Summary of "Ön Düzen ve Direksiyon Sistemi / Motor Konu 7 / Ehliyet Konu Anlatımı"
This video is part 7 in a series about engine topics, specifically focusing on the front alignment and steering system, which is important for driving license exams. The instructor explains the components, functions, common problems, and safety aspects related to the steering and front Wheel Alignment systems of a vehicle.
Main Ideas and Concepts
- Purpose of the Front Alignment and Steering System: The system ensures the vehicle moves in the desired direction. The Steering Wheel is the primary control for directing the vehicle.
- Correct Steering Wheel Position: The recommended hand position on the Steering Wheel is at “9 and 3 o’clock” (referred to as “915” in the video), which is safest for control and airbag deployment.
- Key Components of the Front Alignment System:
- Steering Box: Transmits steering movements to the Tie Rods.
- Tie Rods and Tie Rod Ends: Transfer movement from the Steering Box to the front wheels, enabling directional changes.
- Rubber Parts (Bushings): These wear out over time and affect steering precision.
- Common Steering and Alignment Issues:
- Steering Wheel Gaps (Slack): Caused by worn Tie Rods, ball joints, or rubber parts, leading to delayed or incomplete steering response.
- Vehicle Pulling to One Side: Even when the Steering Wheel is held straight, the vehicle may drift right or left due to improper Wheel Alignment or worn components.
- Steering Wheel Vibration: Occurs at higher speeds due to improper Wheel Alignment or uneven tire wear.
- Difficulty Turning the Steering Wheel: May be caused by low Steering Gear Oil or low tire pressure.
- Maintenance Recommendations:
- Wheel Alignment and balancing should be done at least once a year or every 15,000 kilometers for safety and tire longevity.
- Steering Gear Oil levels should be checked and refilled if necessary to avoid steering issues.
- Safety Considerations:
- Proper hand positioning on the Steering Wheel ensures effective airbag deployment and quick access to controls like turn signals and windshield wipers.
- Faulty steering or alignment increases the risk of accidents due to reduced vehicle control.
- Exam Relevance:
- Questions may cover the function of the steering system, causes of Steering Wheel slack, symptoms of faulty alignment, and maintenance procedures.
- Examples include identifying causes of uneven tire wear, explaining the effects of worn Tie Rods, and recognizing signs of low Steering Gear Oil.
Methodology / Instructions (Bullet Points)
- Steering Wheel Handling:
- Hold the Steering Wheel at 9 and 3 o’clock positions for best control and safety.
- Use paddles/levers for turn signals and other controls without removing hands from the wheel.
- Identifying Steering Problems:
- Check for gaps or slack in the Steering Wheel movement.
- Notice if the vehicle pulls to one side while driving straight.
- Observe any vibrations in the Steering Wheel at speed.
- Assess difficulty in turning the Steering Wheel.
- Maintenance Actions:
- Inspect Tie Rods, ball joints, and rubber bushings for wear.
- Ensure Steering Gear Oil is at proper levels and refill with appropriate oil if low.
- Maintain proper tire air pressure.
- Perform Wheel Alignment and balancing annually or every 15,000 km.
- Safety Tips:
- Regularly check steering and alignment systems to avoid accidents.
- Understand the symptoms of system malfunctions for timely repairs.
