1.With the engine running, position the front wheel in the straight ahead direction.
|
|
2.Measure the circumferential steering wheel play until the front wheels actually start
operating while turning the steering wheel slightly in the left and right directions. Limit value: 30 mm or less
|
|
3.If the steering wheel play exceeds the limit value, check the steering shaft joint
or steering linkage for looseness, and replace or repair the faulty components if necessary.
|
|
4.If the steering wheel play still exceeds the limit value after Step 3 is performed,
turn the engine off, position the steering wheel in the straight ahead position, and then apply
the force (approximately 5 N) in the circumferential direction. At this time, check
if the circumferential steering wheel play is within the standard value. Standard value: 16.5 mm or less
|
|
5.If the steering wheel play is outside the standard value after Step 4 is performed,
remove the steering gear and linkage, and check and adjust the pinion total rotation torque(Refer
to ).
