Adjusting power steering box
Two mechanics are required to perform adjustment. Perform adjustment with engine switched off.
–  Raise vehicle on lifting platform.
–  Wheels in straight-ahead position.
–  If there is excessive play in the steering, a knocking noise will be audible when the steering wheel is turned backwards and forwards (about 30° either side of centre position.
–  In this case, have the second mechanic carefully screw in the adjusting screw -arrow- until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.
   
–  Road-test vehicle.
–  Check that the steering centres smoothly by itself back to the straight-ahead position after a turn. Correct the adjustment if necessary.
