Check The Tie Rod For Swing Resistance
(1) Give 10 hard swings to the tie rod.
(2) Measure the tie rod swing resistance with a spring balance.
Standard value:
8-20 N (1.8-4.4 lbs. of force).
2-5 Nm (17-43 in/lbs.).
(3) If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace tie rod assembly.
Note: Even if the measured value is below the standard value, the tie rod which swings smoothly without excessive play may be used.
