GAZ-3307 is a 4th generation domestic truck, production of which began at the Gorky Automobile Plant. The launch of production of an onboard car with a carburetor engine began in 1989. The production of the truck was almost completed in 1994.
The truck updated the line of cars after the old GAZ-53, which structurally and morally required updating. It was necessary to update the technical parameters and update the appearance of the car.
History of creation
The debut model of the new car left the factory already in 1989, and by the end of the same year they were able to establish serial production of this dump truck. A little later, this vehicle was replaced by another GAZ-3309 truck, on which a diesel power unit was installed.
However, when 2008 arrived, the 3307 was able to receive a brand new carburetor engine with increased power and began production again until 2012. In general, the truck started quite successfully, but almost immediately lost popularity. Following the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the car noticeably dropped in demand, and its large-scale production at the plant was discontinued.
The Gorky Automobile Plant produces specialized modifications for government agencies. Before the 3307 model, there was a GAZ-53 truck on the market. By the end of the 1980s, such a car was very outdated and needed improvement.
This prompted the designers to start designing a completely new car. The machine was adapted to operate on hard road surfaces. “Lawn” belonged to the 4th generation of GAZ cars. It also includes trucks GAZ-3309, GAZ-3306 and GAZ-4301.
One of the goals that the design staff adhered to during the design of the machine was full-scale synchronization of the main elements and components with previous models. As a result, the car received many parts from the 53rd Lawn.
Thanks to this solution, it was possible to facilitate machine maintenance and reduce production costs. Therefore, Lawn 3307 was able to surpass the 53rd model in numerous characteristics. It was decided to retain the hood layout of the truck.
The models were distinguished by the presence of an improved cabin and a new tail. The salon began to have an abundance of free space, and it was possible to add ventilation and heating. Small changes could also affect the power plant. At the plant in Gorky, the 3307 was planned as a transitional option, which could later be replaced by diesel variations with increased economic characteristics.
A little later, the plant began producing power units that ran on diesel fuel. The production of carburetor versions of the Lawn 3307 was completely stopped with the beginning of the new decade of the 1990s.
Variations with diesel engines also began to lose popularity every year, since their production was no longer profitable. Today, the Gorky Automobile Enterprise can only offer truck configurations with gasoline power units (production is carried out only on order).
Despite the fact that the basis for the "Lawn" 3307 is a special production vehicle, the structural technical characteristics provide the opportunity to transport bulky and heavy loads.
Despite the rather large overall components of the truck, the model turned out to be a fairly maneuverable vehicle, and therefore can be used in city traffic quite freely.
Moreover, GAZ can move even off-road. You can use a car in different climate conditions, which is a very important help for the Russian Federation. Thanks to its endurance, the car was able to become a popular model.
The main purpose of the "Lawn" is the transportation of various goods. Thanks to a large number of add-ons, it is possible to select the equipment required for specific tasks. On the platform, cars are released by car towers along with milk tankers, car cranes and garbage trucks. But this allows you to greatly expand the range of applications of the truck.
The vehicle is designed for transportation and quick unloading of various bulk materials. It is extremely convenient to use it for agricultural needs, because it is well able to overcome unpaved road surfaces. As long as collective farms existed, such dump trucks served as a clear sign of any machine yard.
Brake system GAZ-3309
When performing various repair work, a car enthusiast can be helped by a diagram of the GAZ 3309 diesel brake system, since it has a complex device that can cause difficulties when troubleshooting problems on their own. The brakes of this vehicle allow you to stop the truck quickly and effectively, which improves driving safety.
Diagram of the brake system GAZ-3309 diesel
During the design of such a vehicle, the plant's engineers decided to develop its design almost from scratch, which made it unlike other cars of the automaker. The brake system of the GAZ 3309 deserves special mention, which is radically different from its predecessors.
When studying its structure, it is advisable to identify several categories of basic elements that ensure correct operation. These include:
- worker node;
- parking brake equipment;
- spare system.
A properly functioning braking system ensures driving safety
All of them are designed to quickly brake the truck or slow down its movement. The pneumatic-hydraulic brakes of this vehicle are reliable, which is especially important for freight vehicles, the braking distance of which is critical when dangerous situations arise on the road.
By working unit we mean the main system, which is constantly used while driving, and the spare one is a reserve in case of failure of the first one.
