At each maintenance of the car, check the condition of the anthers of the steering mechanism 7 (see "Steering diagram VAZ Lada Kalina 1118"), anther 27 of the steering rod joints and their tight fit. Anthers must be replaced in the presence of cracks, ruptures and other defects that violate the tightness, otherwise water, dirt and dust that have entered the nodes will quickly disable them.

Make sure that when the steering wheel and vehicle wheels are straight, the steering wheel spoke is horizontal. Otherwise, determine the cause of the malfunction and eliminate it.

Turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, visually and aurally check the following:

- the operation of the steering column adjustment mechanism. When the adjustment lever is lowered, the steering column should move up and down smoothly, without jerking and jamming, and when the lever is raised, it should be securely fixed in the set position.

- no gap in silent blocks (rubber-metal joints), steering rod joints, riveted and splined joints of the elastic coupling of the steering shaft;

- the reliability of tightening the bolts 20 (see "The steering mechanism of the car Lada Kalina VAZ 1118") and locking them with a plate 21 for fastening the rods to the rail and nuts of the pins of the hinges of the outer tips 4 (see "The steering diagram of the car Lada Kalina VAZ 1118") steering rods ;

- Are there any jamming and knocking in the steering that prevents the steering wheel from turning.

- the condition of the right and left protective caps of the steering mechanism. A damaged cap must be replaced with a new one.

If knocks and jams are found in the steering, disconnect the transverse rods from the swing arms of the telescopic suspension struts and repeat the test. After making sure that knocks and jams come from the steering, remove the steering from the car, check the clearance between the steering rack stop and the nut. If necessary, replace worn steering parts and adjust the gap between stop and nut. If the jamming and knocking does not stop, you need to remove the steering gear from the car and replace it.

Useful advice:

Repair of the steering mechanism of the VAZ Lada Kalina 1118 is recommended to be carried out in a specialized center.

To check the play in the steering, set the front wheels and the steering wheel in a position corresponding to the rectilinear movement of the car.

The position corresponding to the rectilinear movement of the car VAZ (Lada) Kalina 1118

Turn the steering wheel in both directions until the wheels begin to turn (while the wheels must remain stationary). The total play of the steering wheel of the VAZ Lada Kalina 1118 should not exceed 5 ° (corresponds to a steering wheel turn of 15 mm) provided that the steering mechanism, steering rods, front wheel hub bearings and telescopic struts are in good condition. If necessary, replace the defective parts and tighten the loose fastenings of the steering elements. The presence of knocking and play in the rubber-metal joints of the steering rods and ball joints of the tie rod ends is not allowed.
