How to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2109

I found the correct original steering wheel 2108 new and dealer with export 2108 Raid made in Italy 1992 (leather) I thought about it, but decided to leave everything stock, so I’m selling it. see below

1. Steering wheels are standard.

1) The standard VAZ2110 steering wheel on the high panel always infuriated me

it migrated to the factory due to unification in production on both 21083 and 2113,14,15, but this is not stock for a high panel with an electronic tidy and the design does not break at all, it was decided to install the original correct wheel from the first releases of the high panel.

2) I found the original 2108 steering wheel, new, thanks to thebestofmyself for fitting it.

3) It’s a pity, this is not the most stock for a high panel, but of two evils they choose the lesser, the original steering wheel 21083-3402012 was small-scale (thanks to semyon894 and Vinylius for the information. If you have it, write:

4) Samara2 generally should have its own steering wheel, but unification, etc., etc. in general, rarely, but at the factory they sometimes installed such a steering wheel in the spirit of biodesign:

Lada Baltic
steering wheels were installed in Finnish production with a cushion from Vagov cars.

I wanted to plug it in, but decided to leave the stock steering wheel. I've seen this steering wheel on different Volts, Italy, 1992. with adapter 2108 - selling. The center pad is removed.

A couple of photos of steering wheels with a similar design:

There was also a 3-spoke Raid also with a removable central cover:

Adapter

As mentioned earlier, an adapter is required to install a sports steering wheel, and I considered it necessary to describe this point in more detail. There are usually a lot of problems with adapters quite often. Because to install a sports steering wheel on a VAZ you need different adapters. By different, I mean different for different brands.

For VAZ 2109 you need an adapter BOSS KIT NO:802. This adapter is also suitable for VAZ 2108 and VAZ 2199. This adapter has a black plastic casing, a screwdriver and six bolts. This is where we can finish talking about adapters. Standard steering wheel or sports steering wheel. It's time to discuss sports steering wheels and standard ones. Talk about their advantages and disadvantages. Let's start with sports steering wheels. Pros:

Material. Sports steering wheels are made of high-quality and lightweight materials. Despite their lightness, the steering wheels are very durable and will last for many years. The same should be said about pseudo sports steering wheels. They are made from more affordable materials.
Certificates. Sports steering wheels are tested for safety. It must withstand a three-ton blow and at the same time only bend, but not break.
Smaller size. The sports steering wheel is smaller, which will provide greater maneuvering speed.
Its appearance is much more beautiful than the standard one.

Now that you know about the advantages of a sports steering wheel, we can talk about its disadvantages.

Minuses:

Price. High-quality materials, confidence in safety and beauty cost a lot of money.
When installed on a VAZ, the turn signal auto-off function may not work.
An adapter is required for installation.
You may not be able to pass the technical inspection.
And lastly, there is danger in case of an accident. The safety certificate was mentioned above, but it is worth remembering that the sports steering wheel is quite hard.

These are the advantages and disadvantages of a sports steering wheel. Now let's talk about the standard steering wheel. There is no need to purchase this steering wheel and it is already installed. Although, these are not even advantages, but simply logical conclusions.

Pros: 1. Security. The stock steering wheel is checked. 2. A standard steering wheel is much cheaper than a sports steering wheel and it is much easier to buy. 3. Installation does not require additional materials such as an adapter. This is where the advantages of the standard steering wheel end and the disadvantages begin.

Cons: 1. Appearance. This steering wheel doesn't look very nice. size 2. The entry-level steering wheel takes up a lot of space and is not as comfortable as the sport steering wheel. 3. Material. Conventional steering wheels are made from more affordable materials. This is where the shortcomings should end. Choose which one you need more. It is worth mentioning the third type of steering wheels. Pseudo-sports steering wheels. Let's look at this view too.

Pros: 1. Availability. You can buy a steering wheel like this anywhere. 2. Price. This item costs much less than the natural one. 3. Beauty. If you buy such a steering wheel, then only for the sake of beauty.

Cons: 1. Materials. They are also made from more accessible and cheaper materials. 2. Safety certificate. It simply doesn't exist. It is impossible to predict what will happen to the steering wheel during an accident. 3. An adapter is required for installation. 4. Again, you may not pass the technical inspection. 5. The automatic turn-off of the turnbuckles may not work.

This is where the disadvantages of the steering wheel end. How are they different? 1. Appearance. Sports steering wheels are smaller, prettier and more maneuverable. 2. Material. Sports steering wheel made of higher quality materials. Precisely sports, not pseudo-sports. 3. Price. A sports steering wheel costs more than a regular steering wheel. 4. Certificate. The certifications for the steering wheels are different, but you should be sure that it is safe, as opposed to a pseudo-sporty one. 5. Installation. As mentioned above, replacing a regular steering wheel is easier. Although replacing the steering wheel is not that difficult, you do not need to look for and buy an adapter. This is where the differences end. Basically, it is more difficult to buy a real sports steering wheel than a pseudo or regular one and the price is higher, but the quality is worth it.