Brake device
Considering the design of this GAZ 3309 system, it should be noted that the standby and backup systems are combined into one set, which should be taken into account when performing repair work. In previous models, the pedal had to be pressed with considerable force to brake, but in the new design, the automaker's engineers managed to completely eliminate this drawback.
The brake design includes the following elements:
- standing brake - clamp, lever-handle, disc, handbrake cable, release element, drum, shoes, related mechanisms;
- drive part - pads, protective caps, pistons, guide brackets, shield, hydraulic cylinder reservoirs, as well as other components;
- brake cylinder - lever body, rod, guide parts, brake light switches.

Technical characteristics of GAZ-2747
An important design element is the amplifier, which is designed to increase pressure in key components. Due to this, it becomes possible to significantly increase braking efficiency without the need to exert maximum effort on the controls.
Vacuum pump features
An important design element is a vacuum amplifier, which is capable of creating the necessary pressure in the system. Due to this, it is possible to significantly increase braking efficiency, as well as reduce the required force when pressing the pedal. It should be remembered that incorrect operation of this important unit is a dangerous breakdown, leading to unstable operation of the power unit.
This is due to the entry of air into the intake pipe of the engine, which contributes to the leanness of the fuel mixture in its cylinders. As a result, the car cannot operate for a long time and periodically stalls. The design of the system involves the removal of lubricant and mechanical damage to the cylinders in the event of such a malfunction, which is why it is necessary to eliminate it as soon as possible.

Adjusting the parking brake
One of the most important jobs when servicing this vehicle is adjusting the parking brake. It is performed in several stages, and the car enthusiast will only need to have the necessary skills, a 24 mm wrench, and a screwdriver.
The hand brake is adjusted using the following algorithm:
- Lower the lever to the lower position and shift the gearbox to neutral;
- Raise the rear wheel on the left side using a jack, then remove the shield plug.
- Rotate it, turning out the adjusting screw with a screwdriver until it slows down, then unscrew the screw until the wheel rotates freely.
- Install the plug, lower the wheel, and then adjust the mechanism on the right side in the same way.
Doing this will help keep your parking brake system in optimal condition, ensuring it operates effectively.

Brake bleeding technique
Many owners of this car are interested in how to properly bleed the brake system for more efficient operation. This is a pressing problem for many models of domestic trucks, the solution of which requires an integrated approach. You can perform such tuning by following the following instructions:
- Clean the valve mechanisms of the cylinders of each wheel.
- Unscrew the cylinder cover.
- Fill it with the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
- Bleed the front wheels.
- Remove the brake valve cap, install the hose, and place its other end in a container with brake fluid.
- Unscrew the valve half a turn, then depress the brake pedal several times.
- Screw the valve back and bleed the remaining wheels using a similar method.
When filling brake fluid, it is advisable to remember that its optimal level is 2-3 cm below the maximum recommended level.

The GAZ-3307, unlike its predecessor, received a sprung driver's seat with the ability to adjust the back angle and in the horizontal plane. The instrument panel turned out to be very informative and was made of plastic. The holes for the instruments were completely molded. The front panel was made of metal.
The appearance began to differ for the better when comparing the model with its predecessor, the GAZ-53. The exterior began to have a more straightforward appearance. The same bumper protruded ahead and contained side lights. The main headlights are located on the side wings. In addition to them, on the side, there are turn signal indicators.
The mesh of the radiator grille began to be painted black, on which the inscription “GAS” was visible. Rear-view mirrors were installed on the doors, and there were two of them on each side. Overall, the appearance has become more modern and pleasant.
The body has a metal structure and can be tilted using a hydraulic method, and an electro-pneumatic device allows you to control this process. The body platform has three folding sides that need to be closed manually.
The platform can be controlled from the cabin using levers. Depending on the design used, such trucks can be unloaded using two methods. The first is tilting the platform back when it tilts 50 degrees.
There is a 2nd method, where unloading is allowed on three sides (back, left and right). It is clear that the last option is the best, most convenient and versatile. Laterally the platform tilts 45 degrees.
The truck cabin was designed in accordance with the trends of the Soviet period and had angular shapes. At the same time, compared to older versions, there is significantly more space in the cabin. The false door panels received additional side pockets, which could be used as a place to store various small items. Good thermal insulation made it comfortable to stay in the cabin while driving. The cabin of the model was borrowed from the experimental development of the GAZ-4301, presented in 1984. It was distinguished by its increased size and was designed for two people. Getting to the main controls was not difficult, since they were rationally located. Other features include seat belts, a modern dashboard, and soft upholstery on interior panels and doors.
