V70 GL L5-2.4L VIN 55 B5254S (1998)
-
Start the engine
-
Turn the steering wheel to almost the right limit position
-
Connect torque wrench 999 8081 to the steering wheel screw
-
Turn the torque wrench slowly to the right. Read off the torque just as the manometer reaches 1.2 MPa (12 kp/cm).
Note! It is extremely important to read off the torque just as the manometer displays 1.2 MPa because the pressure remains even if the torque reduces.
Checking the balance when turning the steering wheel to the left
-
Turn the wheel nearly to the left limit position. Read oft the torque in the same way as for the right-hand side.
Interpreting the torque measurements
-
The torque must be between 3.2-4.2 Nm (32-42 kp/cm). The reading must not deviate by more than 0.7 Nm (7 kp/cm) between the right and left-
hand sides.
Note! If deviation is greater the steering gear must be replaced.
Checking pump pressure
Left limit position
-
Start the engine
-
Turn the steering wheel to the left and press it to the limit position for a maximum of 10 seconds while reading off the manometer
-
Correct pressure: 10.2 - 11 MPa.
Right limit position
-
Turn the steering wheel to the right limit position and read the manometer according to the previous operation.
