Check fluid level Clean area of leak Inspect area and confirm exact position Ensure fluid is not from another system Correct the fluid level as necessary Locate the suspect component or check hose connections and repair as necessary

After a Servocom replacement making complete steering turns from lock-to-lock will bleed the system. If possible lift the back 2 wheels off of the ground, this has been known to speed the process up.

In order to ensure proper geometry all four wheels should be on the ground when setting limiters.

The steering limitation should be set whenever a new gear is mounted. This should also be completed whenever any front axle modifications were made or the steering limiter screws are replaced.

Our steering was a joint venture between Bosch and ZF from 1999-2014. Some inventory remains with the old logo.

A Bevel or Bevel Box is an additional 45 to 90°Angle that can be added to a Heavy Commercial Gear.

An Intermediate shaft connects the steering gear to the steering column.

The I-shaft design is a ball slider. This allows the I-shaft to move to a set limit in and out to account for steering wheel adjustment as well as uneven roads.

No, the connector bolts that go through the U-Joints must always be replaced after they have been removed or loosened.

No, because our gears have the capabilities of communicating with other vehicle systems we will also read out DTC’s associated to those systems as well. You may get some DTC’s that have nothing to do with the Steering Gear itself.

The number one difference between an APA gear and a Dual Pinion gear is that an APA gear is a belt driven ball and nut design. A dual pinion gear is a rack and pinion design assisted by a second pinion.

No, Due to the software and gear specification each of our gears is designed specific to the OE vehicle application.

Yes, if you have a leak in a pump, reservoir, or hose and are not getting the correct fluid amount to a steering gear this can cause a heavy feeling when steering.

The inability to communicate with a Steering Gear can potentially be attributed to a few different things. “Power” Check the voltage going to the gear and make sure it is between 11-16 volts. Also ensure that the ground wire is properly connected and you have no blown fuses as well. “Wiring” Check to make sure that the communication wires are sending a signal to the Steering Gear. The gear must have power and communication to operate. “Flashing Issue” If there were issues during the flashing process of a replacement gear, this can result in the gear being stuck in a boot loader mode and the gear will not function.

Modification of the steering wheel angle by usage of an electronically controlled superposition gear (Planetary Gear) set to Increase Comfort, Vehicle dynamics, and safety.

CHECK fluid level CLEAN area of leak. INSPECT area and confirm exact position ENSURE fluid is not from another system CORRECT the fluid level as necessary LOCATE the suspect component or CHECK hose connections and repair as necessary

Aeration in the steering pump is air trapped into the system that can cause noise and potentially heavy steering.

This is based on the OE’s discretion.
