Steering Gear

Bus steering gear – Precision and reliable steering control

The steering gear is a component that converts the rotary movement of the steering wheel into the linear movement of the tie rods, allowing the wheels to turn. Buses are equipped almost exclusively with advanced hydraulic power steering gears, which allow the steering wheel to be operated with ease even when the load on the front axle exceeds 7 tonnes. At Peterbus.pl, we offer top-quality steering gears for buses from Solaris, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Scania, basing our range on products from the global leader – ZF (Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen).

Types of steering gears in our range:

We supply solutions matched to different chassis designs:

• Worm gears (block-type): Most commonly used in low-floor and touring buses, characterised by very high power assistance and durability.

• Steering gears with integrated power assistance (Servocom): Modern modules, such as ZF Servocom, which provide excellent road feel and stability at high speeds.

• Steering gears for trailing axles: Specialised mechanisms used in articulated buses (18 m) to control the third axle, improving the turning radius.

Why choose a steering gear from Peterbus.pl?

A steering gear fault – such as play, hydraulic oil leaks or heavy steering – is a signal requiring immediate service intervention. By choosing our components, you benefit from:

1. ZF and Bosch quality assurance: We offer original steering gears fitted as standard in most European buses, ensuring the highest level of steering system refinement.

2. Safety and confident handling: Our steering gears eliminate bus wandering within the lane and ensure precise return of the wheels to the straight-ahead position.

3. Selection by VIN: Due to the variety of gear ratios and shaft lengths, our experts will precisely select a steering gear for your model, such as Solaris Urbino 12/18, Mercedes Citaro or MAN Lion’s City.

4. New and professionally inspected parts: We stock factory-new units as well as used steering gears, which have been inspected for leaks and the absence of mechanical play.
