Installation of power steering VAZ 2110 8 valves

Depending on the year of manufacture, the “ten” can be equipped with a hydraulic booster (power steering) or an electric booster (electric power steering). Of course, the second option is preferable, since it makes driving the car easier and more comfortable. If your power steering is worn out or you just want to replace it, then it is recommended to choose the power steering for the VAZ 2110 as an alternative.

This material contains two instructions:

Pricing factors

The cost of power steering varies significantly at different points of sale. The explanation for this is that sellers take into account various factors when setting prices. For example, the cost of a given auto part depends on:

Varieties.
Qualities.
Originality.
Brenda.
Generations of cars.
States.
Places of purchase.
The need to order delivery and the price of such a service.
Reputation of the selling company.

Differences between EUR and power steering

These are completely different units. To understand the main differences, it is enough to study the hydraulic booster. Its main component is a pump driven by the crankshaft, it is integrated with other parts. The operating principle of the hydraulic booster is based on hydraulics.

As for the electric power steering, it is driven by an electric motor. Its design also includes an electronic control unit, a steering shaft with a torsion element and sensors. The EUR works according to a different scheme:

When the steering wheel rotates, the torsion shaft twists;
Special sensors record changes in the position of the shaft and send data to the electronic control unit;
After analyzing the information, the unit sends commands to the electric motor;
As a result, the unit creates the necessary force or facilitates turning the steering wheel.

Car enthusiasts often argue which option is preferable for the “ten”. In fact, power steering is an obsolete unit that is being actively removed from modern passenger cars. The electric booster works even when the engine is turned off and weighs less than the power steering. The main advantage over “hydraulics” is reliability - the electric unit requires virtually no maintenance. There is less load on the engine, and as a result, less fuel is also needed. The EUR is also good for our conditions because it functions well at low temperatures.

But the electric booster also has its drawbacks. Its design is more complex than that of “hydraulics”, hence the high price. Sometimes the electronic control unit sends incorrect commands, this was especially felt by the owners of the first generation Kalina. If you drive for a long time on a poor-quality road surface (or lack thereof), the EUR may turn off for several minutes due to overheating.

Varieties

All power steering can be divided into two types:

Electrical. The system is represented by an electric motor, a control mechanism and a mechanical transmission. The peculiarity of this type of device is the creation of additional force when turning the steering wheel using a special electric drive. Provides perfect handling at all speeds and during sharp turns. If a malfunction occurs in the control units, the electrical device may suddenly turn off.
Electrohydraulic. The hydraulic pump is started by an electric motor, which is powered by a generating device. In terms of fuel economy, the electro-hydraulic booster is more preferable. The spare part is efficient and informative.

Installation of EUR

Required Tools

Let's say you purchased an EUR kit - it could be from a VAZ 2110 or from another model, for example, from a Priora. Prepare the following tools:

Drill together with a metal drill.
Set of screwdrivers, grinder.
Long ruler.

All is ready? Let's move on to installation.

Step-by-step instruction

You need to remove the standard terminal from the block and place it in the block on the harness. We find the standard drive, which is attached to the block. A free terminal must be installed in its place. Now the wire can be placed between the fasteners.

Adjustment

After assembly, you will need to straighten the steering wheel if it is installed crooked. Separately install the sensor that came with the EUR. If the column casing is cracked, it is better to immediately replace it with a good one. There may be gaps between the front panel and the casing - they must be removed.

Installing power steering - step by step instructions

This instruction is intended for VAZ 2110 cars, which do not have power steering at all. Such models were produced a long time ago, but they can still be found on the road today. In this case, the car can be upgraded with your own hands.

You can install the power steering yourself; for this you will need a power steering kit - today it can be purchased for about 20 thousand. From the tools, prepare a set of keys and screwdrivers; you should also take care of the amplifier fluid in advance.

We dismantle the timing case and install the bracket on three bolts. There are already holes in the interior, so there is no need to drill new ones. Now we install the pin on which the roller will later be installed. There are no holes for it, so we make new ones. Let's put on a video.

Here you can see the fasteners that need to be removed. The photo below shows in detail what needs to be sawed off. After this, securely fix the pump on the bracket and cover it with a pillow. The assembled unit should be placed on the engine, or rather, in the place where the generator was mounted.