GAZ-4301
Additionally, the car was equipped with an autonomous pre-heater, allowing you to start the engine without problems in the cold season. Another feature of the model was the air intake pipe running along the hood.
Gasoline modifications of the GAZ-3307 were equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, and diesel versions were equipped with a 5-speed gearbox. At the same time, it was possible to distinguish a 4-speed gearbox by the characteristic howl emitted when moving.
For the first time, power steering appeared in the steering mechanism. The design itself underwent minor modifications and was a globoidal worm, complemented by a three-ridge roller. Later, a new mechanism with a screw and a ball nut appeared, which made it possible to reduce the force on the steering wheel.
The car was equipped with standard drum brakes with a hydraulic vacuum booster and a hydraulic drive. The parking brake was located on the transmission and was mechanical.
The suspension in the GAZ-3307 has not been changed. The truck had the ability to install an awning and a side. The durable and reliable chassis made it possible to carry heavy loads, therefore it was used for installing various bodies (tow trucks, dump trucks, vans, etc.). Manufactured goods, insulated, grain vans and paddy wagons were created on the basis of the GAZ-3307.
Design, maintenance and malfunctions of the GAZ-66 power steering
The power steering pump (Fig. 1) is of a double-acting vane type, i.e., for one revolution of the pump rotor, two complete suction and two discharge cycles are performed
The pump rotor contains vases in which the blades are placed. The blades should move freely in the vases without jamming.
In the suction cavities, oil enters the space between the blades and is then forced out into the discharge cavities. Oil is forced out by reducing the volume between the blades as the rotor rotates inside the stator, which has a special profile.
An oil reservoir is installed on the pump. There is a filler filter under the reservoir cap, and a strainer is installed on the drain hose through which the oil returns from the system to the pump.
The pump cover contains two valves. The safety valve (internal) limits the maximum pressure in the system to 65-70 kg/cm2.
The bypass valve limits the amount of oil that the pump supplies to the power steering system at increased engine speeds. The valve is designed in such a way that no more than 10 l/min of oil is sent to the hydraulic booster system.
Excess oil is bypassed inside the pump and goes back into the suction cavity.
The control valve is located at the front end of the tie rod.
Inside the valve body there is a spool, which is connected through intermediate parts to the steering arm pin.
The spool is sealed at both ends with rubber cuffs.
When the spool is in the middle position (the car is moving straight), the oil flowing through the discharge hose into the control valve is bypassed through the gaps between the ends of the spool journals and the channels in the body into the drain hose and returns to the pump reservoir.
When the steering wheel is turned, the bipod pin moves the spool, which, blocking the channels in the valve body, directs oil under pressure into one or another cavity of the power cylinder (depending on which direction the turn is made).
The power cylinder rod, connected to the tie rod, moves it, turning the front wheels.
After the end of the rotation, the spool is set to the middle position, the oil pressure in the power cylinder decreases, and the oil from the valve returns back to the pump without entering the power cylinder.
The double-acting power cylinder is mounted in a bracket on the front axle housing through a ball joint.
The rod piston is sealed with two elastic cast iron rings.
The cylinder rod is chrome plated to improve wear resistance and protect against corrosion.
The exit of the rod from the cylinder is sealed with a rubber cuff. To protect against dirt, brass washers and a felt seal are installed on the outside. The power cylinder, in addition to turning the front wheels, also absorbs impacts from the wheels when driving over various irregularities.
This significantly relieves the steering mechanism and other steering parts from shock loads.
Power steering maintenance
The power steering pump drive belts are tensioned by tilting the pump housing. The angle of inclination of the pump housing should not be too large and should ensure that oil can be filled into the pump reservoir.
If tilting the pump housing does not ensure tension of the belts, move the pump to the holes in the bracket, and if the belts are stretched too far, move the pump brackets to additional holes in them.
With normal belt tension, the deflection of each belt between the compressor and power steering pump pulleys should be 15-20 mm when the belt is pressed with a force of 4 kg.
When checking the oil level in the power steering reservoir, the front wheels of the vehicle must be installed straight.
Add oil while the engine is idling to the “oil level” mark on the wall of the pump reservoir or, if there is no mark, to the filler filter mesh.
