| Checking steering system for leaks |
Note | After assembly work and if the hydraulic oil is short in the compensation tank, check the steering system for leakages. |
| –
| Turn the steering wheel to both sides until stop and hold it a little at both the stops. This builds up the highest possible pressure. |
| In order not to damage the pump, the steering wheel should not be held at the steering lock for longer than 10 seconds. |
| Check the following components for leaks with the steering in this position: |
| t
| Oil seal of the steering ratchet in the valve housing of the steering drive. |
| t
| Oil seals of the gear rack |
| The boots must be turned back for this test. |
| –
| Remove the spring clips and hose clips with lug fasteners from the boot. |
| If there was oil on the steering box or on the dust guards, the power steering box must be changed. |