Varieties of materials for steering wheel braids

Today, the Russian markets offer a huge number of steering wheel braids of the most varied designs and quality. There are even handmade braids, so to speak, designer options that do not fall under the general classification. One of the main points in the question of how to choose a braid for the steering wheel is the selection of a suitable material from which the braid is made. Let's look at the most common materials:

Leather. It is considered the most expensive and durable material. Indeed, leather braiding will last a relatively long time without losing its qualities. However, this material also has disadvantages: the skin becomes quite cold in winter. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will be able to drive a car comfortably without preheating the interior or using gloves.
Leatherette, leatherette or other inexpensive material. Here, a lot depends on the quality of the braid, the reliability of the firmware and gluing, as well as additional reinforcing and decorative inserts. Often leatherette braids last no more than two years of active use of the car. After this period, their appearance and structure are irretrievably lost.
Fabric or plush. This material plays more of a decorative role than a practical one. The main advantage is a comfortable ride in cold weather. Fabric-based materials keep your hands warm in winter. The main disadvantage is rapid contamination and loss of attractive appearance. Not suitable for aggressive or sporty riding.
Rubber material with foam or leather inserts. An interesting layout that many drivers love. It is distinguished by the pliability of foam rubber, which takes the shape of hands, and elasticity. This is noted by many drivers as a very convenient feature.

Each of these materials is created for its target audience and has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is impossible to say unequivocally that some material is better and another worse. It all depends on the properties and durability required by the end user.

What is power steering VAZ 2109

On the first models of VAZ 2109 cars, power steering was not installed. The driver has to mount the unit additionally. It consists of two parts:

The source of energy, its role is played by a hydraulic pump.
An actuating mechanism that is usually combined with the steering rack. The general view of the device is shown in the photo.

Installation of power steering VAZ 2109

Before mass use of the device, manufacturers tested the car, which showed:

When moving the car with numerous turns in a limited space, the steering wheel rotated easily; it was necessary to turn it at a smaller angle than on a car without power steering.
When driving around the city, after a little skill, the driver only gets pleasure from driving the car.

Tip: When turning the steering wheel at a larger angle than the driver expects, the power steering allows the steering wheel to be turned to the desired angle, the car will easily fit into a smaller radius.

When driving on a free area, the number of steering wheel turns is three and a half from one stop to the other, with the hydraulic booster three and one third are enough.
A change in the steering gear ratio led to more precise vehicle control.
The steering works well at very low speeds in parking mode. Very little effort is applied to the steering wheel.
Excellent results were obtained when moving at extreme conditions. Increasing speed resulted in a slight increase in steering effort, but feedback was good.

How to install power steering on a VAZ 2109

Instructions on how to install power steering on a VAZ 2109 indicate what is needed:

Purchase a power steering kit, with all the components: a pump, a special steering gear, a pulley, a hydraulic cylinder, an expansion tank and hoses that can withstand high pressure.
The pump fixation bracket is installed on the BC head. When installing it, the product needs to be modified: the engine mount is unscrewed, the ears for attaching it are sawed off, the far right mount is sawed off so that it does not interfere.

Installing a bracket to fix the pump

Instead of the generator, the pump itself is mounted on a bracket.
The crankshaft pulley is being replaced; the pump will be driven through it.

Advice: It is necessary to take into account that the drive should not go through the chain, but only through the belt.

The steering gearbox is being replaced.

Tip: When installing a new gearbox, you will need to modify the place where it will be mounted. To do this: a hole is cut in the front end shield and the bipod is modified.

A location is selected for the expansion tank so that it does not interfere with other parts of the engine.
The hydraulic cylinder is installed according to the instructions included in the power steering kit. Each device manufacturer has its own installation features.
The entire system is connected by high-pressure hoses and is well fixed.

Tip: It is necessary to ensure that the hoses cannot rub against other elements located under the hood.

Special power steering oil is poured into the expansion tank.
The system is being pumped. In this case, the steering wheel turns all the way left and right; if necessary, you need to add oil to the expansion tank.
When the liquid stops leaving, you need to replenish the oil level to the top mark of the tank.
On a VAZ 2109 car, the installation of the hydraulic booster ends with bleeding the system.

The advantages of the VAZ 2109 with hydraulic booster can be seen in the video.

Removal

You should start by removing the decorative trim located on the steering wheel. It is simply pryed off with a screwdriver and removed. In newer cars the trim is made up of two parts. The second part is held on by self-tapping screws. To dismantle they must be unscrewed.

Next we move on to removing the steering wheel. Be sure to mark the position of the splines. This will help you install the steering wheel back correctly.

After this, unscrew the steering wheel mounting nut. To get started, just make a couple of revolutions. After this, we take the steering wheel with both hands, rock it a little and sharply pull it towards ourselves. This is usually enough for it to jump off the splines. Next, the nut is completely unscrewed and the entire steering wheel is removed. In general, there is nothing complicated here.

Attention!

Do not try to rip off the steering wheel with the nut completely screwed in; a steering wheel that comes off the splines can cause serious injury.

