In the rear lower part of the engine compartment there is a steering mechanism, the gear rack of which is protected at both ends by black synthetic cuffs. They need to be checked regularly. The crease of the cuff with cracks allows moisture and dust to pass into the steering gear, and this mixture, combined with the lubricant, forms a kind of abrasive paste that severely damages the rack guide and steering gear. Timely verification will save money:
Order of execution
1. Stretch the crease with your hands or turn the steering wheel to the right in order to find cracks in the cuff.
2. Whether both hose clamps are firmly seated at the ends of the cuff.
