41 SteeringFront wheel toe-in

The power-assisted steering system is self-bleeding; bleeding is achieved by turning the steering wheel fully to the right and left with the engine running and car stopped. This procedure must be performed whenever the pipes are disconnected and reconnected.

NOTE If the steering becomes hard, the pump drivebelt may be slipping or the fluid level may be low. If the pump, actuating cylinder or distributor valve are not working, the power-assisted steering will function as an ordinary mechanical steering gear.

FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN

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