Front wheel toe-in

The power-assisted steering system is self-bleeding; it is bled by turning the steering wheel full lock to the right and left with the engine running and the car stopped. This procedure should be carried out whenever the connecting pipes are removed and refitted.

NOTE If the steering becomes hard, this may be due to slipping of the pump pulley belt, or to a low fluid level.
If there is a fault in the pump, actuating cylinder or distributor valve, the power steering will function as an ordinary mechanical steering gear.

FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN

On both versions with mechanical steering gear and versions with power-assisted steering, the front wheel toe-in is adjusted by slackening the nut locking the tie-rod and screwing or unscrewing the tie-rod until the specified toe-in value is obtained, without changing the positions of the steering wheel spokes.
