Chery FX Steering Box Thermal Cover – Part No.: T15-3412010
Let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “fabric cover” in your Chery FX’s engine bay. It’s the key protector for the steering box against high temperatures: a durable, heat-resistant unit made of flame-retardant glass fiber or composite insulation material (blocks engine heat effectively), with reinforced edges and built-in mounting clips. Mounted snugly around the Chery FX’s steering box—located in the front engine bay, close to the engine and exhaust manifold—it acts as a “heat shield.” Without it, the steering box would be exposed to intense engine heat, leading to premature wear of internal seals, degraded hydraulic oil (if applicable), and even reduced steering responsiveness.
This steering box thermal cover is exclusive to Chery FX—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! It’s tailored to the FX’s specs: its shape perfectly wraps the steering box (no gaps for heat to seep in), its mounting clips align with the FX’s chassis points (no loose movement), and its thickness balances heat insulation and engine bay space (won’t interfere with other parts). Grab a generic cover or one for other models? You’ll run into trouble: wrong shape (can’t wrap the steering box), poor heat resistance (melts or deforms), or ill-fitting clips (falls off while driving).
Core Jobs: Block Heat, Protect Steering Box & Ensure Precision
As a critical protective part for the FX’s steering system, it does three key jobs to keep steering reliable:
Insulate against engine/exhaust heat: The engine and exhaust manifold generate high temperatures during operation. This cover blocks that heat from reaching the steering box, keeping its internal components (seals, gears, oil) within a safe temperature range.
Prevent component degradation: High heat ruins rubber seals (causes leaks) and breaks down hydraulic or lubricating oil (reduces steering smoothness). The cover slows this wear, extending the steering box’s service life.
Maintain steering precision: Extreme heat can warp small steering box parts, leading to loose or off-center steering. The cover’s heat insulation keeps the box’s structure stable, ensuring consistent, accurate steering.
This T15-3412010 steering box thermal cover only fits Chery FX—wrong fit means ineffective protection:
Fits These: All Chery FX variants (matches the steering box shape, engine bay layout, and mounting points—confirm with VIN).
Won’t Fit These:
Non-Chery vehicles: Even if similar in size, their steering box contours and engine bay layouts differ (no functional fit).
FX with modified engine bays: Aftermarket exhaust systems, engine swaps, or custom brackets change heat sources or mounting points—original cover can’t insulate effectively.
Installation & Upkeep (Simple, But Proper Fit Matters!)
Installation: DIY-Friendly or Tech-Assisted
Installing this cover is straightforward, but proper alignment ensures full protection:
Prep: Open the FX’s engine bay, locate the steering box (near the front wheels, close to the engine), and clean any dust or debris around it.
Mount the cover: Wrap T15-3412010 around the steering box, align the clips with the chassis/mounting points, and snap them into place (ensure no gaps between the cover and the box).
Check fit: Pull gently on the cover to confirm it’s secure—no loose edges. Make sure it doesn’t touch hot parts (like the exhaust manifold) or block hoses/wiring.
Maintenance: Easy Checks to Keep It Working
Inspect every 20,000 km: Look for tears, fraying, or melted spots on the cover—damaged insulation loses effectiveness (replace if worn).
Clean periodically: Wipe the cover with a dry cloth to remove dust and oil (avoid water, which can damage the insulation core).
Check clips monthly: Ensure clips are tight—loose clips let the cover shift, leaving parts of the steering box exposed to heat.
Replace after engine bay work: If you have the FX’s engine or exhaust serviced, check the cover for damage and reattach it properly (techs may move it during repairs).
