Hydraulic power steering
for LADA 110, 111 and 112
The steering gear and its securing components is
shown in Fig.1, the power steering pump is illustrat-
ed in Fig.2, and for the steering gear exploded view
see Fig.3.
Steering gear 5 (Fig.1) complete with the tie rods
is attached to the dashboard with two clamps 6.
These gear is clamped through rubber mountings 7
and 11 and secured with nuts and welded bolts.
The fluid level is monitored against the level indi-
cator on the oil tank cap (Fig.2). When oil pump 1 is
cold and the engine is not running, the fluid level
should be between two markings on the cap of tank
6. A fuel level drop may be taken for an indication of
a leak in the power steering system and requires
immediate correction.
Do not start the engine if the power steering
system is not filled with oil, otherwise the power
steering components may be damaged.

Steering Gear Removal and
Refitting
Removal
Place the vehicle on a hoist and perform the fol-
lowing operations:
– working from inside the passenger compart-
ment remove the pinch bolt securing the middle
steering shaft;
– open the car bonnet, turn the front wheels fully
right (left), undo the nuts of the balljoint pins, extract
the pins from the suspension swivel struts using tool
A.47035;

8, 10 – low pressure tube; 11, 17 – high pressure tube; 13 – bolt, high pressure tube; 15 – bolt, low pressure tube; 16, 18 – high pressure
hoses; 19 – supplying hose
– remove the clamp securing hose 9 (Fig.2) to low
pressure tube 10 and carefully drain the power steer-
ing system;
– undo the nut securing hose 16 to tube 11. Drain
the remaining fluid from the system. Plug the discon-
nected hoses and tubes to prevent ingression of
dust, dirt or other foreign matter;
– undo the securing nuts and remove protective
cover 1 (Fig.1);
– undo the securing nuts and remove clamps 6
retaining the steering gear to dashboard;
– force the steering gear forward and out from the
aperture in the dashboard, turn the steering gear
counterclockwise;
– remove steering gear assembly 5 complete with
tie rods and tubes 10 and 11.
Refitting
Refitting of the steering gear is a reversal of
removal adjusted for the following:
– before refitting the steering gear, make sure the
steering wheel spike is in a horizontal position and
marking “R” on pinion dust cap 29 (Fig.3) is aligned
against the corresponding marking on hydraulic
servo control 28 (alignment error should not exceed
±1°). In this position connect the middle shaft and the
pinion shaft;
– tighten the ballpin nuts with a torque wrench
and secure them with cotter pins. If the slot in the nut
and the hole for the cotter pin do not coincide, turn
the nut to less than 60°;
– wet rubber mountings 7 and 11 with soapy water
to facilitate refitting of clamps 6 (Fig.1);
– ensure that top face of outer tie rod end 3 is par-
allel to the top face of the swivel arm and the distance
from the adjuster pin nut to the outer tie rod end is
10.6–16.3 mm and to the tie rod inboard end is
10.8–14.2 mm;
– after refitting fill the hydraulic system with 1.5 –
1.6 litres of «Pentosin Hydraulic Fluid CHF11S». Fill
the fluid through tank 6 (Fig.2) with the cap removed;
fill the fluid to the “MAX” marking on the cap of tank
6. Top up as necessary.
Dismantling, Inspection and
Reassembly
Dismantling
Clamp the steering gear in a vise with soft mater-
ial pads or in tool 67.7820.9545 to dismantle and
reassemble the gear.
Remove clamps 5 and 35 (Fig.3), then remove
dust cap 36.
Unbend the ends of locking plate 2 to release
retaining bolts 1, undo the retaining bolts and recov-
er outer link 3, inner tie rod ends, inner link 3 and
gaiter 4. Remove staple 45 and support 46.

hydraulic servo distributor 28 and rack 44 for signs of
wear, scoring or notches. Replace worn or damaged
components.
Roller bearing 33 should be renewed if removed.
Check gaiter 4 and cap 36. Renew if torn or
cracked.

3. Hydraulic system must remain sealed at
12 MPa (122.366 kgf/cm2) of fluid pressure.
4. Adjustment of clearance between damper slip-
per 38 and nut 40:
– slide the rack in the middle position (achieved
when distance between pinion axis and the end of
rack 44 is 92.5 mm) and lock using tool
67.7820.9545;
– tighten nut 40 to 15 N·m (1.53 kgf·m) and punch
it in three evenly spaced points. After locking the nut
should not yield to less than 15 N·m (1.53 kgf·m);
– slide the rack 6 times lock-to-lock and stop it in
a neutral position. To slide the rack apply 20 N·m
(2.039 kgf·m) to the pinion at 50 rpm without exceed-
ing the rack maximum travel;
– slacken the nut by 60° (5 divisions marked on
the nut face) then tighten by 12° (1 division);
– with the rack locked in middle position, apply
±15 N•m (1.53 kgf·m) to the pinion to determine the
actual slack in the rack-to-pinion connection, which
should not exceed 0.07 mm when the pinion is rotat-
ed ±90°, and 0.25 mm in all other positions. Readjust
if necessary;
– at least 1.5 N·m (0.153 kgf·m) should be
required to undo the nut; punched marks on the nut
and steering box should not coincide.

6. Tighten the fastening bolts of hydraulic servo
distributor 28 to 23±2 N•m (2.33±0.2 kgf·m).
7. Position the tie rods at 4°30’±2° above the rack
axis. Tighten bolts 1 to 95±10 N•m (9.687±1.020
kgf·m).
8. Tighten bolt 14 to 45-5 N·m (4.589-5.601
kgf·m).
9. Tighten bolt 10 to 9±1 N·m (0.917±0.120
