Installation and connection of the power steering on the “Seven”: to turn the steering wheel “with one finger. Installing electric power steering

Many have probably heard that in the VAZ 2110 you can install electric power steering from Priora. Is it difficult to install DIY EUR from Priora for VAZ 2110? Which price of EUR from Priora and where can I get it order. I tried to answer all these questions in this article.

There are two types of mechanisms, which make turning the steering wheel easier: power steering(hydraulic power steering) and EUR(electric power steering).

IN general outline This is power steering: pump driven crankshaft, pumps oil or a similar fluid, and through a fairly complex set of small parts in and outside the rack and fluid pressure helps to rotate the steering wheel.
EUR is simpler: electric motor, torsion bar, a pair of sensors and an ECU. Principle: the torsion bar is twisted, the torque is read by the sensor, and the electric motor applies a little Newton meters of force to the output shaft.

Pros of EUR:

During operation, the power steering does not require intervention/maintenance, unlike the power steering (it is at least worth keeping an eye on the oil and tubular connections).
The electric motor of the EUR works only when it is necessary to turn the steering wheel (when the torsion bar begins to twist), in a stationary position it practically does not work, nor does it work after reaching a certain speed prescribed in the ECU. Power steering, unlike its brother, works constantly, its motor constantly spins at the knee and threshes fluid, even if the car is standing without a driver.
In cold weather, the EUR performed better. It doesn't need to warm up like the power steering.

Disadvantages of EUR:

The EUR is weaker. Although on light cars, like our dozens, this is practically not noticeable.

Approximate price for the set:

EUR - 9715 rub. (21700-3450008-01)
Promval— 1000 rub. (21100-3401092-10)
Plate— 800r and above
Wiring— 1500 rub.
Steering wheel and casing VAZ 2170— 2000 rub. (11180-3402015-00, 21700-3403065/3116-00)

Total price a new set will cost you about 15,000 rubles.

Where to buy a set of EUR Priora for VAZ 2110?
You can order in Kaluga from the factory directly.
In the online store “Everything for Auto”

Is it worth installing EUR on our VAZ 2110?
A question without a clear answer.
I can't say it's a waste of money.. Since the effect of installing the EUR is very good. Turning the steering wheel really becomes easy.
But it cannot be said that there are no negative sides.. For example, the price of an EUR kit from Priora is about 15 thousand rubles. not many people will like it. In addition, the kit also needs to be installed, and this is a very separate issue. easy story with sawing, drilling and swearing all day long. After installation, not everything will be smooth with cracks, steering wheel height adjustment, etc.
In general, look at how others independently install the EUR on a VAZ 2110 and you will understand everything yourself:

———————————————————————————————————
During disassembly I purchased a Viburnum steering wheel with a small bonus

I bought an EUR, here it is in a box, a control unit, markings of the EUR itself

The pads are the same as on the 10th EUR

Papers included with EUR

Then I bought a drain from Priora with a tricky mechanism

Measured the length of the shafts
The difference was 4 cm with an error on the larger side
Length: 25.5 cm when fully extended
So, taking into account the experience of the installers, that the drain shaft needs to be shortened by 3 cm, nothing needs to be lengthened, it seems

Then the ordered wiring arrived

This is what the blocks look like, that is, there will be no need for any twists, I removed the terminal from the block, inserted it onto the block in the harness and inserted the free terminal of the harness into the place where I removed the standard wire, it is already set to 50A

EUR connectors and harness blocks in them

As for the wiring too - you can do without a special harness - all you need to do is run two power wires from the battery with a cross-section of 4 squares, a 50 A fuse from Shnivy, the rest is all low current - to the tachometer, to the speed sensor, + 12V after the 3Z, ground, to -line and wire to the control lamp.

But since there was not enough adapter plate and it was unknown when it would arrive, I decided to cut it out myself
We take the workpiece, mark it and cut it out with a jigsaw. Thickness approximately 4mm.

We remove the casing, switches, ignition switch.

We adjust the plate in place

We put the shaft on the EUR, we put the EUR in place and we see that the shaft is too small. It fits literally 1 mm onto the rail, I had to take it off and think about it.
It was not possible to distort the drain shaft, since it was hollow and had to be chemically mixed with the plate and priorol.
Prioral has undergone changes in this part

Well, I had to re-drill the plate in order to drive the EUR deeper, this did not give much benefit, I installed spacers between the plate and the body.
So the EUR is installed, the shaft has more or less climbed onto the rail, but not completely, the bolt cannot be inserted.
I had to take a smaller bolt and clamp it to death and sculpt a limiter onto the shaft so that the cardan could not slide back in any way.

