Question 284 of 533

Which of the following malfunctions creates excessive play in the steering wheel?

A the pinion has no play relative to the rack;
B pronounced wear of the gears in the steering gearbox;
C pronounced wear of the tie rod ends.

Explanation

Pronounced wear of the gears in the steering gearbox and of the tie rod ends can lead to excessive play in the steering wheel. If the gears of the steering gearbox wear out, excessive spaces appear between the teeth, which delays the transmission of movement to the wheels and reduces steering precision. At the same time, wear of the tie rod ends creates additional play in their joints, which can lead to uncontrolled oscillations of the wheels and to imprecise steering, requiring frequent corrections. These problems affect the safety and control of the vehicle, being frequent causes of excessive steering play.

The correct answer is: B and C
