mog steering problems

[sonic]

is everthing straight underneath bent trackrod on a landie that would only go to full lock one way rod caught on diff the other way

[treequip]

It’s most likely a ZF steering box, with a sticking valve which is why it will go one way and not the other, either that or it has been leaking and has a “gobfull” of air in one side, they can be a PITA to bleed.

 

Darwen for 9ish then, breakfast is on you

Dave, for us lesser mortals who dont have mogs, could you briefly explain the system......

You don't think I know

 

They have a hydraulic steering box, which gives you power steering.

 

There is a piston in the steering box, which acts like a rack (as in rack and pinion steering) this rack moves a sort of 1/4 gear on the end of the arm thats attached to the drag link (I think its called)

 

In the center of the piston there is a steering worm with a spiral grove round it, there is a series of balls that move up the grove and allow oil through which increases the oil pressure at that end of the piston pushing it and turning the wheels.

 

Its sort of a double acting ram, (mine's 5tonne!!) so as Treequip says if on end is full of air you won't get pressure at that end.

 

Alex explained it to me much better than I just have
