The steering system consists of a steering wheel, a steering shaft, a steering gearbox and steering rods. The steering wheel is fixed to the steering shaft, which connects it to the steering gearbox. The toothed rack moves in the steering gearbox.

Each end of the threaded rack is connected via ball joints to the steering rods. They transmit steering forces through the steering tip joints and steering knuckles to the front wheels.
The rack and pinion steering should have a smooth movement and no play throughout the entire rotation range. It does not require maintenance, except for checking the condition of the sealing cuffs.
Some models or certain equipment configurations are equipped with power steering to make driving easier. For instructions on this, see section 16.6.
Attention: Self-locking nuts must be replaced. Welding and straightening work on the steering is not allowed. If you lack experience and need to carry out major repairs, visit a service station.
