Steering Gear: Testing and Inspection
Pinion Total Rotation Torque Check
PINION TOTAL ROTATION TORQUE CHECK
CAUTION
Secure the steering gear & linkage to the special mounting point. Fixing the steering gear & linkage to another point could deform or damage
the gear housing.
1. Use the preload socket (Special tool: MB991006) to rotate the pinion at a rate of one turn per 4 to 6 seconds, and then measure the pinion total
rotation torque.
Standard value:
Total rotation torque: 0.6 - 1.6 Nm (5.3 - 14.2 in-lb)
Torque fluctuation: 0.4 Nm (3.5 in-lb) or less
NOTE:
^
During measurement, remove the bellows from the gear housing.
^
Rotate the pinion by 180° in left and right directions from the neutral position, and measure the pinion total rotation torque.
2. If the measurement value is outside the standard value, replace the gear housing.