Before removing the tank cap to check the level, top up or change the oil, it must be thoroughly cleaned of dirt and washed with gasoline.
Fill the oil through a funnel with a double mesh and a filler filter installed in the pump reservoir.
If the filters are significantly clogged with tar deposits, additionally rinse the filters with solvent No. 646, used when painting a car.
During operation, regularly monitor the tightening of the bolts securing the pump and its brackets and the bolts securing the control valve to the longitudinal link.
Regularly check the tightness of the ball pin nut securing the power cylinder to the bracket. Loosening the tightening of this nut leads to the loosening of the ball pin in the conical hole of the bracket.
Periodically check the tightness of the power cylinder rod nut and the condition of the rubber pads through which the rod is attached to the rod bracket. When the rubber cushions wear out, they must be replaced.
Oil change
To change the oil, lift the front wheels of the car and open the lid of the power steering pump reservoir.
To drain the oil you must:
— disconnect the discharge and drain hoses from the control valve body and drain the oil from the pump through them;
— disconnect the hoses from the power cylinder fittings; and drain the oil from both the control valve;
drain the oil from the power cylinder by slowly turning the steering wheel left and right until it stops.

Engine
The Gorky Automobile Plant provided as many as 3 engines. Among them was the presence of an 8-cylinder V-shaped 4-stroke 4.67 liter gasoline engine ZMZ-5231.10.
It had a carburetor power system and liquid cooling and produced 124 horsepower. The compression ratio was 7.6, and it weighed about 275 kilograms. A similar power unit also received an OHV valve mechanism with an exhaust gas recirculation system, along with aluminum blocks.
Characteristics of ZMZ-5231.10.
- working volume – 4.67 l;
- rated power - 91.2 (124) kW (hp);
- rotation speed – 3200-3400 rpm;
- maximum torque – 298 Nm;
- compression ratio - 7.6 l;
- weight – 275 kg.
It can be classified as European standards Euro-3. The engine runs on AI-80 or A-76 gasoline. If you apply additional adjustment, you can use AI-92 gasoline. It was also planned to install a 4-cylinder, four-stroke, 4.75-liter, 125-horsepower diesel engine “MMZ D-245”, which had turbocharging, liquid cooling, direct fuel injection and a charge air cooler.
The GAZ-3307 was also equipped with a 125-horsepower ZMZ-511 engine, which turned out to be very gluttonous. This is what forced the Gorky Automobile Plant to begin developing modifications with a diesel engine.
Modifications of the GAZ-33078 were equipped with a Japanese 136-horsepower diesel engine Hino W04CT. However, the model, released in 1992, was not widely used.
In 1994, the Gorky Automobile Plant launched the production of diesel units on its own premises. The 5-liter 4-cylinder power plants had a rated power of 122 hp. and were equipped with turbocharging and an air cooling system.
Fuel consumption
At a speed of 60 km/h, the model’s fuel consumption is 19.6 l/100 km. When the speed increases to 80 km/h, the consumption indicator increases to 26.4 km/h. The car's fuel tank capacity is 105 liters.

It has a worm mechanism, similar to a globoidal worm with a three-ridge roller.
Electrical equipment can support its own operation at 12 volts. The model did not receive a hydraulic power steering wheel.
Brake system
It is considered to be one of the most reliable. It includes brakes and hydraulic drive. In addition, the system has a pair of brake circuits, one of which is responsible for the spare brake. Each circuit has a hydraulic vacuum booster, together with a vacuum cylinder with a shut-off valve.
Thanks to vacuum cylinders, it is possible to achieve independent power supply to the circuits. The vacuum number is monitored using special vacuum measuring instruments, which are equipped with red indicators.
If the vacuum volume reaches the minimum reading, the lamp will begin to glow. There is also a parking brake, and it is represented by a mechanical method of action, and it is installed on the transmission. Drum mechanisms are used to perform braking.

Steering GAZ-3307
The GAZ-3307 is equipped with a steering system with a globoid worm-type steering mechanism and a three-ridge roller with a three-joint steering column with a splineless connection. The engagement of the working pair of the GAZ-3307 steering mechanism (globoid worm and three-ridge roller) is designed in such a way that, with proper adjustment, the angle of free rotation of the steering wheel with the bipod disconnected in the straight-line driving position should be absent. When the steering wheel is turned in any direction by more than half a turn, the angle of free rotation appears, continuously increases and reaches 30° in extreme positions. When the car is moving, the steering must ensure the given direction and the absence of wobbling of the front wheels. The GAZ-3307 steering column is attached with four bolts to the clutch and brake pedal bracket. The steering shaft rotates on two ball bearings. The preload of the GAZ-3307 steering shaft bearings is adjusted using a special nut screwed onto the shaft. To compensate for changes in the length of the intermediate cardan shaft when the cabin oscillates, a splineless compensator has been introduced into its design.

