ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK

M1372001000344

1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set the front 

wheels straight ahead.

2. Slightly move the steering wheel in both directions and 

measure the play on the steering wheel circumference 
before the wheels start to move.

Limit: 30 mm (1.2 inch)

3. If the play exceeds the limit, check on the steering shaft and 

steering linkage connection. Correct or replace.

4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set the steering 

wheel straight ahead with the engine stopped. Apply 5 N 
(1.1 pound) towards the steering wheel circumference and 
check the play.

Standard value (steering wheel play with the engine 
stopped): 10 mm (0.4 inch) or less

5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove the steering 

gear (refer to 

P.37-33

) and check the total pinion torque 

(refer to 

P.37-41

).