Steering wheel models

Below is a list of sports steering wheel models. Remember that for a sports steering wheel you need an adapter, and the one I provided is suitable for VAZ 2108, 2109 and VAZ 2199. I will immediately name a list of models, and below will be their description. PROSPORT and F1 SPORT. There will be five F1 SPORT models.

1. COSMOS. The steering wheel model comes with red inserts. The diameter of this model is 310 mm. The model is made from quality materials and has a certificate. 2. The F1 SPORT brand steering wheel has a diameter of 315 mm, which is not much larger than the previous model. At the same time, there is a yellow insert, backlight and chrome buttons. The surface of the steering wheel is a little rough. This makes it comfortable and non-slip. This model is also certified. 3. The second model of the steering wheel of the F1 SPORT brand. It has the same diameter as the previous model. The surface of the steering wheel is no different from that of the previous one. Color black with red signal buttons. The steering wheel has a certificate. 4.

That's all ladies and gentlemen. I hope the article was informative and helped you.

Hi all. Quite a long time ago I installed an adjustable steering column, but I couldn’t install the cover because of the old steering wheel, so I didn’t write about it in the blog. With the new steering wheel I was able to install a cover and now I’m not ashamed to share it with you.

So what do we need. Firstly, a new steering column, there are 3 types of them, the first is the oldest from 2110, it looks like this:

Second most popular from 2114

These columns 2110-2114 differ from each other only in the shape of the handle.

Well, the third option is a column from 2110 with a guru.

I honestly took a photo of the speakers from Captain-Smollett

So I took the very first speaker for myself as long as the casing fits it perfectly on the high panel.

According to the installations, no problems, we remove the old one, install a new one, placing a couple of washers between the column and the body.

That's all for installation. Photos of the finished result.

Steering of a VAZ 2109 car

On a VAZ 2109 car, the steering wheel is controlled by a rack and pinion mechanism and a damping element on the steering wheel. The diagram shows:

1 — bracket fixing the steering mechanism.
2 — node supports.
3 — steering mechanism.
4 - sealing ring.
5 - elastic coupling flange.
6 - bolt for tie.
7 - shaft for steering.
8 - upper part of the casing for cladding.
9 — steering wheel with damper.
10 - bearing.
11 — bracket for fixing the steering shaft.
12 - lower part of the casing for cladding.
13—steering rod.
14 — outer steering rod end.
15 — spring ring.
16 — cap for protection.
17 — ring for sealing.

Tip: You can increase the service life of the ball joint elements of the rods by lubricating the joints with TM-5-18 transmission lubricant. To do this, the anthers of the ball joints of the steering links are pierced with a medical syringe, and lubricant 1 cm 3 is injected into each joint. The hole pierced by the syringe needle is very small and after the operation is completed it is tightened with the rubber of the boot.

1) First, remove the “-” terminal from the battery. (How to remove the “-” terminal from a battery, see the article: “Replacing the battery”, point “1”)

2) Then, for a more convenient replacement of the steering wheel, remove the steering column cover. (How to remove the column cover, see the article: “Replacing steering wheel switches” in paragraph “2-4”)

3) Then use a screwdriver to pry up the longitudinal trim “LADA”, and then remove it from the steering wheel of the car.

4) Next, when the cover is removed, use the screwdriver again and unscrew the two screws securing the cover.

5) And then remove the cover from the steering wheel of the car.

6) Next, using an extension or a socket wrench, loosen the central nut securing the car’s steering wheel.

After you loosen the steering wheel fastening nut, immediately use a marker to mark the position of the steering wheel on the shaft so that when you reinstall the steering wheel, its position is not disturbed!

HOW TO REMOVE THE STEERING STEERING on a nine (VAZ-2109, 2108, 21099, etc.)

Somehow I needed to remove the steering wheel

on a car with system nine, also known as
VAZ
-2109, so at the same time I decided to file this...

VAZ 2108,2109,2110 how to unscrew the steering wheel?

See how to quickly and easily remove the steering wheel

,in almost 2 minutes.

7) Now that you have the mark on the shaft set, then proceed to removing the steering wheel from the splines, to do this, hit the back of the steering wheel with your hand, and as a result, the steering wheel will come off.

If the steering wheel sits very firmly on the shaft, then use the help of an assistant, ask him to pull the steering wheel towards you, and at this time you apply a soft metal drift to the end of the steering shaft, and then hit the end with a hammer, and the steering wheel will come off the splines!

And at the end of the operation, completely unscrew the central nut securing the steering wheel, and then remove the steering wheel from the car.

1) First, install the new steering wheel in its place, in accordance with the mark previously made using a marker, and during installation, try to ensure that the bulge on the steering wheel fits into the groove under the steering switch.

2) Next, completely tighten the central nut securing the steering column.

3) Then install the cover in its place, and then tighten both screws securing it.

4) After installing the cover in its place, a decorative overlay with the inscription “LADA” should be installed on it.

5) Now reinstall the steering column cover in the reverse order of removal.

6) And to complete the operation, put the “-” terminal on the battery.

When carrying out the entire operation of removing the steering wheel, the wheels of the car must be strictly in a straight position!