Steering control of the GAZ-3307 car 1 - gasket; 2 — filler plug; 3 – shaft with worm, 4 – adjusting screw; 5 - nut; 6 - crankcase; 7 — lock washer; 8 - fork; 9 — lower cardan shaft; 10 — bearing with seal; 11 — middle cardan shaft; 12 — upper casing; 13 — overlay; 14 — steering wheel; 15 - column; 16 - lower casing; 17 — steering lock; 18 — adjusting nut; 19 — washer; 20 - wedge; 21 - self-locking nut; 22 - bipod shaft with a three-ridge roller. On the steering column of the GAZ-3307 with a two-spoke steering wheel, there is an ignition and starter switch, a switch for headlights and turn indicators, a switch for the wiper, windshield washer and sound signal, covered with decorative covers. The steering control device is shown in Fig. 1. The GAZ-3307 steering mechanism, consisting of a globoid worm with shaft 3 and bipod shaft 22 with a three-ridge roller, is mounted in a cast-iron crankcase and attached to the left frame spar with five bolts. The worm with shaft 3 is mounted on the crankcase on two tapered roller bearings. Adjusting shims 1 are installed between the bottom cover and the bearing race to adjust the preload of the worm bearings. Play in bearings is unacceptable. The bipod shaft 22 with a three-ridge roller rotates in two bearings: in a bronze bushing pressed into the steering gear housing, and in a cylindrical roller bearing installed in the side cover. The angles of rotation of the GAZ-3307 steering shaft from the average position in both directions of 45° constitute the zone of backlash-free engagement of the worm with the roller. The initial displacement of the geometric axis of the roller upward relative to the worm axis by 6 mm (for a new steering mechanism) allows the backlash-free engagement to be adjusted in operation as the worm pair wears out. The engagement of the worm with the roller is adjusted using an adjusting screw 4, which is fixed using a lock washer 7, a pin and a nut 5 screwed onto the screw. During operation, the technical condition of the GAZ-3307 steering system deteriorates due to wear of the working surfaces of parts and violation of adjustments. The technical condition of the steering is determined by the amount of total play of the steering wheel. Maintenance of the steering includes inspection, checking the condition of fasteners, checking the total play of the steering wheel, checking and adjusting the axial play in the worm bearings, checking and adjusting the gap in the engagement of the worm with the roller, and carrying out lubrication work according to the lubrication chart. It is necessary to check the oil level in the GAZ-3307 steering mechanism and, if necessary, top it up to normal. The tightness of connections is checked daily. The fastening elements of the steering wheel, steering column, steering mechanism, cardan steering gear, bipod and steering linkage arms of the GAZ-3307 must be tightened in a timely manner. The suitability of steering rod parts for further work is determined by the freedom of swing of the fingers in the assembled joint. If play is detected in the joint, it is necessary to remove the steering rod, disassemble the joint and determine the cause of the play. If parts are worn out or the finger with a cracker is buried in the liner by more than 0.5 mm, it is necessary to replace the worn parts. Before adjusting the steering rod joints of the GAZ-3307, you must make sure that there is axial play in the worm bearings. To do this, it is necessary to perform the following operations: - disconnect the hinge fork of the input shaft of the mechanism and the longitudinal steering rod from the bipod; - shake the bipod with your hand. If in this case the worm shaft has axial movement relative to the upper cover of the steering housing, the bearings require adjustment. Adjustment of the GAZ-3307 steering rod joint must be carried out in the following order: - Loosen the bolts securing the lower crankcase cover and drain the oil. — Remove the lower crankcase cover and remove the thin shim. — Reinstall the crankcase cover and check the worm bearings for longitudinal play. If the play is not eliminated, then you should remove the thick gasket and put the thin one back. — After eliminating the play, remove the bipod shaft, connect the propeller shaft fork with the worm shaft and check the force required to rotate it on the steering wheel rim. When the worm roller bearings are properly tightened, the force required to rotate the steering wheel applied to its rim should be 2.8-4.7 N (0.28-0.47 kgf). — Assemble the GAZ-3307 steering mechanism and fill in 0.6 liters of oil. The gearing adjustment should always be checked after adjusting the worm bearings in the following order: - Set the steering wheel to a straight line position. — Disconnect the longitudinal steering rod from the bipod. — While rocking the bipod in the plane of its rotation, use an indicator to determine the amount of movement of the bipod end. If the movement of the end of the GAZ-3307 steering bipod exceeds 0.3 mm, then it is necessary to adjust the gap in the engagement of the roller with the worm. To adjust, you must perform the following operations: — unscrew nut 5 and remove lock washer 7; — use a wrench to turn adjusting screw 4 clockwise until the gap is eliminated; — use a dynamometer to check the force on the steering wheel rim near the middle position; — by rotating the adjusting screw, bring the steering wheel turning force to 11.3-19.0 N (1.13-1.9 kgf); — put on the lock washer and tighten the nut. If one of the holes in the lock washer does not coincide with the pin, then the adjusting screw must be turned enough to achieve this coincidence.