Next we hook central part switches

The next step is wiring.
You need to stretch two wires to the battery from the passenger compartment; you need to pull them through the left fender; to do this, open the fuse box and look for the bundle of wires going under the hood.
We remove the washer reservoir, take the wire and stick it into the wires

From here she climbs out.

We attach the wires to the other end and pull them into the engine compartment

We remove the instrument panel, pull out the red block, drag the wiring into the under-panel space and remove the orange wire from the red block.

We attach the block that came with the wires to it.
We connect to the EUR wiring, with the orange wire (this is the 1st leg in the EUR block, +12V power supply)
And we push the end with the bare terminal of the EUR wiring into the place of the standard one into the red block.

We do the same with the gray wire of the red block.
The gray end (this is the 3rd leg of the EUR control block, the signal from the speed sensor) and with the brown-red white block (this is the 2nd leg of the EUR signal block, the low-voltage signal from the tachometer)

One of the problems that designers have faced since the beginning of the automotive era is to make steering easier. For a long time, there was only one solution: increase the diameter of the steering wheel and increase the drive ratio. This method made it relatively easy to handle even multi-ton trucks. There were almost no requirements for comfort and ergonomics, so the fact that to maneuver the driver had to make 5-6 turns with the huge steering wheel from edge to edge was not taken into account. Nowadays, engineers have found a more elegant solution - electric power steering.

This mechanism, using an electric motor, creates an auxiliary force on the steering shaft when turning it. It appeared relatively recently and is gradually beginning to displace its predecessors - hydraulic and electric hydraulic booster.

Design and principle of operation of electric power steering

The main elements of the system are a brushless electric motor, mechanical transmission(servo drive), steering angle and torque sensors and control unit. Additionally, the mechanism can be equipped with a steering speed sensor. The servo drive design varies across different vehicle types (more on this below).

The main sensor in the electric power steering is the torque sensor. It is made as follows: a torsion bar is built into the section of the steering shaft, at the ends of which sensor elements are installed, the operating principle of which can be optical or magnetic.

The operating principle of electric power steering is as follows. When the steering wheel is turned, the torsion bar on the shaft is twisted the more strongly, the greater the force applied. The magnitude of the applied force is estimated by the relative position of the sensor parts. The measured value is transmitted to the control unit. The second sensor measures the angle of rotation of the steering wheel and also transmits measurements to the control unit, which additionally receives data on the speed of the vehicle (from ABS systems) and engine speed (from the controller). And based on all the information received, the electronic control unit calculates the amount of auxiliary force and supplies the electric motor with a voltage of the required value and polarity. Through a servo drive, the electric motor moves the steering rack or rotates the steering shaft.

When driving at low speeds, for example in a parking lot, when you have to quickly turn the wheels from one extreme position to another, the electric motor operates with maximum power, and the so-called “light steering” is provided. And vice versa, when the car is driving along the highway at high speed, the steering wheel turns at small angles, so the auxiliary force is minimal, the steering wheel turns out to be “heavier”. In addition, electric power steering can increase the reaction force that occurs when turning the wheels, helping them return to their center position.

Often there is a need to maintain the average position of the wheels, for example, in the event of strong gusts of side wind or uneven tire pressure, in such situations the control unit provides a constant corrective force. IN software systems are built in to compensate for the pull of a front-wheel drive vehicle to the side due to different lengths wheel drive shafts.

Electric power steering design

Despite the general structure, the electric power steering can be designed in different ways depending on the type of car it is installed on.

On small cars, the EUR is installed on the steering column. They do not require much force on the steering wheel, so the electric motor and mechanical transmission are compact and fit inside the car under the steering wheel. Sensors are also located there. As a result, the device is reliably protected from dust, dirt and high temperatures prevailing in the engine compartment, which has the best effect on its service life.

In middle-class cars, the electric power steering is located on the steering rack, the auxiliary force to which is transmitted through a gear.

SUVs and minibuses, due to their large mass, require a large auxiliary force, so they are equipped with an electric power steering of a parallel-axle design. The electric motor transmits force using a toothed belt drive and a “screw-nut on circulating balls” mechanism. The toothed belt rotates the nut, and it, in turn, moves through the balls steering rack. The balls circulate along the thread and return through a special channel in the nut.

