Power Steering Pump: Adjustments
Pump Belt Adjustment
A properly adjusted belt should deflect about 11 - 13 mm (0.43 - 0.51 in.) when you push on it mid-way between the pulleys with a force of about 98
N (10kg, 22 lbs).
NOTE: On a brand new belt, the deflection should be 9 - 11 mm (0.35 - 0.43 in.) when first measured.
1. Loosen the pulley bolt and turn the adjusting bolt to get proper tension, then retighten the pulley bolt.
2. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times, then recheck the belt tension.