Cabin
There is more free space inside. The dashboard received an abundance of all kinds of sensors. A two-spoke steering wheel with a thin rim was installed in front of them. Among the largest sensors on the dashboard are the round powertrain speed sensor on the left and the speedometer mounted in the center.
In addition to them, there are sensors for oil, engine temperature, fuel level, battery charge and pneumatic system. More modern vehicles have fairly good seats with moderate lateral support.
To the right of the driver you can see the gearshift lever, which has a curved appearance. The entire front panel is made of plastic, and the door cards are made of pleasant fabric material.
The driver's seat itself has a sprung type, but the previous model did not have this. Moreover, the chair can be adjusted according to the angle of the backrest and in the horizontal plane.
Despite the fact that the truck cabin was developed in accordance with the standards of the Soviet era, and it had angular shapes, when compared with its predecessors, there was more free space, which, in turn, had a positive effect on comfort.
On the false panels of the doors, auxiliary side pockets appeared, which made it possible to store various small things in them. We also worked on good thermal insulation, which increased the level of comfort, and it became much more pleasant to stay inside the truck. The cabin itself was borrowed from the experimental GAZ-4301 car, which was introduced in 1984.
It had increased dimensions and was designed for a couple of people, including the driver. The main controls were fairly easy to reach. It’s very nice that they began to install seat belts, a modern instrument panel along with soft upholstery on the interior panels and doors.
Steering components of the GAZ-3307 car
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The GAZ-3307 is equipped with a steering system with a globoid worm-type steering mechanism and a three-ridge roller with a three-joint steering column with a splineless connection. The engagement of the working pair of the steering mechanism (globoid worm and three-ridge roller) is designed in such a way that, with proper adjustment, the angle of free rotation of the steering wheel with the bipod disconnected in the straight-line driving position should be absent. When the steering wheel is turned in any direction by more than half a turn, the angle of free rotation appears, continuously increases and reaches 30° in extreme positions. When the car is moving, the steering must ensure the given direction and the absence of wobbling of the front wheels. The GAZ-3307 steering column is attached with four bolts to the clutch and brake pedal bracket. The steering shaft rotates on two ball bearings. The preload of the steering shaft bearings is adjusted using a special nut screwed onto the shaft. To compensate for changes in the length of the intermediate cardan shaft when the cabin oscillates, a splineless compensator has been introduced into its design. Rice. 1. Steering control of the GAZ-3307 car 1 - gasket; 2 — filler plug; 3 – shaft with worm, 4 – adjusting screw; 5 - nut; 6 - crankcase; 7 — lock washer; 8 - fork; 9 — lower cardan shaft; 10 — bearing with seal; 11 — middle cardan shaft; 12 — upper casing; 13 — overlay; 14 — steering wheel; 15 - column; 16 - lower casing; 17 — steering lock; 18 — adjusting nut; 19 — washer; 20 - wedge; 21 - self-locking nut; 22 - bipod shaft with a three-ridge roller. On the steering column with a two-spoke steering wheel, there is an ignition and starter switch, a switch for headlights and turn indicators, a switch for a wiper, a windshield washer and a sound signal, covered with decorative covers. The steering control device is shown in Fig. 1. The GAZ-3307 steering mechanism, consisting of a globoid worm with shaft 3 and bipod shaft 22 with a three-ridge roller, is mounted in a cast-iron crankcase and attached to the left frame spar with five bolts. The worm with shaft 3 is mounted on the crankcase on two tapered roller bearings. Adjusting shims 1 are installed between the bottom cover and the bearing race to adjust the preload of the worm bearings. Play in bearings is unacceptable. The bipod shaft 22 with a three-ridge roller rotates in two bearings: in a bronze bushing pressed into the steering gear housing, and in a cylindrical roller bearing installed in the side cover. The angles of rotation of the GAZ-3307 steering shaft from