Renault Logan cars are fitted with rack and pinion steering
The steering gear consists of two steering rods connected by ball joints to the steering knuckles
The steering column is safety. Most cars are equipped with power steering.
The pressure of the working fluid in the hydraulic booster. created by a vane-type pump, which is mounted on the engine and driven by a V-belt or V-ribbed belt (depending on the configuration).
If the power steering fails, the ability to drive the car remains, but the effort on the steering wheel increases.
The steering box is mounted on the subframe and secured to it with two bolts.
The steering column is equipped with an energy-absorbing device that increases the passive safety of the car, and an anti-theft device in the ignition lock that blocks the steering wheel shaft from turning.
The steering column also houses the controls for headlights, direction indicators, horn, washer and windshield wiper.
