How to remove and what kind of steering wheel can be installed on a VAZ 2107

The classic lineup from the Volzhsky Automobile Plant (SEV) has the most comfortable interior for its time. The VAZ 2107 is equipped with anatomical seats with integrated headrests and a comfortable four-spoke steering wheel. It is mounted on a safety compound shaft that rotates in a bearing. Removing a car steering wheel is usually required if parts wear out during long-term use.

Replacing the faulty unit will eliminate excess shaft play, as well as steering wheel movements not intended by the design. To carry out repair and restoration work, the following tools will be required:

1. short Phillips screwdriver;
2. a set of sockets with a wrench and an extension;
3. grease;
4. portable lamp with deflector and extension cord.

The operation does not take much time and can be performed outside specially equipped premises.

Steering column device

The purpose of the steering wheel shaft (steering column) is to transmit torque from the steering wheel to the worm gear of the steering mechanism. The VAZ 2107 column (injector), like similar units on all AvtoVAZ classic models, is rigidly attached to the car body using a bracket. Structurally, the column consists of a pair of hinges that can fold in the event of an accident. This ensures driver safety. To facilitate control, the upper shaft of the column rotates on a pair of needle bearings, the condition of which determines the force of rotation of the steering wheel.

Steering wheel tuning

Let's look at several options for modifying the steering wheel on this model. Most often, a sports steering wheel is installed. It is smaller in size. Usually it is 300-350 mm

. With such a steering wheel it is more convenient to perform high-speed maneuvers. Also, according to some car enthusiasts, it looks more attractive. You can find similar steering wheels on sale that fit the model and do not require modifications.

Also sometimes the steering wheel is illuminated. LED strips are used for this. With the right approach it turns out beautifully. In any case, in order to complete the work on modifying this structural element, you need to know how to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2107. This is the only way to tune the interior without any problems. This skill will also help eliminate any problems associated with the steering wheel.

Malfunctions of the steering column of VAZ 2107

Given the simple design of the column, there are few options for malfunction. It is important to monitor its condition and promptly eliminate problems when they arise.

There are several main types of faults:

1. Column creaking. The cause of the squeak may be wear of the column parts, deformation of the trim panels, or malfunction of the steering switch unit.
2. Steering wheel play. There are probably two reasons for this. The first is that the steering wheel fastening nut has been loosened. Fixing this problem is easy. But if this is not done in time, the splines on the shaft will break and the steering wheel may turn, leaving the car uncontrollable. Another reason is wear of the steering gear worm gear. Then it is necessary to adjust the gearbox or repair it.
3. Play in the plane of the steering wheel or column axis. This is a dangerous malfunction that appears when the elements of the mounting bracket or spline connections are worn (loose).

Loosening the nuts and bolts of the spline fasteners over time leads to the abrasion of the splines, causing the car to lose control. Therefore, the column play must be eliminated immediately.

Replacing the steering column of a VAZ 2107

Replacing a steering column is a rather difficult task, but it can be done independently if you have some experience in car repair. You will need the following tools:

• Wrenches 17 (socket and open-end).
• Socket heads for 17 and 30.
• Handle with ratchet.
• Mount.
• Hammer.
• Collar.

The column is removed in the following order:

1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the steering wheel.
3. Remove the steering shaft housing.
4. Remove the wire block from the ignition switch.
5. Remove the ignition switch.
6. Remove the steering column switches.
7. Remove the steering shaft clamped in the column.
8. Using a 30mm socket and a powerful wrench, unscrew the steering column mounting nut. The tightening force here is significant, so the knob must be a fairly long lever. If you can’t unscrew it, you can lengthen the knob by putting a piece of pipe on it.
9. Unscrew the 3 bolts securing the column to the body. The procedure is not easy - the distance between the parts and the body is too small, the bolts are difficult to keep from turning. A handle with a ratchet will come in handy here, which will speed up the process.
10. Remove the column from the shaft. To do this, you need to knock the column off the tie rod splines using a pry bar. This must be done in jerks, resting your feet on the body.
11. Unscrew and remove the shaft seal installed at the bottom of the column.

After dismantling the old column, it is necessary to clean the seat from dirt. Before installing a new column, you should check the condition of its hinge joints and needle bearings. If everything is in order, you can begin installation, which is done in the reverse order of removal.

When installing a new VAZ 2107 steering column, you must pay special attention to ensure that all fastening bolts and nuts are well tightened. Considering how important this unit is for driving a car, play, and even more so, slippage of the steering column splines can lead to tragic consequences.

When installing the steering wheel, pay attention to the position of its spokes.

After completing the installation of parts and connecting the wire block to the ignition switch, you can connect the battery. Column replacement is complete.

How to change the steering mechanism for a VAZ 2107

An assistant is required to perform work on removing and installing the VAZ 2107 steering mechanism.

Removing the steering gearbox from a VAZ 2107 car

1. We install the VAZ 2107 car on a pit or overpass (see “Preparation of the VAZ 2107 car for maintenance and repair”).
2. On a VAZ 2107 car with a fuel injection system, we will remove the adsorber (see “VAZ 2107 adsorber car. checking, removing and installing the purge valve”). 3. Unscrew the nut of the bolt securing the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear shaft and pull out the bolt (see “Steering shaft of cars 2107.
removal and installation”). 4. We disconnect the steering tie rod gearbox from the connection (see “Steering rods for carriages of the car 2107. replacement”). 5. Using a 19 mm socket wrench, loosen the three nuts of the steering gearbox on the left side element of the VAZ 2107, holding the bolts from turning with a wrench of the same size. Hold the steering gear and remove the bolts.

