1.
caution |
- Be sure there is no ratcheting or
catching when operating
the rack towards the shaft.
- Measure the total pinion torque through
the whole stroke of the rack.
|
Using special tool preload socket (MB991006), rotate
the pinion shaft at the rate of one
rotation in four to six seconds to check the total pinion
torque and the change in torque. Standard
value: 0.6 - 2.0 N·m (Torque
fluctuation: 0.4 N·m or
less) 2.
caution |
When adjusting, set at the
highest value of the standard value
range.
|
note |
If the total pinion torque
cannot be adjusted to the standard value within
the specified
return angle, check the rack support cover
components and replace any parts if
necessary.
|
If the total pinion torque or the change in torque
is outside the standard value, move
the rack support cover 0 - 30°, and adjust the
pinion torque again.