Removing the new steering wheel

Disconnect the negative cable terminal from the battery terminal. Use a screwdriver to pry off the cover of the signal switch...

...and remove it. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two self-tapping screws......and remove the cover. Using a “24” socket, unscrew the steering wheel mounting nut, but not all the way.

Using a marker or felt-tip pen, mark the position of the steering wheel on the shaft.

While rocking, we pull towards ourselves, and the steering wheel comes off the splines.

In the event of a sudden break, the nut will protect the face from injury. After this, completely unscrew the nut.

If the steering wheel sits very tightly, an assistant pulls the steering wheel towards you, and strikes the end of the steering shaft through a soft metal drift. To replace the slip ring, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew three screws......and, having disconnected the wire connector, remove the ring.

We assemble and install the steering wheel in the reverse order, aligning the marks.

How to replace the steering tip on a VAZ 2108-VAZ 21099?

Note! Before changing the tip, make sure that this is what your car really needs. To check the tip for play, perform the following operation: drive the car into the inspection hole and grab the steering rod with your hand (there is still a steering tip on it) and shake the steering rod with your hand. (Down, up), while you are shaking the rod, look at the ball joint of the steering tip, if it wobbles (there is play), then change the steering tip in the near future with a new one (Another tip, in exactly the same way check), if it turns out that both tips are serviceable and work normally, but there is still play in the steering wheel, then look at the steering rack, maybe it is to blame for this play!

Removal: 1. Let's briefly explain that replacing the steering tip is not difficult, especially when you have a puller at hand, well, let's start, first remove the wheel (For information on how to remove a wheel, read the article: “Replacing a wheel on a car”) with car, then take WD-40 lubricant or something like it and use a brush to clean the nut that secures the steering linkage to the steering arm and, using pliers, remove the cotter pin that prevents this nut from coming loose (It is indicated by the red arrow), and when it is removed , completely unscrew the nut and remove it (Indicated by a blue arrow) and using special. puller, press the ball joint pin out of the hole into which it goes (see small photo) and then loosen the nut with a wrench (indicated by the green arrow) due to which the tip is attached to the steering rod, unscrew it, then turn the tip counterclockwise by hand (When turning it out be sure to count how many revolutions the tip makes, tighten the new one exactly the same number).

Note! If suddenly you need to change the boot at the steering tip or fill it with more grease, then you will need to remove it as follows: first, the metal ring will need to be removed along the ball joint pin (see photo 1), then prying it with a screwdriver, remove the stopper that holds the boot on the hinge (see photo 2) and you can safely then remove the boot itself from the hinge and fill the joint with grease, just reconnect the boot so that it fits into the groove and fasten it tightly so that no dirt or dirt gets under it moisture!

Installation: The tip on the tie rod is installed in the reverse order of removal and so that the camber does not get too lost, turn it back to the same speed as was said earlier.

Additional video clip: You can understand in more detail how to replace the steering tip on a car like the Lada of the ninth model in the video located just below:

VAZ-2109

: replacing steering wheel tips with your own hands On a VAZ-2109 car, replacing control tips is carried out every 20-40 thousand kilometers. Naturally, whether others will like this value depends directly on the correct selection of the studio, on what roads the car usually drives, and on driving style. Cautious motorists can drive for quite a long time on the same control tips. The steering is one of the most important components in a car. The safety of you and your passengers directly depends on it.

It is important to occasionally inspect the serviceability and make repairs. The steering consists of a rack, rods, tips, column

How to remove the steering wheel on an old-style VAZ 2109

It’s worth starting with the fact that there are two types of steering wheels for the VAZ 2109. Old and new types. From the beginning the old view will be dismantled.

Preparing for the process. First you need to prepare the car for removing the steering wheel. The first thing to do is disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Second, this will make sure that the wheels are level. Of course, you can do it without this, you will be able to drive, but the steering wheel will not be installed correctly, and the ride will turn out to be at least very uncomfortable. Then he stands and prepares his tools and gloves. Don't neglect hand protection.
The second step is to start removing the steering wheel. First, remove the cover on the steering wheel. There shouldn't be any problems with this step.
Next, unscrew the nuts securing the steering shaft. It is important that you do not remove the nut right away. It is necessary to leave it twisted one or two turns.
The penultimate step. Knock the steering wheel off the shaft. It's quite simple.
These steps will complete the removal of the steering wheel. Just unscrew the nuts. More precisely, unscrew them.

This way you will remove the steering wheel from the old style vases. Now let's look at removing the steering wheel of the new model.

On new samples, a small decorative panel is installed in the middle of the steering wheel. To remove it you just need to pry it off with a screwdriver.
There will be two screws under this tab; they need to be removed. These screws hold the trim on the steering wheel.
Then you need to unscrew the nuts that hold the steering wheel. How to do this is described above.

It is not so difficult to install the steering wheel on a VAZ and now you will see for yourself.

