Steering wheel free-play inspection

In the assembled mode, check the

free-play of the steering wheel while the car is
driving in straight line. The free play of the
steering wheel in the circumferential direction
should be no larger than 0~30mm. In the case
that the free play goes beyond the specified
value, the following items should be checked
to see: if the joint of the steering horizontal
lever is worn out (when a torque of over
0.2N.m is applied, the joint should be moved);
if the lower ball knuckle is worn out; if the
steering shaft universal coupling is worn out;
if the steering small gears or gear rack is worn
out or damaged and if the fixture or joining of
the parts is loose.