You should undertake such work only if you already have experience in servicing the electrical and power plant of the VAZ 2110. Power steering is directly related to safety, so if you lack experience, it is better to turn to the experts.

conclusions

The desire for additional amenities leads to the complication of the car. And this, in turn, is fraught with a decrease in reliability and costs. In addition, people become weaker physically.

When we want to simplify our life in some way, it turns out that, on the contrary, we make it more difficult. Installing a hydraulic booster on a VAZ 2112 is advisable when there is a genuine need for it; in all other cases it will only be an additional convenience.

Liquid leakage from the system along the way will lead to failure of the amplifier. In winter, due to low temperatures, noise may occur during operation of the device. This brings some discomfort, as the process of driving a car may be disrupted.

Lada 2111 › Logbook › Power steering for 2110 8 cells. Part 1

The topic is old and hackneyed, but I still want to share my experience.

I would like to immediately answer frequently asked questions:

Why power steering? After all, the EUR is better/simpler/more reliable/doesn’t take power away from the engine

1. Because the power steering rack has 2.7 turns from lock to lock, and all other 2110/Priora/Kalina racks have 4.2 turns. The only exception is the viburnum sprat rack with 3.1

2. I like it when the steering becomes stronger at speed 3. IMHO, the hydraulic rack dampens impacts on the wheels better and allows you not to feel a pull during acceleration. Again, these are just my feelings 4. In principle, I like the idea of a hydraulic booster better. This can be considered religious beliefs

How expensive?

Within 10-12 sput

How difficult and how long does it take to install?

1 full day, nothing complicated, a minimum set of tools required

Components

This is what the most complete set of power steering looks like:

If you remove the set of priors with your own hands, then you will not have any problems, you will be able to get everything and see how it stands, but if you assemble it in parts... Particularly difficult to find is the boot installed in the engine shield, at the entry point of the steering slats in the interior:

Catalog 2110-3401165-20. Even his image is difficult to find

And also its pressure plate:

It's easier to find. Catalog 2110-3401208-20

All other parts are either on sale or can be obtained from disassembly.

Special attention should be paid to high pressure hoses. They come in old and new designs. The old ones differ in that their rubber hose can be directly detached from the steel tube, which is screwed with a hollow bolt onto the spool mechanism of the rack. This is more convenient because it allows you to replace a leaking hose without removing the rack.

Marked where it disconnects. Catalogs 2110-3408018-01 and 2110-3408100-01 for two halves

The new model is solid, the hose used in them is from Continental. Replacement requires dismantling the rack. I don't know the benefits.

Catalogs 2110-3408018-20 and 2110-3408100-20

However, there is one big, no, huge problem with the new hoses! They sell fakes everywhere! In my city, I couldn’t find real ones in any store! You can read how to distinguish them in this article. With a fake hose, when turning the steering wheel, at some moments you will feel vibration in the steering mechanism and a hum. In general, everything is described in the article.

Next are the brackets. I installed everything according to the standard scheme and used standard brackets. The power steering pump is mounted on its bracket with three bolts at the front and an additional plate at the rear. If you buy a bracket separately, pay attention to its availability:

The generator moves upstairs, like in 16th grade. engines. Here you need to pay attention to the fact that there are generator brackets for the power steering and for the air conditioner. They are very different in appearance:

Bracket for air conditioner

I chose the power steering one; it is attached at three widely spaced points and generally inspires more confidence.

I can’t say for sure, but it may be necessary to install a new type of engine support bracket, without the ear on top:

The fact is that the power steering bracket of the generator has a casting on top that, as it were, hugs the engine support bracket from above. It will not fit on an old-style bracket without modifications with a file; it is necessary to sharpen about a centimeter of the casting. But besides this, I got the impression that the generator bracket still rests on top of some protrusions and turns out to be turned a little clockwise (within the limits of the bolt stroke). That. The generator itself is not strictly coaxial with the rest of the pulleys. I came to this conclusion after the outer part of the roller was eaten away by a belt. Now I've installed a new sample, and it seems like he's not eating anything anymore.

Replacing hoses and oil

VAZ 2110 power steering

Power steering hoses are an important part of it. Therefore, they need an eye and an eye. But what if they still need to be replaced? Should you take your car to a service station? Of course, there is no need, because you can do all this yourself. Usually, hoses are replaced simultaneously with the power steering oil change. And it would be opportune to present joint instructions.