the average position in both directions of 45° constitute the zone of backlash-free engagement of the worm with the roller. The initial displacement of the geometric axis of the roller upward relative to the worm axis by 6 mm (for a new steering mechanism) allows the backlash-free engagement to be adjusted in operation as the worm pair wears out. The engagement of the worm with the roller is adjusted using an adjusting screw 4, which is fixed using a lock washer 7, a pin and a nut 5 screwed onto the screw. During operation, the technical condition of the GAZ-3307 steering system deteriorates due to wear of the working surfaces of parts and violation of adjustments. The technical condition of the steering is determined by the amount of total play of the steering wheel. Maintenance of the steering includes inspection, checking the condition of fasteners, checking the total play of the steering wheel, checking and adjusting the axial play in the worm bearings, checking and adjusting the gap in the engagement of the worm with the roller, and carrying out lubrication work according to the lubrication chart. It is necessary to check the oil level in the GAZ-3307 steering mechanism and, if necessary, top it up to normal. The tightness of connections is checked daily. The fastening elements of the steering wheel, steering column, steering mechanism, cardan steering gear, bipod and steering linkage levers must be tightened in a timely manner. The suitability of steering rod parts for further work is determined by the freedom of swing of the fingers in the assembled joint. If play is detected in the joint, it is necessary to remove the steering rod, disassemble the joint and determine the cause of the play. If parts are worn out or the finger with a cracker is buried in the liner by more than 0.5 mm, it is necessary to replace the worn parts. Before adjusting the steering rod joints of the GAZ-3307, you must make sure that there is axial play in the worm bearings. To do this, it is necessary to perform the following operations: - disconnect the hinge fork of the input shaft of the mechanism and the longitudinal steering rod from the bipod;
- shake the bipod with your hand. If in this case the worm shaft has axial movement relative to the upper cover of the steering housing, the bearings require adjustment. Adjustment of the GAZ-3307 steering rod joint must be carried out in the following order: - Loosen the bolts securing the lower crankcase cover and drain the oil.
— Remove the lower crankcase cover and remove the thin shim. — Reinstall the crankcase cover and check the worm bearings for longitudinal play. If the play is not eliminated, then you should remove the thick gasket and put the thin one back.
— After eliminating the play, remove the bipod shaft, connect the propeller shaft fork with the worm shaft and check the force required to rotate it on the steering wheel rim. When the worm roller bearings are properly tightened, the force required to rotate the steering wheel applied to its rim should be 2.8-4.7 N (0.28-0.47 kgf).
— Assemble the GAZ-3307 steering mechanism and fill in 0.6 liters of oil. The gearing adjustment should always be checked after adjusting the worm bearings in the following order: - Set the steering wheel to a straight line position. — Disconnect the longitudinal steering rod from the bipod. — While rocking the bipod in the plane of its rotation, use an indicator to determine the amount of movement of the bipod end. If the movement of the end of the GAZ-3307 steering bipod exceeds 0.3 mm, then it is necessary to adjust the gap in the engagement of the roller with the worm. To adjust, you must perform the following operations: — unscrew nut 5 and remove lock washer 7;
— use a wrench to turn adjusting screw 4 clockwise until the gap is eliminated; — use a dynamometer to check the force on the steering wheel rim near the middle position;
— by rotating the adjusting screw, bring the steering wheel turning force to 11.3-19.0 N (1.13-1.9 kgf); — put on the lock washer and tighten the nut. If one of the holes in the lock washer does not coincide with the pin, then the adjusting screw must be turned enough to achieve this coincidence. In this case, the steering wheel turning force should not exceed the above limits. Removing and disassembling the GAZ-3307 steering mechanism - Unscrew the steering wedge nut on the steering mechanism, knock out the wedge, remove the fork from the worm shaft.
