Inspection
Steering Wheel Play Inspection
1. | Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels can face straight ahead.
2. | Measure the distance the steering wheel can be turned without moving the front wheels.
Standard value: 30mm (1.18in.) or less
3. | If the play exceeds standard value, inspect the steering column, shaft, and linkages.
Checking stationary steering effort
1. | Position the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.
2. | Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to warm up the power steering fluid.
3. | Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the engine speed 900 ~ 1100rpm, pull the scale and read it as soon as the tires begin to turn.
Standard value: 3.0kgf or less
4. | If the measured value exceeds standard value, inspect the power steering gear box and EPS system.
