Power steering gear

All Mondeo models immediately after the factory conveyor are already riding, having a power steering mechanism on board. It maintains the steering work depending on the current load: the slower you go, the stronger the support of the amplifier; at high speeds, on the contrary, such assistance is proportional to the speed. In addition to minor maintenance work (such as checking the hydraulic system for leaks, adding hydraulic oil, etc.) power steering repairs are best left to your Ford dealer.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

The airbag is basically a case for «present» professional Once out of the factory gate, Mondeo protects your life with airbags. Therefore, it is better to transfer all work with the steering column and its elements to the Ford workshop. Only there «real» pros, using specific safety instructions for handling «compressed air bags», can carry out the unscrewing of the interior components related to this system. This is because, if not properly handled, the airbag can «explode» in a fraction of a second. So here is the best «put away» from such a complex «games» their «fingers», if the switch and controls on the steering rack of your Mondeo «sick». Even the transport and storage of the airbag must comply with strict safety regulations. Thus, we once again focus the attention of amateurs - and this is in their own interests: - airbag - in principle, a matter for real professionals.

In practice - progressive steering support

During parking and rebuilding, the hydraulic booster helps you «at full strength» – from 10 km/h, on the contrary, its effect continuously decreases. In practice, the following makes sense: because in the high speed range, the forces actually acting on the steering wheel are already reduced.