Regardless of the version, the electric power steering is designed in such a way that even if it fails, the car will remain controllable, since the direct connection between the steering shaft and the rack will remain.

Advantages of electric steering over power steering and electric power steering

Drivers of cars equipped with hydraulic and electric power steering are forced to put up with their many disadvantages, namely:

You can keep the wheels in the extreme position for no more than five seconds, otherwise the oil in the system will overheat and the power steering will fail;
need for periodic maintenance(you need to monitor the oil level, change it, monitor the condition of the drives, hoses and pump);.
Power steering operation consumes part of the vehicle engine power;
the device operates in one mode, regardless of driving conditions;.
reduction in the information content of the steering wheel at high speeds (this drawback is partially eliminated through the use of a steering rack with a variable gear ratio).

The advantages of electric power steering are reliability, efficiency and compactness. Its operating principle is based on the operation of an electric motor, so the device is much simpler. The electric power steering is not driven by power unit car, moreover, it only works when driving, thanks to this you save from 0.4 to 0.8 liters of fuel, depending on driving style and road conditions. Electric power steering does not require maintenance, however, in the event of a breakdown, the faulty components are replaced entirely, so the cost of repairs increases significantly.

Perhaps the most important advantage of electric power steering is the ability to change the auxiliary force depending on the driving conditions of the vehicle, thereby achieving sharper control at high speeds and easier control at low speeds. In addition, the same model can be used on different machines, and all that is required is to change the settings electronic unit management.

VAZ 2110 cars are equipped with electric power steering, which makes drivers incredibly happy. This addition significantly improves the maneuverability and controllability of the car, which allows the driver to feel more confident on the road.

In addition, the driver does not need to exert much effort to control the steering wheel, which makes it possible to make long trips without feeling tired.

Electric power steering for VAZ 2110 cars can be installed independently if necessary, but to do this you need to understand the device.

Story

Back in 2002, engineers from the Novosibirsk Technical University developed this electric power steering, which has become so popular. After all stages of creating the device were completed, the device was tested at the VAZ plant for several years.

Russian manufacturers have done everything to ensure reliable and high-quality advantages of the unit over similar foreign-made devices. The amplifier uses alternating current, which ensures reliability and durability.

But the main thing for our drivers was the acceptable cost of this unit, much lower than that of Western components. In addition, the electric booster can become a reliable protector against theft. Since electric amplifiers were invented for domestic brands, they are produced respectively in Russia, at the Berdsk Electromechanical Plant, which became a subsidiary of VAZ.

The electric power steering itself was first invented and implemented back in 1990 in Japan at the factories of the Toyota concern. The first advantages of the device that it showed were characterized by the following indicators:

The unit operates even when the engine is turned off;
When the component operates, significant fuel savings may be observed over a period of time;
All controllability indicators are significantly improved;
Control reliability reaches great heights;
Creates good conditions safety while constantly driving.

Differences from power steering

You need to understand that power steering is a power steering and these two devices are constantly compared, figuring out which one is better. In general terms, we can say that these two components may have common characteristics, but the electric amplifier contains an electronic unit.

It is this difference that makes it more functional, and its performance is characterized by the following indicators:

The sensors of the electronic unit constantly monitor the speed of movement, they read its trajectory and monitor the serviceability of the working components;
After the data is collected, it is transferred to a special electronic control unit where it is processed;
The artificial intelligence of the control system changes the parameters of the master cylinder automatically;
The oil pressure level is adjusted only by the position of the valve; it can be either open or closed;
The higher the speed the car begins to pick up, the more intensively and actively the valve opens;
In the process of increasing speed, the severity of steering wheel control also increases in parallel, and this in turn increases the degree of safety and stability when driving the VAZ 2110;
In addition, the operation of the electric booster is not affected by the presence of fuel, it does not affect its consumption.

Principle of operation

The work of EMURU, that is, the electromechanical power steering, is aimed at reducing the driver’s control efforts. The device is also designed to actively return the steered wheels and steering wheel to their original position after a maneuver. Fewer turns of the steering wheel will return the wheels to their original position.

Thanks to the device, the car returns to straight-line motion faster, which ensures driving safety.

The unit itself is a modular design that is built into the steering column.

The module consists of two main components:

The power unit is a synchronous electric device;
Control type controller.

The installation of an electric booster is especially important if the owner of a VAZ 2110 installs wider tires on large-diameter wheels compared to standard factory ones. Such a problem as an “unruly” steering wheel is eliminated in the case of electric power assistance; the steering wheel obeys the driver even with a light touch.

