Steering System Maintenance
Structure Introduction
The steering wheel has an airbag module which should only be inspected and repaired by a professional. The
steering column's upper section adopts a steel deformation and energy absorbing crumple structure which
ensures collision protection for the driver. The lower section uses a high precision sliding spline structure,
which can effectively eliminate structural interference caused by body deformation. The steering column angle
is adjustable, which can more easily adapt to the driver, and at the same time possesses reasonable reverse
efficiency to ensure the driver has a good feel for the road. Steering sys\
tem is as shown below:
Steering column assembly removal and
installation
1. Remove the airbag.
(a) Disconnect the battery's negative cable, and wait for
one minute before canceling the airbags function in
order to avoid unnecessary injury.
(b) To ensure steering column's proper installation, during
the entire removal process, the front tires must keep
straight.
(c) Remove the two hexagon screws and the airbag module.

2. Remove the steering wheel.
(a) Remove the lock nut Q32012 (M12×1.25) of steering
wheel with a M18 socket wrench in the counterclock-
wise direction.
(b) Grip the entire steering wheel and shake it several
times, and then to pull out the steering wheel upwards.
3. Remove the upper and lower trim cover of the combina-
tion switch.
4. Remove the left and right combination switch and the
ignition lock.
(a) Pull out the wire harness on the left and right
combination switch and the ignition lock.
(b) Remove the left and right combination switch and the
ignition lock.
5. Screw off the bolt 3404202-S08 connected the steering
column and steering propeller shaft with a M13 socket
wrench in the counterclockwise direction.
6. Screw off the two flange bolts Q1840820 (d2=22) which
are in the upper part of steering column connected
to instrument brace reinforcement with a M13 socket
wrench in the counterclockwise direction, and screw
off one flange bolt Q1840850 which is in the lower
part of steering column connected to instrument brace
reinforcement with a M10 socket wrench in the counter-
clockwise direction. Follow the column's upper axes
and pull out the steering column assembly.

7. Manually rotate the two plastic buckles 3412012-S08 in
the counterclockwise direction, and remove the steer-
ing dust cover installed on the steering propeller shaft.
8. Remove the bolt 3404202-S08 connecting the steering
propeller shaft and steering drive connection shaft with
a M13 socket wrench, and then pull out the propeller
shaft.
9. Pull out the steering propeller connection shaft's jacket
assembly 3412100-S08. Remove the bolts 3404202-
S08 which are on the steering propeller connection
shaft and steering gear with a M13 socket wrench, and
then pull out steering propeller connection shaft.
10. Install the steering column assembly by reversing the
removal steps. Pay attention to items below:
(a) While installing the steering column and propeller
shaft, and propeller shaft and steering gear, after insert-
ing the screw into the threaded hole, the screw should
align perfectly with the circular groove, as shown on
the left:
(b) When installing the steering wheel, ensure that the
front tires are in a straight line, make the vehicle logo
on the top of the steering wheel face straight ahead, and
ensure the inner steering spine and steering shaft spline
are aligned.
(c) Fasten the bolts and nuts according to the specified
torque.

Power steering gear removal and installation
1. Screw off the flange bolt connecting the steering col-
umn's lower section and the power steering small gear
shaft with a M13 socket wrench, and then pull out
steering column’s lower section.
2. Remove the steering tie rod ball assembly.
Loosen the hexagon slotted nuts (thread space: 1.25)
Q387B12 with a M18 socket wrench.
3. Hammer the circumference of the steering knuckle arm
with a hammer along the direction of the taper bores
until the tie rod ball and steering knuckle arm's taper
fittings loosen, then pull out the tie rod ball downwards.

Removal and installation of the power
steering pump on the engine:
Remove the power steering pump after removing the high
pressure port of the power steering pipeline and steering
pump, as well as the inlet hose.
1. Loosen and adjust the bracket's hexagon bolts
Q1401025 (M10×1.25) with a M13 socket wrench,
l o o s e n t h e p u m p b e l t a r e a , a n d t h e n r e m o v e t h e
steering pump belt.
2. Loosen the hexagon flange mounting bolt Q1841090
(M10×1.25). After pulling out the hexagon flange mounting
bolt, complete the disassembly of the steering pump.
3. Tightening torque for installing the tension regulator
bracket: 40±4 N·m.
Install the tightening torque of the steering pump
mounting bracket: 25±3 N·m
4. After the installation of the power steering pump and
steering pump belt is completed, adjust the tension
of the entire power steering pump belt. Belt tension
should be 450±50 N.
Use an exertion force of 98 N in the middle of the belt.
Belt deflection should be 4-6 mm.
Power Steering Fluid Instructions
Replace the power steering fluid in the following situations:
1. After driving a new vehicle for 6000 km.
2. After replacing any part of the power steering gear, power steering pump and steering pipeline.
3. Driving 6000 km after replacing power steering gear and power steering p\
ump.
Caution:
1. The expelled power steering fluid after replacing power steering compone\
nts cannot be reused.
2. Only use ATF DEXRON III power steering fluid.
3. No matter when the PS fluid reservoir level drops, check the PS fluid reservoir, steering pump, power
steering gear, and steering pipeline, as well as all the connections.
Methods:
Two people are required to add power steering fluid. With the engine off, one person pours the fluid
into the PS fluid reservoir, while the other repeatedly turns the steering wheel from lock to lock for
more than 10 laps, until the steering fluid level is between MAX and MIN. Start the engine and turn
the wheel from lock to lock again (Caution: Do not leave it at the two extreme points for more than 5s).
When the fluid level goes down, refill the steering fluid until it is be\
tween MAX and MIN.
Technical Requirements
1. Mounting bolts with thread fastening glue for the power steering gear, tightening torque is 107±7 N·m
The coupling torque for the steering gear's tie rod and tie rod ball is \
74±7 N·m
The coupling torque for the steering tie rod ball stud and steering knuc\
kle is 49±5 N·m
2. The tightening torque for the steering column assembly and steering gear assembly's secure coupling
bolt is 25±3 N·m
The coupling bolt torque for the steering column and dashboard brace rei\
nforcement is 25±3 N·m
Torque for the fixed steering wheel nut on the upper section of the steer\
ing column is 50±4 N·m
3. Fasten the steering wheel center
Keep the front wheel pointed straight ahead, make sure not to change the direction of the steering rod, and
take down the steering wheel. Install the steering wheel in the center. The steering wheel's radial should be
in the middle, and the Great Wall logo should be in the direct sight of the driver, then tighten nuts.
Tightening torque: 50±5 N·m
4. Steering wheel free clearance inspection
Keep the vehicle centered, stop the engine, and turn the wheel left with a force of about 5 N. If
resistance is felt, stop when the resistance increases. Then turn right and stop under the same
situation. Measure the angle that the steering wheel turns along the outer edge. The angle value
measured is the steering wheel's free clearance. Its standard value should be less than 20°, and from
the middle position it should not turn at a left or right angle larger t\
han 10°.
