Adjusting steering box
Two mechanics are required to perform adjustment. Perform adjustment with engine switched off.
–  Raise vehicle on lifting platform.
–  Wheels in straight-ahead position.
–  If there is excessive play in the steering, a knocking noise will be audible when the steering wheel is rocked back and forth (about 30° either side of centre position).
   
–  In this case, have the second mechanic carefully screw in the adjusting screw -1- 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 cornering, without catching.
