returnability between the left and right side.
It is necessary to carry out this step on safe ground
and under safe traffic condition and pay attention to
your safety.
①
Turn the steering wheel for 90°, drive with the
speed of 35Km/h, maintain the state for several
seconds and then release the steering wheel, the
returnability should be 70% at least.

Notice:
In the case of rapid turning of the steering wheel,
there may be a transient feel of “arduous”due to
insufficient oil supply during idling and it is not a
fault.
6.
Inspection of Front Wheel Steering Angle
①
After the inspection of front wheel toe-in, inspect
the steering angle of the front wheel. Place the
front wheel on the steering angle measuring device
(front wheel alignment steering wheel) and inspect
the maximum steering angles of inner and outer
wheels on the left and right.
Inner Wheel:
Outer Wheel:
②
In the case of engine idling, make full lock turns of
the steering wheel to the left and right to measure
the steering angle.
If the measured value is not in the standard range,
adjust the tie rod.
The adjustment of the steering angle is as follows:
When the steering angle exceeds the standard value,
loosen lock nuts of the left and right steering tie
rods, rotate the left and right steering tie rods
respectively with a wrench to adjust the steering
angles to the standard values and then tighten the
lock nuts with a tightening torque of 45 ~ 55N.m.
In the length adjustments of the left and right
steering tie rods (length shown in the following
figure), pay attention to adjust them to the same
value for the left and right steering tie rods
(208.7mm,in reversed directions)
Notice:
Notice:
Notice:
Notice:
When the steering angle of the inner wheel exceeds
the standard value, adjust the tie rod at this side to
rotate outward and the steering angle of the inner
wheel will increase; When the steering angle of the
outer wheel exceeds the standard value, adjust the
tie rod at this side to rotate outward and the
steering angle of the outer wheel will decrease.
Notice:
Notice:
Notice:
Notice:
The adjustment of the toe-in is interrelated with
those of the wheel alignment parameters and the
steering angle.
7.
Inspection of Ball Joint Dust Boot
①
Press the dust boot with hand to inspect it for crack
or damage.
②
In the case of cracked or damaged dust boot, it is
necessary to replace the tie rod ball joint.
Notice:
Notice:
Notice:
Notice:
In the case of cracked or damaged dust boot, the
ball joint may be damaged jointly.
8.
Inspection for Angular Moment of Steering Tie
Rod Ball Joint
①
Swing the tie rod rapidly for 10 times.
②
Measure the swing resistance of the tie rod with a
spring scale.
Standard value: 2~5 N.m
If the measured value is not in the range of
standard value, please replace it.