Reasons for replacement

Many car enthusiasts ask how to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2109. It's actually not difficult. Just first answer yourself the question, why do you need this? After all, the standard steering wheel is designed taking into account all the features of this model. Any change in the diameter or fit of the steering wheel entails a change in handling characteristics. Therefore, you should think carefully before you start replacing the steering wheel with a non-standard part. Often the steering wheel is forced to be replaced. This can happen when there is a lot of wear on the wheel itself. This reason is rare; the steering wheel is made of fairly durable and wear-resistant plastic. Sometimes it can break down in accidents. Another, no less common malfunction is signal failure. In this case, it is much easier to change the entire steering wheel. Installing and adjusting another signal will take a lot of time.

Installing EUR from Priora

Electric power steering (EPS) is installed on new domestically produced cars, such as Kalina, Priora, Granta, in contrast to old models such as VAZ 2109, 2114. But since new models are designed on the basis of old ones, some of the parts used in them can be installed and on a VAZ 2109. In this article we will look at the installation of electric power steering from Priora on a VAZ 2109 with a Europanel.

For this we need:

EUR from Priora (VAZ 2170);
Wiring for connecting the EUR (2110-3724155);
Installation plate;
Shortened steering shaft drive;
Steering column switches from Chevy Niva;
Steering wheel cover from VAZ 21104 (“ten” with Europanel);
Emergency button (it will have to be moved to the panel);
The steering wheel is from Kalina.

EUR from Priora

Installation plate

Kardanchik

Wiring harness

Covers from the “ten” with a Europanel
We begin the installation work by removing the steering wheel, steering cover and steering column switches together with the block.

You can also immediately remove the instrument panel trim and remove the instrument cluster - we will connect the control wires from the EUR to it.

Next, remove the ignition switch. You may have to tinker with the bolts that secure it if you break off their slots.

Remove the steering shaft. The result is something like this:

The marked studs need to be shortened slightly so that they do not rest against the EUR.

Install the adapter plate. The front nuts will also fit the old ones, but the rear bolts need to be replaced with 4.8 x 50 mm (with a 10mm head).

If you couldn’t get the plate, you can make it yourself using this drawing:

Now let's connect the wiring. It is convenient to route the wires to the battery through the hole for the headlight hydraulic corrector hoses:

We pull the remaining wires to the instrument cluster, where we connect them according to the diagram:

We fix the cardan from the EUR kit to the rack (we don’t tighten the fixing bolt all the way).

And we try on the electric amplifier itself. The complete cardan is a little short in length, so you will have to slightly increase the seats on the EUR itself in order to move it a little towards the cardan.

When everything worked out, we put back the steering column and instrument panel, and connect the electrical connectors to the EUR control unit.

We start the car and try it.

Now the steering wheel has become very light, this is especially noticeable in parking lots at low speeds. Also, vibrations from the road to the steering wheel are now transmitted to a lesser extent. True, there are also negative aspects: the steering wheel becomes somewhat closer to the driver (4-5 cm) and somewhat lower. Well, the standard steering column lining needs to be changed to a “tenth” one with a Europanel.

Signs of malfunction of VAZ-2109 steering tips

It is the steering tips that most often wear out on a car. To check them, you need to use an overpass, a lift or an inspection pit. It is not very convenient to work by lifting the front part of the car on jacks, since there is not enough space. Carefully inspect the anthers of the steering tips. If they have cracks, it is advisable to carry out repairs immediately. It is unknown how old these cracks are. And in just a few hours, quite a large amount of dust and dirt can penetrate through one.

This will cause the ball joint to wear out more. Even washing followed by applying fresh lubricant and replacing the boot may not save the situation. Check the amount of play in each rod end. It should not exceed one and a half millimeters. If more, then the tie rod ends need to be replaced. Also a sign of wear is the presence of extraneous sounds from the steering.

Looking for signs of trouble

A malfunction in the rack is usually caused by driving on an uneven and very dusty road:

Moreover, the less carefully the owner drives the car on broken roads, the faster the rack breaks and begins to knock
On a VAZ 2109, play in the steering rack is one of the first signs that constitute the general symptoms of its breakdown
In other words, in order to avoid frequent repairs of steering parts, you should slow down when you see noticeable road irregularities in front of the car, and avoid crossing across tram rails
And if suddenly such a need arises for you, then perform this intersection at the lowest speed
Also, constant driving onto curbs, as well as sudden accelerations when the steering wheel is in extreme positions (right or left), can lead to premature breakdown and repair of steering mechanisms; this leads to an increase in the load on the steering gearbox, and other parts of the steering rack, and to rapid wear of the power steering pump.
The consequences will be as follows: contamination and damage to the seals operating in the power steering system.
Often, external signs of rack malfunctions can easily be confused with other malfunctions, because diagnosing this unit is not a simple task
And in some special cases, in order to find the problem, it has to be completely disassembled
Drivers often ask a typical question: how can we identify faults in the steering rack?
We answer - the most noticeable and obvious symptom is a characteristic knocking sound when the car moves on an uneven road, which intensifies when the steering wheel is turned.