First you need to lift both front wheels of the car (they should be in the air);
We find the power steering reservoir from which the oil should be pumped out;

Note. You can pump out oil from the power steering reservoir using a larger glass syringe, which also has an extension in the form of a tube.

Pump out the oil;
Turn the steering wheel all the way in any direction (after this oil will appear in the tank again, which needs to be pumped out again);

VAZ 2110 power steering

Now turn the steering wheel in the other direction and pump out the oil again;
We remove the hose, which is the oil conductor (through it, the oil comes from the passenger compartment and enters the tank);
Turn the steering wheel from side to side (oil should come out again);

Replacing power steering oil

We take new power steering oil (usually about 800 ml);
Fill it into the tank to the maximum level;
Again, turn the steering wheel from side to side (all the way);

Note. When the steering wheel is rotated, the oil will flow out. You will need to constantly refill it.

We start the engine for a few seconds, turn it off;
We turn the steering wheel again;
Add oil;
We pump and remove air from the system by turning the steering wheel with the car turned off ten times in each direction (we do the same number of times with the engine running).

When changing the oil, be sure to look at all hoses and pipes. If oil is leaking, this is a sign of a torn or faulty hose that will need to be replaced. Hoses are replaced only after the oil has been completely pumped out. You will need to unscrew the clamps and remove the hoses from the pump. As for installation, new hoses and pipes should be tightened with clamps and not overdo it (hoses easily burst, if anything happens).

Note. Installing new hoses can be difficult, since the location of the power steering itself is inconvenient.

The pump of this mechanism deserves a separate discussion. It costs about 3 thousand Russian rubles and is often repaired rather than replaced. But if repairs don’t help, you’ll have to spend money. As for high-quality repairs, you can again do it yourself, thereby saving your money.

VAZ 2110 has a hydraulic booster on the car

Typically, a ZF brand pump is installed on the VAZ 2110 power steering, which is also used on the Audi A6, Volkswagen and other cars. But this pump model is not dismountable and there are no retaining rings or covers on it. This does not mean that it is impossible to restore the operation of such a pump. Below are instructions for removing and disassembling the power steering pump:

Remove the clamp;
Disconnect the return hose (do it carefully so as not to spill oil);
Disconnect the connector;
Remove the DJ (sensor) from the fitting bolt.

Note. It is under no circumstances recommended to drop this fluid pressure sensor. Otherwise you will have to buy a new one.

We disconnect the discharge tube, first removing the union bolt;
Remove the power steering drive belt;
Now it's time to start removing the pump itself;
Loosen the first bolt securing the pump;
We completely unscrew the second bolt securing the pump;
Remove the pump assembly.

Note. Remember that the first bolt securing the pump cannot be completely removed.

VAZ 2110 power steering fluid

We clean the pump from dirt and visually inspect it. If a development is found on the inner wall of the housing, resembling steps, then they need to be removed using a special nozzle and a drill.

Pump bearing and seal

VAZ 2110 with power steering

A worn bearing in a sealed housing can also cause power steering failure. The cuff, which needs periodic replacement, is no exception.

Note. There are two ways to secure a new bearing in the pump housing: by making a groove with a lathe or by securing it using the curved edges of the housing.

Let's consider both options:

To secure the bearing in the first way, you need to make a groove on a lathe on the outside of the housing. Then we drill threaded holes in the pump wall. The new bearing should be inserted and secured using bolts with sharpened ends, which are also sawn off.
The second option involves bending the edges of the body.

We assemble the pump in reverse order. Unlike other pump models, the ZF version has vanes that do not turn over.

Note. To thread the flange onto the shaft, it will need to be heated. Then quickly put it on the shaft and wait until it cools down.

The power steering pump may make noise after installation. But there is no need to be afraid of this, because everything is explained simply: grinding in parts.

Results

As you can see, the work is quite simple and does not require special knowledge and skills. The main thing is to remember the instructions for carrying out the work and use them in the required sequence. If you do this kind of work yourself once, then there will be no hassle with it in the future. If you neglect your car, it is fraught with consequences. The car will require constant care. To do this, he needs to periodically carry out technical inspections, on the basis of which he can make sure that certain components are in good working order.

Installation of EUR

Required Tools

Let's say you purchased an EUR kit - it could be from a VAZ 2110 or from another model, for example, from a Priora. Prepare the following tools:

Drill together with a metal drill.
Set of screwdrivers, grinder.
Long ruler.

