Adjusting power steering box (ZF)
Adjusting power steering box (ZF)
  Note
Two mechanics are required to perform adjustment. Perform adjustment with engine switched off.
–  Raise vehicle on lifting platform.
–  Wheels in straight-ahead position.
–  By turning the steering wheel to and fro (about 30° from centre axis) a knocking noise will be heard if there is excessive play in the steering.
   
–  In this case, have the second mechanic carefully screw in the adjusting screw -arrow- into the cover until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.
–  Road test the vehicle and check that the steering centres smoothly by itself back to the straight-ahead position after a turn. Correct the adjustment if necessary.
