- Sa video na ito, makikita kung paano pansamantalang mag-adjust ng steering rack preload.
This video shows how to temporarily adjust the steering rack preload.
- tie rods and rack ends are in good condition - Авто та транспорт
What size kitty is required for this adjustment?
Lol
sir ung sakin tumatabingi po sa ang manibela, pinatuwid qna po pero bumabalik parin tabingi. yan po ba ung inaadjust?
Hindi po yan ang inaadjust. Baka po hindi naka-align ang tire nyo kaya tumatabingi ang manebela. Tie rod po ang inaadjust pag ganun.
Same boss. Lumilipat left-to-right right-to-left. Tuwid naman takbo ng auto ko.
May nakita na po kayo solution boss? Napagawa nyo na po?
Gumagalaw ung rack boss pag nilalaro mo ung manibela.Bushing daw boss ng rack ang papalalitan
@@renatoburaga4748 Oo, pweding sira ang bushing nyan.
Do not do this. If your rack has a dead zone, and you increase preload, you increase the chance of binding up the rack once outside of your “dead zone”
You only do this on new racks, that come out of adjustment.
You only do this if you have a “constant” tightness or looseness from lock to lock that isn’t variable.
Basically, you should never do this. That’s not there for you to take up the slack from wearing your rack down. Thats there because of how a rack and pinion works.
UA-cam is the perfect example of “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”
Is there any reason not to set it back to manufacturer spec on older worn racks?
Mine has the same play all throughout the rack, at all points. Would it be okay to give tightening it a go?
Something to note, it only occurs with weight on the wheels. When in the air, there is no play whatsoever.
if anyone cant find the tool he used for adjustment just go to hardware store and get a nut that fit inside then use channel locks on half the exposed nut
Clever idea thanks
Ace thanks!
good thing you got yourself an inspector🐈⬛
I love the shop help you keep around. It makes a word of a difference to have a meowing good apprentice lol
I dont know man, but most of the the mechanic asked me to change the rack, it is like they dont even know or at least try to adjust this
Yeah, try to adjust first before changing the rack.
That means mechanics on your city trained from vulcanizing shops 😂 you saw that piece of metal he pulled out shaped like a crescent shape metal. That half moon thing thins out overtime thus there would be an allowance. Grease thins out too. This is a maintenance adjustment that evry mechanic should know.. its like tightening the serpentine belt on the engine when it thins out and starts squeeking.. you dont replace the belt right away just adjust the tension in the belt. Duh
Glad I don't need to rent a cat for this job... Excellent video! Many thanks! I believe this is causing a loud CLUMP noise when I turn my wheels to far right... It looks like two metal pieces jumping or clashing... I might be a pinion tooth sliding and jumping over the rack teeth... It would sound EXACTLY like what I am having on my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2006. Thanks a lot!
Great video! Just what i was looking for.
May i suggest turning your pliers the other way around to where the lower jaw is the bottom pressure application point on the nut rather than the top.
For instance, when loosening (counter-clockwise) and tightening (clockwise) the lower jaw should always be leading the turn (being the shorter jaw applying pressure) and the upper jaw is always lagging the turn (being the longer jaw as the grabbing point).
Just some constructive criticism - food for thought.
Honestly good video got a cat that likes to help to. Video makes sense
Never mind my adjustment pad is cramed behind the frame, fuckin dumb, not really accessible
Took a lot of searching to find a video about this for some reason thank you for having one and with a whole bunch of cats which is kind of cool LOL
Glad you found it helpful! The cats love to be part of the action :D
Cat is very important for this procedure
Thank you sa pusa na tinuruan ka mg ayos ng steering rack 😅😅
To make sure job is well done. Cats are absolully necessary..😅
White cat needs gloves or a different job. Good to count the turns on the nut when removing so to know where point "a" was. Thanks for the vid.
