Repair kits and steering rack belts

When to change the belt

The steering rack belt can become unusable for a number of reasons. The most common of them:

• natural wear and tear of the original product;
• erasure of the inner gear part, as a result of which the teeth no longer provide the necessary grip with the gears;
• rupture of the belt due to a strong blow to the wheel;
• incorrect installation during repair.

A sign that the steering rack belt is out of order is the behavior of the steering wheel. If it spins arbitrarily and does not affect the position of the wheels, then it is necessary to replace the belt.

How to choose and change a belt

The choice of spare part affects the correct functioning of the vehicle and the safety of its driving. The belt must have a length that is structurally appropriate to the given one, be made of high-quality rubber. The teeth of the inner surface must be located at a certain angle of inclination in order to ensure reliable engagement with the gears. Compliance with these parameters will allow you to choose the right part.

• You can install a new belt yourself in several stages:
• first you need to remove the remnants of the old belt and clean the seating surfaces;
• place a new spare part in the seat, grease the cover with silicone for better sealing and close it;
• to diagnose the correct placement of the part.