Disadvantages of modification

Among the disadvantages of installing power steering on a UAZ-469 with your own hands, it is worth noting the poor information content of the steering wheel at speeds of more than 60 kilometers per hour. If without a booster it becomes stiffer, then with power steering it turns just as easily as at 10 km/h.

On the other hand, UAZ is not a car for racing. Therefore, if the budget allows, such a modification is quite acceptable. By installing power steering on a UAZ-469 from a foreign car, you will reduce the load on your hands by three times when crossing off-road terrain or parking in a cramped yard.

Installing power steering - step by step instructions

Is repair possible?

The VAZ 2110 steering rack with power steering is a fairly reliable unit, but even it can fail if the car is used incorrectly.

Repairing the steering mechanism may involve the following steps:

Repair of power steering rack. In this case, the repair procedure consists of replacing parts from the repair kit. This kit includes sealing elements for the piston and shaft, oil seals, bushings, as well as inserts for pressing the shaft. During this task, the surface of the shaft may be machined.
Switchgear repair. This procedure involves replacing the upper and inner oil seals, sealing elements and grinding the shaft. If the distributor shows signs of ring wear, the housing will also need to be lined.
Repair of the rack with restoration of the shaft. In this case, all the steps described above are performed, but in addition to this, you will also need to restore the shaft by building up the babbitt. You will also need to coat it with chrome and grind it.
If we are talking about a major overhaul, then you will need to perform all the steps described above, as well as completely replace the transverse shaft, its (side) clamp, along with the nuts and distributor. In addition, it may be necessary to replace the high-pressure lines along with the steering rods.

Price issue

The cost of a new EUR today is about 13-18 thousand rubles. On the secondary market you can buy a set for 2-6 thousand. The price for a complete set of power steering is on average about 20 thousand rubles.

Bleeding the brakes of a VAZ 2112. How to do it correctly

Loose fluid supply hoses;
Microcracks in tubes, fittings or in the cylinder.

Capacity, preferably a clean bottle of at least 1.5 liters;
Rubber tube from a medical IV or from a blood transfusion set;
Clean rags;
Wrench for 8 and 10, open-end or “bleeder”, which has a special slot;
Steel brush for cleaning metal surfaces;
A can of WD-40 to remove traces of dirt and rust;
New fluid for the system.

*The sequence of processing wheels on VAZ models is determined by their distance from the cylinder, and therefore by the length of the connecting hoses.

How to install?

To do this you need to remove the steering wheel. Here you will need not just a set of keys, but a puller. You can't just remove the steering wheel. This puller looks like this:

It will be impossible to remove the wheel with your bare hands - this will only damage the steering column. After removing the steering wheel, the column must also be removed. The universal joint and the nut securing the steering rod bipod are removed. Next, unscrew the three nuts of the steering element. After this, a new set of bipods is installed on the column shaft with power steering. The latter must be connected to the steering rod and secured with cotter pins. When installing a new column “under the power steering,” the old mount will interfere with us. It is cut using a grinder. Next, install a plastic protective casing on the column. The screws for fastening are old ones. Next, a rubber ring, castle nut and washer are put on the casing. The penultimate one is secured with stepladders.

A small driveshaft is installed between the steering mechanism and the column, which will connect both elements and reliably transmit force. Drive a wedge into a wide hole (using a hammer, light blows). Two washers are mounted on the wedge thread - spring and regular. As a result, the length to the hinge should be 300 millimeters. Next, tighten the castle nut and mount the steering wheel. The power steering steering column (UAZ-469 is a tuning object) has been successfully installed. But that is not all. We need to secure the remaining parts of the mechanism.

Disassembling the steering rack

Remove the support and protective cap from both sides of the mechanism.
Release the protective covers.
Remove the stop nut using a special wrench.

Remove the stop nut

Removing the drive gear with bearing

Remove the support sleeve

Next, you need to replace all the elements that are included in the steering rack repair kit, check the product for play and conduct a visual inspection.

After disassembling the rack, special attention should be paid to the worm gear mechanism and the support sleeve. Also, if the anthers are damaged, then corrosion of some parts of the mechanism may occur.

Everything here needs to be cleaned and rinsed, and also generously lubricated.

It is necessary to change the retaining ring and the rack stop. These parts are subject to the most wear and tear.