My mechanic did this and im still getting alot of clunk noise only over bumpy roads. What should i do. All other suspension bushings and parts are good
It might be a good idea to get a second opinion from another mechanic.
What is the tool you are using to remove the adjustment screw?
The tool is a vise grip.
Vice grip tool name
Mechanic cat
What if I dont have kitten approval... will it still be ok?
As long as the car’s running, you should be fine without kitten approval 😸
For Lexus ES350 / Toyota Camry adjustment I used 44771 M16-2.00 Metric Hex Coupling Nut
Thanks good video. Some racks have a backlsh adjustment too.
thank you sir its help a lot God bless po.
Thanks Alot
Boss anu twag jn mag order po Sana Ako pang hi ace cumuter
cat inspector : )
😹
Now that's a well explained example
I'm trying to pull out that crescent piece that pushes against the rack and it won't budge. Any suggestions?
I used alligator pliers to remove it 1:01.
This actually makes a difference ... Thanks
The cat. Came to inspect
What is the tool you are using to tighten the rack and pinion? Thanks
The tool is a tubular spanner or spark plug socket wrench. The sets can be seen at this time 1:26.
Tub socket set
@da64wdiy what size did you end up using?
The closest reference I got was a 10 year old forum of a guy using a 24mm hex bit!
All the tubular spanner sets I see only go up to 22mm and my calipers don't fit lol I'd hate to buy a whole set just to find the size or find out 22mm isn't big enough 😂
Definitely wouldn't be my first time though, there's a reason I buy metric tools and metric cars! I don't wanna double my tools I got too many in just metric 😅
Pag naliko ako kaliwa or kanan may clunking possible maluwag lang po ba talaga?
Baka hindi lang loose parts ang problema. Mas magandang i-check ang suspension, CV joints, o manibela ng sasakyan mo. Para sure, dalhin mo na sa mekaniko para masuri ng maayos.
This bolt fixed click in the low speed ?I replace tie end but not noise stay
Could be a cv joint on you're axle. Does it click during tight low speed cornering
What type of grease did you use ? Thanks
I used grease 3.
Manual steering rack is the same for all ef models?
I'm not sure.
Us just regular lubricant or special one?
I used grease 3.
straight to the point! thanks
What kind of grease should we need?
I used grease 3.
My steering is tight. Should I loosen the adjustment a bit?
You can try it and compare the differences.
So any update sir?did you fix it?
I had a serious bad klunk in a new rebuilt R&P. with 500 miles on it. The installer gave up on this noise. Sounded like the wheel was gonna break off on a turn.
So I got the front wheels off the ground, turned that nut in about a 2/3 turn and backed off. Most of that klunking was gone now and the steering was nice and tight. But the damage was done from all the klunking done by loose gears skipping from a loose setting. And so had to replace the R&P again. This time I got a Toyota factory rebuilt one. And this time I knew what to do if there was anymore Klunks. Sure enough even with a Toyota factory rebuild R&P there was that klunk. The same shop gave up again. I was like whatever. I got home...jacked up the Truck right away, before the R&P gears got damaged again. Sure enough the setting was way too loose. I turned that nut in 2/3 turn, backed off slightly and waalaaa !!
Nice' n Tight... Rack and Pinion and No...more... gear klunks !!
Funny and crazy thing was how the shop would laugh about UA-camr fix it videos that people watch !!! Well this Vid. done what bench shops and shops wouldn't do...set them gears firm and snug. Loose settings is not good at all. They just replace the racks.
Thanks again.
What car?
Can be applied to any vehicle.
Ilang mm po yung hex po? Salamat
Set po kasi yung tools, di malinaw dun sa label kung anong size. 14mm nung sinukat ko gamit ang digital caliper.
Pwede po ba 'to sa hydraulic power steering? Salamat po in advance
Pwede po sir.
What kind of grease do you use and what is the tool to remove the screw?
I used grease 3 and the tool is spark plug wrench set.