Steering mechanism VAZ 2107

VAZ cars, which are classic models, are distinguished by pleasant reliability. This also applies to the steering mechanism.

It is quite complex, but its design allows you to maneuver and ensure reliable vehicle control even in the most difficult road conditions.

The modernization process led to the installation of a composite shaft and a safety column. Due to the size of the steering wheel, the driver makes the necessary maneuvers without any problems. From lock to lock, it takes 3.5 turns to turn the steering wheel completely. The force from the steering column is transmitted to the drive via a composite shaft.

The current steering mechanism on the VAZ 2107, a product of the Volga Automobile Company, is quite informative and does not allow the driver to get tired during long trips. There are certain difficulties when turning in a parking lot, but as soon as the car begins to move, the resistance weakens and turning the steering wheel becomes easier.

There is one more nuance - when the steering mechanism is working properly, there is a slight play. But its limit value complies with the traffic rules. This is due to the fact that there are steering rods on the VAZ 2107 and an impressive number of elements in the gearbox.

In general, the steering of the 7 can be considered reliable.

Mechanism design

To repair the steering column on a VAZ 2107, you first need to understand its structure, as well as the principle of operation.

The seven is in many ways similar to the “penny”. Therefore, the device and design received minor changes. The structure includes:

1. A mechanism that transmits the driver’s force to the executive components;
2. A steering drive that turns at an angle specified by the driver.

In turn, the steering mechanism consists of:

1. Composite shaft with cardan transmission;
2. Steering wheel (steering column together with a steering wheel with a diameter of 520 mm);
3. Worm gearbox of the VAZ 2107 steering mechanism.

The control system has the following components:

1. Bipod;
2. Pendulum arm;
3. Swivel arms;
4. Steering rods for VAZ 2107 (one middle, two side).

The outer rods include two parts, which allows you to change their size by adjusting the toe angle.

Tie rod/end set for VAZ 2107

The operating principle of the steering mechanism looks like this:

• The driver begins to rotate the steering wheel, the wheel size of which ensures that this task can be performed quite simply;
• By means of a composite shaft, a worm gear is activated, which reduces the speed;
• The steering mechanism is lubricated with special oil (TAD 17) poured into the gearbox;
• The worm gears rotate, which causes the double ridge roller to move;
• This, in turn, causes the secondary shaft to rotate;
• The tray mounted on the secondary shaft makes a turn and pulls the rod system behind it;
• These components influence the levers that synchronously rotate the wheels to the required angle specified by the driver.

1 - crankcase; 2 - bipod; 3 — lower crankcase cover; 4 — adjusting shims; 5 — outer ring of the worm shaft bearing; 6 — separator with balls; 7 — bipod shaft; 8 - adjusting screw; 9 — adjusting plate; 10 — lock washer; 11 - worm shaft; 12 — upper crankcase cover; 13 - sealing gasket; 14 — bipod shaft sleeve; 15 — worm shaft seal; 16 — bipod shaft seal.

1 — steering gear housing; 2 - shaft seal; 3 - intermediate shaft; 4 - upper shaft; 5 — fixing plate of the front part of the bracket; 6 — bracket for fastening the steering shaft; 7 - upper part of the facing casing; 8 — bearing sleeve; 9 — bearing; 10 — steering wheel; 11 — lower part of the facing casing; 12 — bracket fastening parts

Repair and maintenance

Over the years of operation it has been proven that the steering on VAZ 2107 vehicles has impressive reliability. However, this does not take away the fact that the machine requires periodic inspection and repair.

• When performing maintenance, it is important to check for increased play as well as increased wear on the ball joints. To do this, you need to turn the steering wheel from one side to the other. If the wheels do not respond when the steering wheel is turned 5 degrees from its original position, this indicates severe wear. Here you will need to repair the steering column on a VAZ 2107.
• To avoid the need for urgent and rather expensive repairs of the steering gear on a VAZ 2107, it is necessary to change the oil in the worm gear housing. This is done at intervals of 60 thousand kilometers. Leaks may occur through the seals, so they are carefully checked 2-3 times a year. This is one of the weak points of the system.
• The swing arm should be inspected by slowly rotating the steering wheel from side to side. If the parts move in a vertical plane, then surgical intervention is required.

Check which parts have defects and what has failed. Inspection is required for each component of the mechanism. If parts are worn out, there is no point in trying to repair them. There is only one way out - a complete replacement of worn-out components of the steering system on a car from a Volga company.

If problems arise with the steering, it is advisable to contact a professional service station.

You can replace the gearbox yourself, but the process is complicated and requires at least minimal experience and skills.

The VAZ "Seven" is a true classic of the domestic automotive industry. Unlike modern LADAs, they are more reliable and durable, which is proven by the huge presence of these cars on our roads.

Of course, the VAZ 2107 has long been outdated, it does not have a hydraulic booster, and you have to apply sufficient force to turn and maneuver. But for connoisseurs this is not a problem.
