NOTE:  Two mechanics are required when adjusting. Adjust with engine switched off

1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Wheels in straight-ahead position.
3. By turning the steering wheel to and fro (about 30° to center axis) a knocking noise will be heard if there is excessive play.

4. The second mechanic carefully screws the adjustment screw -arrow- into the cover until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the

vehicle.

5. Complete a road test ensuring that when maneuvering or negotiating corners the steering self-centers without sticking.
