groups.

Incorrect belt tension adjustment.
Belt failure.
Damage to the generator itself.

The belt in the VAZ 2104 engine passes through 3 pulleys: the generator itself, the crankshaft and the coolant supply pump shaft. The correct degree of belt tension can be checked by measuring the free deflection of the belt between the crankshaft and water pump pulleys. The deflection is measured with the engine not running, in the middle of the belt span between the pulleys. The standard value is 10–12 mm. If the deflection is higher than normal, repairs are necessary: the belt is tightened.

You can do this kind of work yourself. To do this, loosen the nut securing the generator to the adjusting bar. Move it away from the engine crankcase until the belt tension is restored to normal.

To repair the generator yourself you will need:

portable multimeter;
three-jaw puller;
a soft metal drift for pressing out the front and rear bearings;
mandrel for pressing bearings;
set of keys and screwdrivers.

During the repair, you will probably have to grind off the pierced ends of the bolts securing the front bearing cover with a grinder. You will need a fully equipped locksmith workshop. There are craftsmen who can rewind a burnt-out stator winding, but this is an activity for fans of VAZ 2104 repair. You will spend more money on the wire than on purchasing a used generator from disassembly. And you don’t need a new one: your car is “old,” well-worn. It's unlikely to survive the new generator.

Replacing a broken unit yourself is the maximum you can claim without professional experience and special equipment for repairs.

Types of power steering

If you decide to equip your car with an amplifier, then you have several options - expensive and cheaper:

Power steering for the VAZ 2107 is a more expensive option. Such a system consists of a pump, supply lines, a pipe and a reservoir for working fluid. In this case, the working fluid is oil, which is under pressure in the system. The installation procedure is quite complex, like the design of the system itself, and the car owner will also have to periodically maintain the system. As practice and prices on the automotive market show, there is no point in installing such a unit, since its cost is almost half the price of a used 2107.
A cheaper and more suitable option for the “seven” is an electric booster. In practice, this unit allows you to cope well with the load placed on it, especially since its installation is simpler. In fact, the electric power steering works on the “seven” almost as efficiently as the hydraulic booster. It should be noted that the main advantage of such a system is the absence of the need for regular maintenance. The EUR on a VAZ is connected to the on-board network, since its operation requires 12-volt voltage.

Standard steering wheel VAZ 2106

The first generation of the VAZ 2106, which left the factory assembly line in 1976, became a turning point in the development of the entire domestic automotive industry. The model was successful by many standards, but it was not without significant drawbacks.

So, the steering wheel can be considered a big disadvantage of the “six” (even by the standards of that time). It was made of cheap rubber, and therefore constantly slipped out of the driver’s hands while driving. In addition, the large diameter and very thin rim did not allow the driver to feel comfortable behind the wheel. On later “six” models, the designers eliminated the main drawback of the steering wheel and made it slightly smaller in diameter and thicker for easy grip.

The thin steering wheel did not provide maximum comfort in driving

The classic steering wheel for VAZ has a diameter of 350 mm

Replacement

The replacement procedure is quite simple. Especially if you have prepared the connecting elements in advance and acquired a puller.

Using a jack, lift one of the sides where you will begin to change the tips.
Turn the steering wheel to such an extent that it is convenient for you to replace damaged elements.
Treat the elements again with a penetrating liquid.
Unscrew the fastening nut.
Remove the tip from the steering knuckle hole. Here you just need a puller or the traditional old-fashioned method using a sledgehammer.
Check the condition of the steering rods. Sometimes it is better to replace them in the first couple of wears. Besides, you still got into this knot.
Replace damaged tips with new ones.
Perform the reassembly procedure.

Before returning it to its place, make sure that the paronite gasket is in good condition, and if necessary, replace it.
Having put it in place, turn the crankshaft clockwise so that the chain is tensioned, and then release the plunger by unscrewing the nut. After this, tighten the tensioner nut again.

The tensioner replacement operation is completed.

Installing power steering

If a motorist wants to install power steering on a VAZ-2107 with his own hands, which the manufacturer did not consider necessary to install in one of the most budget cars in the whole world, he can take one of two possible paths. Firstly, you can select the optimal steering rack that has power steering and then decide on its further location in the car. True, such an action will require enormous labor and money. Secondly, which is more expedient, you can buy a ready-made kit at an auto parts store that allows you to perform all possible most useful manipulations on the stationary steering rack.

The purchased power steering for a VAZ-2107 will consist of many parts: a pump, a pulley, a steering gear, a hydraulic cylinder, an expansion tank and a hose system.

To install power steering on a VAZ-2107, you need to start with a pump, through which pumping is carried out and a certain pressure is created in the unit. This pump must be placed on the cylinder block, since it will operate due to a belt drive. The next step is to determine where to install the crankshaft pulley. Then the steering gear is replaced. The car owner should check the size of the purchased device in advance, since it will most likely differ from the factory analogue, which may require modification of the installation location of the device.

When installing power steering in your car, you should pay close attention to the hydraulic cylinder, which should be located in the car according to the instructions. Further modernization consists of the location of the expansion tank and the sequential connection of a set of parts with high-pressure hoses. The installed reservoir must be equipped with a special fluid intended directly for the power steering. As a result of the manipulation, it is worth pumping the system.