The most noticeable symptoms of malfunctions:

The steering wheel becomes stiff (often it turns tightly only in one specific direction)
On the asphalt after parking the car, oil stains may remain in the area of the front of the car.
There is a hum in the power steering
If such signs appear, there is a very high probability that your car may become completely uncontrollable.

Now that it has become clear how to diagnose the steering rack with your own hands, it is necessary to more often monitor the behavior of the steering and promptly perform thorough maintenance of this unit. A timely check of the rack will help make a timely conclusion about the need for repair, especially when there is a clear leak of steering rack lubricant.

Reasons for replacement

Often the steering wheel is forced to be replaced. This can happen when there is a lot of wear on the wheel itself. This reason is rare; the steering wheel is made of fairly durable and wear-resistant plastic. Sometimes it can break down in accidents. Another, no less common malfunction is signal failure. In this case, it is much easier to change the entire steering wheel. Installing and adjusting another signal will take a lot of time.

Lada 2109 USSR ☭ 1987 › Logbook › Replacing the steering wheel and what it led to.

Hi all! I’ll say right away that there will be a lot of letters!))) At the beginning of August, I decided to replace the ten-wheel steering wheel with the original brown one and at the same time change the plastic of the steering column, because the previous owner broke it to fit the 2110 steering wheel. If only I knew where this would lead me O_o.

According to the plan, I set aside 2 hours for all this, in a leisurely manner. But as usual, everything lasts for 2 weeks. At first everything seemed to be going well; I removed the casing and steering wheel. Then I installed a new casing, but forgot to install the rubber band for the ignition switch, and decided to immediately try on the steering wheel. The view was certainly amazing! But when I tried to twist it I realized that it rested directly on the casing. I thought maybe I messed up somewhere, but it didn’t seem to be anywhere. I started looking at everything and found... that the casing is not positioned correctly due to the fact that the ignition switch bracket is in the way.

The next day I went to find out what kind of ignition switches there are and realized that there are 2 types of the old model with different brackets. I threw the photo into my phone and went to look for the ignition switch. The first store on Ogorodnaya near Cosmos had just the old model in stock and only 420 rubles, but upon arrival it turned out that it was the same lock as mine. When I showed them which one I needed, they said they don’t make them anymore and I’m unlikely to find them. I told them all the best and went on searching. Then there was a store on Tselinstroy, they also said that there were no such stores for a long time. Frustrated, I went home and continued to surf the Internet, at the same time there might be something on Avito. I finally found it on Avito, but I had to travel a bit far and decided to go to the Auto49 website, maybe I’ll get lucky... And I look at the photo and it looks like it’s similar to the one I’m looking for. Quickly get on the minibus and I'm at the store. I looked at it, twirled it in my hands and said “wrap it up”, although the price of 560 rubles was a little disappointing, but where else can you find one like this? By the way, it was the last one they had, they gave it away straight from the display case. Again, quickly get on the minibus and go to the garage. Further more

and the 08 steering wheel always pissed me off. And on the first 08 with a high panel, on the very first day I installed a 2110 steering wheel (I even had thoughts of installing one from Kalina). The original one hung in the garage for a long time, even gave it to a friend for a while while he tightened his “turn” with leather. And so, when the second 08 was purchased, that steering wheel took its place in it. First for registration, and then I got used to it and got into it. Now I LIKE him! and I don’t want any Nardi or anything else anymore. I keep the steering wheel in the “quarter to three” position and all 3-4-spoke steering wheels are not comfortable for me.

Where did you get the buttons on the steering wheels, please share?

With decimal the buttons are not visible

Good afternoon, please tell me the name of this steering wheel and where to buy it if it is still possible.

I recently found it in St. Petersburg, maybe it’s not sold yet... it’s on the car, a guy is selling it

Hello, Draichanin)) Help with the problem, I bought a moto lita steering wheel made in France for cheap, but I can’t dig up information (where it was installed, what year it was), maybe you can help! Thanks in advance

I had a 2114 steering wheel on my 2109)) It’s big and comfortable. But the view is not for everyone. Then I installed Raid and bought it from a friend. He's absolutely bombastic. Not as convenient, due to the fact that it is smaller and there is no amplifier. But nice and looks cool

I have exactly the same one in 15k, very comfortable, happy with it

How to remove the steering wheel? Simply by changing your car steering wheel to a more stylish one, you can improve the design of your car interior. Some car enthusiasts prefer to install a sports steering wheel that looks attractive.

But this is not its only advantage; besides this, such a wheel provides an excellent opportunity for additional control while driving. The photographs were taken on a VAZ 2114 car, but in principle they will fit the following car brands:

VAZ 2114
VAZ 2112
VAZ 2110
VAZ 2109
VAZ 21099
VAZ 2107
VAZ 2106
VAZ 2105
Priora
Granda

Of course, you can replace the steering wheel on a foreign car this way, the main thing is to remove the plastic. To change a car steering wheel, you first need to align the front wheels of the car; during this, the steering wheel must be set straight. Then remove the negative terminal from the battery. Don't forget to disconnect the car signal connector. After this, unscrew all the screws securing the steering column covers. The lower steering column cover needs to be removed. Unlock the steering column adjustment lever and lower it down, then proceed to removing the upper steering column housing.

