Adjusting the steering box

Note

Two mechanics are needed for the adjustment. The adjustment is carried out with the engine stopped.

Procedure

–	Raise the vehicle with an elevator platform.

–	Front wheels facing straight.

–	If the steering wheel is moved from side to side (approx. 30° around the centre axle), if there is too much play, noise will be heard.

–	The second mechanic should partially turn the adjustment bolt, until the noise can no longer be heard from the interior of the vehicle.

–	During a test drive ensure that the steering wheel returns to its centre position without sticking following a manoeuvre or after turning.