If previously the driver had to constantly hold the steering wheel with both hands and put a lot of effort into turning it, now everything can be done with one finger.

Thanks to these indicators, the VAZ 2110 is considered one of the safest cars on domestic roads.

Specifications

Like any other module in a car, the electric amplifier has its own indicators that must be taken into account. To make it clear what this unit is, its technical characteristics should be given:

The maximum torque compensation is 35 Nm;
Current consumption at average Mmax = 35 Nm and steering wheel rotation speed of 360 degrees per second is 50A;
Operating temperatures range from - 40 to + 85 degrees Celsius;
The total mass of the unit is 9.5 kilograms;
Engine with electronically controlled- reactive inductor;
The rotation is reversed;
The presence of three phases;
A worm gearbox with three starts is installed;
The worm shaft is made of 40x steel;
The worm wheel is made of carbon fiber UPA 6/30-2.

These are all the characteristics of a component that you need to know in order to interact with it. These indicators are especially relevant because the amplifier is an electrical unit and you need to be careful with it.

Component Benefits

The electric steering wheel has a number of advantages, which led to the fact that it is installed not only on the VAZ 2110, but also on other models of this plant. Besides technical characteristics it has other equally important indicators:

Simplicity of installation work when installing the unit;
The unit consumes a relatively small amount of electricity;
The unit does not affect the environmental performance of the car;
Possible installation of the unit on other VAZ models;
Parametric indicators, that is, an effective reduction in torque according to an increase in vehicle speed;
During operation, no additional care or use of various special materials is required;
At low temperatures, this option for strengthening the steering wheel performs better.

The only drawback of this device is the fact that it works a little weaker than the same hydraulic booster.

But in the case of domestic roads, this gain is quite enough to feel comfortable behind the wheel.

Preparing for installation

The fact is that not all VAZ 2110 cars are equipped with this pleasant component, so drivers often have to install the amplifier themselves. This work is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, and if you follow some rules, you can carry it out quite effectively.

In addition, you can even purchase a new electric amplifier via the Internet and, after fiddling around a little in the garage, install it on your “top ten”. Since the cost of the unit is not so small, saving on installation will be pleasant and practical.

In order to install an electric booster on a VAZ car, you must first prepare some tools and spare parts:

Electric power steering;

Plate;

Set of wires;

Steering wheel and casing;

Screwdrivers of different configurations;
Ruler;
Drill.

Installation

No oils or other substances are required, since the work is done with electricity and not with mechanical components. After all components are prepared, you should proceed to direct installation, which will take place in the following sequence:

It is necessary to remove the standard terminal from the block and move it to the block located on the harness;

After this, the free terminal extending from the harness moves to the place where the standard wire was located, adjacent to the block. This will make it possible to pass a standard type wire between the harnesses. The wire coming from the blocks has a rating of 50 A;

Now you need to slowly separate the steering shaft housing, then remove the ignition switch and separate the switches. This must be done slowly to prevent cracking of the casing;

Carefully unscrew the bolt that holds the steering rack and then remove the rack itself;

It is necessary to measure the length of the shafts and if you need to adjust the plate, for this you need to use a ruler and perhaps even write down the indicators;

The electric amplifier is installed in the free space; to do this, you need to select the required shaft size, since it does not fit on the rail. To adjust the shaft to the required size, the plate and shaft are ground to fit the Priora shafts. It is the parts from the VAZ Priora that are best suited for this;

After the shaft is adjusted, it is necessary to drill the plate deeper than it already is. This is not difficult to do, since the shaft is a hollow structure;

The plate is installed on the amplifier and thereby the resulting depth is checked. If everything is fine, then you need to firmly clamp the entire structure using a smaller bolt;

Now you should install the switches in their places and proceed to the wiring. To do this, you need to lead two wires directly to the battery from the passenger compartment, through the left fender;

Next you need to remove and take the wire. With its help you need to attach the two wires that were brought out. They need to be attached to the end of the opposite wire and pulled through both;

Needs to be removed dashboard and take out the red block from there, slowly tighten the wiring into the space under the panel. Then remove the orange wire from the red box;

You need to attach a red box to this wire and combine it with the electrical amplifier wiring. In this case, the end with the exposed terminal of the amplifier wiring is placed on the free standard wire in the red block;

We connect the orange wire to the EUR wiring, put the “bare” end of the wire in place of the standard one in the red block

You also need to do the same with the gray wire, which also comes out of the red block. It must also be pulled into the place of its regular counterpart and secured with a terminal;
After which you need to move to the battery and securely fasten the black wire, that is, MINUS, to the pink wire, that is, PLUS;
After this, you need to connect all the electric power steering wiring and start it or just turn it by hand.