The decorative trim on the signal can be easily removed by prying it off with a screwdriver. Then unscrew all the fastenings of the signal button and pull it out. Unscrew the steering wheel nut using a socket wrench or socket. Do not unscrew the nut completely! Make marks of the position of the car steering wheel relative to the shaft, and also mark the position of the turn signal switch. They can be made with a simple pencil.

Apply several blows to the steering wheel in the direction “towards you”, after which the steering wheel should come out of the splines. When you have a puller, it is wiser to use this tool. Then unscrew the nut and remove the car steering wheel from the steering column shaft. To make it clearer how to change the steering wheel, look at the procedure. Removing the decor and the signal button:

After securing the steering wheel, holding it with your hand, unscrew the nut and remove the steering wheel:

The steering wheel cover is removed and attached to the new steering wheel.:

Is the steering wheel removed? Then it’s time to put the steering column switch in the neutral position and install a new steering wheel. Please note that its spokes must be in a horizontal position. Don't forget to turn the turn signal switch ring - the pin on the steering wheel hub should fit into the groove of the ring. Now tighten the nut and connect the electrical.

Connect the negative wire to the battery, check the operation of the steering column switch and the sound signal. Finally, do not forget to test the new steering wheel on a test drive - when driving “in a straight line,” the steering wheel spokes should be in a horizontal position.

The factory-installed steering wheel is the safest. It is a standard part, the design of which was developed specifically for the VAZ 2109 car brand. During the implementation period, the part passed the necessary tests, all parameters meet the established standards. But the driver wants to improve the design of the steering wheel with his own hands: the steering wheel has a too thin rim, which makes it difficult to feel comfortable when hands touch it. The article suggests getting acquainted with how to replace the steering wheel on a VAZ 2109 with a more convenient model from other manufacturers.

Topic: Steering wheel from Kalina/Priors

Guys, I got a Kalinovskaya steering wheel, 4-spoke, how can I customize it instead of the stock one? There are no rings on it, just square ones of different sizes on the sides of the central hole. Please advise me something, I really want to change it!!

Re: Steering wheel from Kalina/Priors

I’m also very interested in whether it’s possible to attach a steering wheel from a Priora or Kalina to 99.

Re: Steering wheel from Kalina/Priors

I installed a Kalinovsky steering wheel on my 8 (low panel). Like a new model for the 10, it was sold together with a cover that is installed below the steering wheel. I had to use a hacksaw to slightly cut down the casing, which is installed from below, because... the old one no longer fits. There the hole diameter became larger. Compared to the old original one, this new steering wheel is much more comfortable, like on a foreign car. Previously, I had my own one standing under a low panel - it completely sucks. Of course, it was possible to switch to 10th, but I decided to immediately switch to Kalinovsky. It is thicker than the 10th and looks better.

Re: Steering wheel from Kalina/Priors

Evgel, can you send me some photos? And what kind of casing is this? It’s just that the steering wheel from the Priora is also lying around, I’m thinking about sticking it in.

Re: Steering wheel from Kalina/Priors

Hurray, oh did it!!

So, the patient is a TAZ 21099 with a non-adjustable steering column. We put the wheels straight, pull out the 20A fuse F5 (signal circuit) in the black hole, remove the steering wheel and the steering column assembly with the body. We remove two contacts from the steering column housing. We take a pre-purchased Kalinovsky steering column housing together with switches (catalog no. 1118-3709305), and insert a ring with contacts for the Shniva buzzer (no. 2123-370932) into it. It turns out like this:

Then we take out those two wires using an awl from the connector bodies, lightly press them from the sides with pliers, and put a casing on one wire. We do all this in order to connect these wires to the socket in the steering column housing, like this:

We place the steering column housing on the steering column, tighten the bolt from below to 8 (you can move it along the column within 1.5 cm, closer or farther relative to the steering wheel).

About the rake

Also, the reason is hidden in the steering rack. It must be remembered that the clearances of the suspension elements themselves do not cause vibrations or beating on the steering wheel. The unfixed part becomes a catalyst. But the main problem is the wheels, and you need to start from this. The steering wheel of the VAZ-2110 also shakes at low speed due to a faulty power steering mechanism. In this case, the rack is directly connected to the rods - hence the vibrations. In this case, experienced car owners advise inserting a rubber element into the steering shaft cardan. A ball with a diameter of 22 mm made of synthetic rubber will do. But the material wears out and cracks over time. As a more durable solution, you can use a cube with a side of 20 mm from the bumper of classic VAZ models.

Installation

To change the standard steering gear to an electric steering gear, you will need to purchase the following kit:

New electric booster;
Wiring kit for connecting the amplifier;
Installation plate (you can find it on the market, but some people make it themselves);
Shortened steering shaft driveshaft;
Protective casing for “ten” with Europanel;
Steering wheel (it’s better to take one from Kalina);
Emergency button (located on the panel).

Replacement kit
That's it, when all the necessary components are ready and you are ready to work, you can start.