Power steering for VAZ 2112

In urban environments, you often have to perform numerous parking maneuvers. The fairly light steering of the VAZ 2112 in such cases becomes much heavier. It takes more effort to turn the wheels of a car that is standing still. The better their grip on the surface, the more difficult it is to maneuver. Therefore, the VAZ 2112 power steering will come in handy.

The need for power steering

VAZ 2112 cars coming off the factory assembly line do not contain power steering. This fact may indicate that the machine simply does not need such a device. However, you can find power steering on sale and install it yourself. Before buying anything, spending time and effort, it would be wise to weigh all the facts.

Arguments in favor of hydraulic booster

Aspects that indicate the need to install this device are as follows:

Facilitation of parking;
Reduced effort on long turns;
Increased ease of control on the road.

As you can see from the list, there are few arguments. But for some drivers they are very important.

Ease of parking

The main purpose of the VAZ 2112 power steering is to reduce the effort when turning the wheels. In winter, when the surface is slippery, turning the wheel of a stationary car is quite simple. But if you imagine that there is asphalt under the car with small stones sticking out and digging into the tire, then you will have to make a lot of effort to perform the desired maneuver.

At such moments, it is best to start turning the wheels immediately after starting to move, as this helps reduce the load on the steering mechanism. If the parking process causes a lot of inconvenience to the driver, then you should think about installing power steering. This is often typical for female drivers.

Reduced effort in movement

Moving along a straight path and a flat surface, driving the VAZ 2112 does not cause much trouble. But when entering a sharp turn, changing the trajectory of the car requires effort.

This is due to the fact that it is affected by centripetal acceleration, the vector of which is directed perpendicular to the car. At such moments, power steering will be very useful.

Arguments against the amplifier

After analyzing the positive factors, the driver will immediately want to install an amplifier for himself. But besides the positive, there are also negative aspects. These include:

Repair costs;
Labor intensive installation process;
Changes in body design.

The power steering mechanism of the VAZ 2112 has significant shortcomings. The degree of their significance for the driver determines the further decision. The existing aspects should be assessed as objectively as possible.

Repair costs

Over time, any mechanism wears out and needs repair. It is clear that an increase in the number of mechanisms inevitably leads to increased costs for their maintenance and repair.

When installing the amplifier, the following malfunctions may occur:

Loss of system tightness;
Broken or loose pump belt;
Malfunction of the distributor;
Destruction of rubber parts;
System clogged.
Wear and failure of the working cylinder.

Depending on the malfunction, there is a need for certain purchases and associated costs. Not only monetary expenses, but also time will be needed in such situations.

Complexity of the installation process

As the amplifier is introduced, there will be difficulties associated with changing the body, so you need to be prepared for this. The necessary elements are purchased independently. The installation process will be accompanied by the addition of a pump with its mount and belt, a reservoir for working fluid, a distributor, hoses, tubes, and an actuator. All parts must be properly secured. ATF is often used as a working fluid. But there are other options, including those indicated in the instructions accompanying the purchased parts

The desire for additional amenities leads to the complication of the car. And this, in turn, is fraught with a decrease in reliability and costs. In addition, people become weaker physically.

When we want to simplify our life in some way, it turns out that, on the contrary, we make it more difficult. Installing a hydraulic booster on a VAZ 2112 is advisable when there is a genuine need for it; in all other cases it will only be an additional convenience.

Characteristic

At the moment, almost all budget cars are equipped with such an amplifier. However, owners of old cars have a desire to retrofit their car with power steering. This is a very useful option. Even with a large diameter steering wheel, the effort required to control the car will be several times less. This is especially noticeable when parking in densely populated cities. The power steering itself is part of the car's steering system and runs on hydraulic fluid pumped by a pump. This also includes the steering column. The usual factory one does not fit here. There are many advantages of this system.

The first is the comfort of control, because you no longer need to turn the steering wheel as much as before. The second is reliability. The hydraulic booster practically does not fail. The third advantage is ease of maintenance. You will not have any difficulties when operating such a car. Even if the amplifier breaks, you can fix it with your own hands. Moreover, it is quite possible to get to the garage with such a breakdown. The only thing that will happen is that the ease of control will deteriorate. The steering wheel will become “heavy”. By the way, for the first time such an amplifier was installed on Gorky’s “Chaika”. GAZ-13 was the first car with power steering.