The installation of the electric amplifier is complete, all that remains is to carefully install all the components in their places.

To do this, you need to put back all the switches and fit in place the casing and steering wheel, which will cover the steering shaft.

This material will help make dismantling the steering rack easier:

Fit

If the installation work of the electric amplifier is carried out by an experienced technician, who may go somewhat beyond the scope of the proposed instructions, then it should be said about how the electric amplifier is adjusted to the VAZ 2110.

After the main actions from the above list have been carried out, the following adjustment can be made:

Align the steering wheel;
Eliminate all cracks and gaps between parts;
Install the LED diagnostic sensor for the electric amplifier;
Slightly shorten the power cable;
If necessary, replace damaged parts and damaged parts of the casing.

After this, you should once again carefully inspect the steering system while sitting in the cabin. Eliminate the last defects and rub the panel and steering wheel with polish. Only after this can you begin further operation of the machine. It is the maintenance of cleanliness and order in the car interior that leads to the driver’s concentration behind the wheel.

Repair

The AvtoVAZ manufacturer does not provide repairs to the electric power steering, only complete replacement assembled. Therefore, all repairs are carried out by the owner of the car at his own peril and risk.

It must always be remembered that do-it-yourself repair DIY electric power steering for VAZ 2110 can lead to an accident!

The price for the VAZ 2110 electric power steering and components is as follows:

a new electric amplifier costs on average from 13,000 to 18,000 rubles; you can order it in online stores with delivery by mail to any region of Russia, or directly from the factory;
a used electric amplifier costs from 2,000 to 6,000 rubles, depending on the condition, it’s worth looking on local bulletin boards, avito.ru, etc.

Installation components can also be sold separately:

steering shaft for installing electric power steering - price about 1,000 rubles;
bracket for installing electric power steering - price about 1,000 rubles;
wiring harness for connecting the EUR - cost about 1,500 rubles;
imitation of an electronic speed sensor (for carburetor engines) - approximately 1,500 rubles.

Conclusion

From the information above, it becomes clear that the EUR on the VAZ 2110 has a lot of positive indicators, which made it popular. During operation, this component does not require any intervention or additional materials.

Electric power steering requires no maintenance or adjustment. It performs well in frosty Russian conditions and its performance does not change in any way due to this.

There is no need to pre-warm the car before driving, which means the driver can hit the road faster.

But along with this, the device also has disadvantages, although in the case of the VAZ 2110 this is not noticeable. Each driver has the opportunity to independently decide which amplifier suits him best, especially since you can install an electric amplifier yourself.

If you want to make driving a VAZ 2110 safe and comfortable, then you should give preference to the electric booster.

In order to make life easier for the driver by being able to rotate steering wheel“with one finger”, to confidently park a car without breaking your hands at low speeds and speeds, power steering has long existed throughout the civilized world, which can be installed on a VAZ “classic” without much pain.

Why is it necessary to install power steering on a VAZ 2107?

There are many possible answers. The most in demand are the following:

the car is used by the head of the family or independently by representatives of the fair sex;
just for greater comfort and ease of control, because it’s convenient;
as an element of tuning the steering system.
Elderly drivers, fathers and grandfathers receive power steering as a gift from their sons, who are craftsmen.

What types of steering wheel torque amplifiers are there (simply - steering wheel)?

Power steering (power steering). Since the working medium that creates pressure is liquid, the kit includes the pump itself, hose, supply pipes, and reservoir. This amplifier uses oil under pressure. The design and installation itself are quite complex, and the amplifier itself needs to be maintained periodically. If this is done correctly, then the power steering will delight you with a smooth ride.

Statistics show that almost no one buys new VAZ 2107 to immediately install power steering. If you have money, they take a foreign car. So the amplifier is often installed on a used car. And it’s unlikely that anyone will want to invest about half the cost (about 31-32 thousand rubles in 2014 prices) into a VAZ 2107 worth 50-60 thousand rubles. Therefore, we will tell you in more detail about the more popular option - electromechanical amplifier(EUR). It is a little cheaper, its cost is about 20 thousand rubles.

