Adjusting steering box
Adjusting steering box
  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.
   
–  The second mechanic must carefully screw the adjustment screw into the cover until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.
–  Carry out a road test. During this, ensure that the steering independently resets itself to the straight-ahead position after manoeuvring or cornering, without catching.