Since we are talking about working on the electrical system, be sure to remove the negative terminal from the battery.
Remove the steering wheel, remove the protective cover and steering column switches. Don't forget to remove the connecting block along with the switches.
Unscrew the dashboard trim and remove the instrument cluster. This way you can then connect the control wiring from the electric amplifier.
Remove the ignition switch. Be careful here. Many people in a hurry tear off the splines of the fastening bots.
Remove the steering shaft.
Now in front of you is a disassembled structure, where the rather long studs clearly stand out. They should be shortened. Otherwise, the pins will rest against the new electric power steering mechanism.
Install the adapter plate. For its installation, the front nuts will fit the old ones. In this case, be sure to replace the rear bolts. Their size should be 4.8 by 50 millimeters and fit 10 keys.
If you couldn’t find the mounting plate based on the drawings below, you can make it yourself.

It's time to connect the wiring.
The practice of VAZ 2109 owners shows that it is most convenient to route the wiring to the battery through the holes intended for the optics hydraulic corrector hoses.
The rest of the wiring goes to the dashboard, where the connections should be made according to this diagram.

Secure the electric power steering driveshaft to the rack, but do not tighten the fixing bolt. We are trying on the electric power steering. The cardan that comes with the kit is slightly inappropriate in length. The best solution here would be to increase the mounting sockets on the amplifier. This will allow you to move it towards the cardan.
Reassemble the column and instrument panel in the reverse order of dismantling.
Never forget to connect the connectors to the amplifier's command block.
Return the negative wire to the battery, start the engine and check how the Priora electric power steering works on your nine.

Installation process

Removing the VAZ 21099 steering rack

It is best to invite someone to carry out such work, since it is much more convenient to do repairs together. Before you start figuring it out, you need to buy a steering rack repair kit for this car. It is best to carry out repairs in an inspection hole. Next we proceed according to the scheme:

The first step is to unscrew the steering system finger nuts. They are located under the wings of the car.
The next step is to unscrew the spline connection bolt (corkscrew). Personally, I had to look for it for quite a long time. Hint - it is located next to the pedal assembly.
Then the plastic linings are removed from the steering shaft. I recommend doing this as carefully as possible, since I was unable to remove the casing without damaging it - the plastic material is fragile.
Using 13mm wrenches (heads are ideal), the nuts are unscrewed, which secure the entire steering system to the car itself.
Next we remove the brackets securing the steering mechanism. The next step is to separate the steering shaft from the drive gear. After this fraud, you need to lift the right side of the car and pull out the entire mechanism.

Assembly

Removing the steering wheel is not a problem, although there are some difficulties. But the reverse installation also has its own peculiarities. If you removed the steering wheel to replace the signal slip ring, then install it back according to the marks made. When installing a new one, try to place it as level as possible.

Before installation, place all steering column switches in the neutral position and place the steering wheel on the splines. After this, screw on the fastening nut, but do not tighten it yet. Connect all connectors, connect the battery. Test the steering wheel operation

First of all, pay attention to the coincidence of straight-line movement and the position of the steering wheel. If they do not match, then you need to remove the steering wheel and move it along the splines in the desired direction

And test again. After achieving the result, the nut is tightened. Decorative overlays are installed, signal operation is checked, and the plastic of the speaker is assembled.

Other models

. Thus, you can remove the steering wheel not only on the nine. This description is completely suitable for the entire tenth VAZ family, as well as for Lada Priora and Lada Granta. In the latter case, in addition to other preparatory work, you will have to unlock and move down the steering wheel adjustment lever.

Conclusion

There can be many reasons for replacing the steering wheel. At the same time, it is important to choose the right model so as not to worsen controllability.

It is advisable to ask yourself how to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2109 and read the relevant literature. The safety of further operation of the machine largely depends on the correct actions during replacement.

Installing a sports steering wheel

Preparation. Before installation you need a few things. The steering wheel itself, no matter how logical it may sound, is an adapter and tools.
After removing the old steering wheel, you need to run the signal wires into the adapter. Carefully ensure that the contacts touch the rings. If they do not touch the rings, you and other drivers will no longer hear the signal if something happens.
We install the steering wheel on several bolts and check the correct movement and position of the steering wheel on a flat surface. Of course, this should have been done while removing the steering wheel, but it wouldn’t hurt to check it again.
If everything is correct, then we fix the steering wheel with the remaining bolts and enjoy the new steering wheel. This completes the installation of the sports steering wheel and the removal of the old steering wheel from the VAZ 2109.

What is it for?

Many devices, including steering ones, have units in which parts made of different materials interact. This relationship is never without friction. Probably, many drivers remember from a school physics course that in places of friction there is always an increase in temperature in the area of work of the rubbing pairs. In these places, the process of wear of parts accelerates.

In order to somehow reduce this wear and significantly extend the service life of such components, various types of lubricants are used.

In addition, lubrication reduces the amount of effort required to turn the steering. This fully applies to mechanisms with electric and hydraulic drives. In some cases, to carry out such work it is necessary to remove it from the machine, completely disassemble it, clean it, wash it, and only then apply new lubricant.