Electromechanical power steering (electric power steering) copes well with the load, its installation is much easier and faster. It works on the VAZ 2107 almost as efficiently as oil power steering. And most importantly, it embodies the eternal dream of a motorist about regular maintenance, since it works on the “set it and forget it” principle. As the name suggests, the electric power steering is connected to the on-board 12 V power system (with a maximum current of 50A) and the steering.

Let's consider the domestic EUR for the VAZ 2107 produced by the Makhachkala plant "Aviaagregat".

Electric power steering is provided for the VAZ 21214, but it is quite suitable for the entire range of classics, including the VAZ 2107. It is attached instead of a regular steering column.

The principle of operation is the creation of additional torque by the electric motor, acting synergistically and synchronously with the driver’s hands. The steering wheel gain is 5.7. This means that the turning force at which the driver “put in” 20 kg own strength, now requires 3.5 kg.

What is included?

the amplifier itself;
bracket for mounting on the steering column of a VAZ 2107;
intermediate cardan;
auxiliary parts such as wires, fasteners and decorative casing.

How does electric power steering work?

The operating principle is complex, using feedback:

The torque sensor “catch” the direction and force applied to the steering wheel by the driver and transforms the impulses into an electrical signal; In addition to the torque sensor, there are sensors for crankshaft speed, vehicle speed, ignition key position, etc., each of them also generates a signal and sends them to the control unit.
The block, according to a special processing program, produces a summing signal, which is sent to the stator of the electric motor.
The electric motor performs “reverse work”, turning the electrical impulse into steering movement.

The presence of a speed sensor leads to the fact that faster car moves, the “weaker” the force, that is, the steering wheel becomes “heavier”. At the same time, the electric motor turns on only when needed, and then you can hear it hum slightly.

The EUR starts working on the VAZ 2107 4-6 seconds after the ignition is turned on.

If any problems occur in the power circuit, the electronics will simply turn off the power steering, the warning light will come on, and the car will return to manual control.

Installation of EUR. For this:

First, as with any work, we disconnect the ground from the battery.
replacing the cardan in the steering column;
drill mounting mounting holes according to the attached diagram;
We run the power supply wire, install the fuse and the crankshaft and speed sensor wires.
We install a protective casing on the outside.

The whole work takes about 2-3 hours. In order to install the device, almost all work is carried out in the salon.

The product warranty is 1 year from the date of purchase.

In general, if you are selflessly devoted to the VAZ 2107, then you can install electric power steering.

Another option: EUR from Priora. To install on a classic series, a special adapter plate and a special cardan are required.

The invention of electric power steering for the VAZ 2112 by Aviaagregat specialists turned out to be a pleasant event for the owners of this car.

Advantages

Its main difference from the hydraulic booster is that it is directly built into the steering column and there is no need to remake the steering mechanism - instead of the standard steering shaft, another unit is used that has a “cut” shaft, which, in turn, is equipped with a worm gear and a torsion torque sensor and an electric motor.

It was this design feature that enabled Aviaagregat specialists to adapt the electric booster to VAZs, including front-wheel drive ones with rack and pinion steering mechanisms. on the VAZ 2112 it develops 25 Nm on the steering shaft.

Flaws

Electric amplifiers are still not installed on VAZ conveyors. the main problem The problem is that the steering column, which has an electric power steering, requires the purchase of a new plastic casing (at the moment, installers are forced to simply trim the bottom edge of a simple casing).

And this, in turn, is a huge investment in modern “plastic” production stamps, so VAZ’s management does not plan to do this.

Positive experience

Those who rode a VAZ-2112 hatchback, in turn, “charged” by specialists from the famous tuning company Torgmash, can say that this serious car. After all, a 130-horsepower engine can push the speedometer needle to 200 km/h. The specialists modified it, based on their experience in racing, they changed the angles of the front wheels, increased the caster (i.e., this is the longitudinal inclination angle of the “virtual” wheel kingpin) from the standard value of 1.5° to 2.5°.

The result was excellent directional stability at fairly high speeds and an incredibly heavy steering wheel. Therefore, the “Torgmashevtsy” thought for a long time and looked closely at the electric amplifier of the Aircraft Unit.

In order to try it out, we decided to install it on one of the cars. They decided that they were right and even installed amplifiers on several cars. As a result, the car did not lose any of its control reliability in various highway modes and even began to require much less physical effort from the driver at low speed when performing maneuvers.

There was no damage to the information content either: when you change the force on the steering wheel, you can understand how the wheels cling to the asphalt again. Therefore, experts decided that the VAZ 2112 is an excellent way to increase its attractiveness on the car market.
