Steering Gear: Adjustments

Power steering gear, adjusting

Note:  Two mechanics are required for adjustment, which is to be performed with the engine switched off.

-

Raise vehicle on lifting platform.

-

Turn wheels to straight ahead position.

-

Turn steering wheel back and forth (roughly 30° about center axis). This will produce a rattling noise in the event of excessive steering play.

-

Have second mechanic carefully turn in adjusting screw (arrow) until rattling noise inside vehicle disappears.

-

Perform test drive.

-

After maneuvering/cornering, make sure steering returns automatically and smoothly to straight ahead position. Correct setting if necessary.
