How to tighten the steering rack on Grant

The knock of the steering rack on the Grant was inherited by this car from the younger model - Kalina. In fact, the design of the rail is no different and the catalog number remains the same. As for adjusting the steering rack, you can do it yourself, having at hand the necessary tool for this:

• special key for tightening the rail
• 10 head and ratchet (for unscrewing the battery terminals)
• 13 mm head - for removing the battery platform

How to tighten the steering rack on Lada Granta

So, there are two ways you can go:

1. The easiest and fastest is to tighten the rail with a special key, inserting it into the hole where the tie rod passes on the left side of the Grants body.
2. The second method is longer - it is suitable if the hand does not fit into the hole in the body from the side of the wheel. In this case, you will have to remove the battery and its platform to get to the adjusting nut.

So, everything is clear with the first method, as for the second, we will consider it in more detail. First of all, we unscrew and remove the terminals from the car battery.

Then we remove the battery, and proceed to dismantle its platform.

Now that the platform has been removed, you need to get to the adjusting nut from the inside of the steering rack housing.

The rail is pulled up clockwise, ch, take into account the fact that it is in an inverted state, so the move will be, as it were, counterclockwise.

Please note that to adjust the rail on the Grant, you need to buy a special key that is designed for the VAZ 2110 rail. Its price is no more than 150 rubles, and sometimes they are sold combined: on the one hand for the rail - on the other for the timing rollers.
