STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK

M1372001000979

1. With the engine running (hydraulic pressure applied), 

position the front wheel in the straight ahead direction.

2. Measure the side to side steering wheel play until the front 

wheels actually start moving while turning the steering wheel 
slightly in the left and right directions.

Limit: 30 mm (1.2 inch) or less

3. If the steering wheel play exceeds the limit value, check the 

steering shaft joint or steering linkage for looseness, and 
replace or repair the faulty components if necessary.

4. If the steering wheel play still exceeds the limit value after 

Step 3 is performed, position the steering wheel in the 
straight ahead position, and then apply the force 
(approximately 5 N) in the circumferential direction.

 

At this time, check if the steering wheel play is within the 
standard value.

Standard value : 16.5 mm (0.65 inch) or less

5. If the steering wheel play is outside the standard value after 

Step 4 is performed, remove the steering gear and linkage, 
and check and adjust the pinion total rotation torque.(Refer 
to 

P.37-44

.)

STEERING ANGLE CHECK

M1372001101582

CAUTION

After adjusting the steering angle, always perform calibra-
tion to make ABS/ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of 
the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to GROUP 35C 

 On-vehi-

cle Service 

 Steering Wheel Sensor Calibration 

P.35C-283

). <Vehicles with ASC>

1. Check that the wheel alignment is normal. (Refer to GROUP 

33 

− On-vehicle Service, Wheel Alignment Check and 

Adjustment 

P.33-8

.)

2. Place the front wheel onto the turning radius gauge, and 

measure the steering angle.

Standard value:

3. If not within the standard value, adjust the tie-rods (right and 

left), and repeat Steps 1 and 2.

4. If the measured value exceeds the standard range by 

performing Step 3, replace the steering gear and linkage 
assembly. (Refer to 

P.37-40

.)

TIE-ROD LOOSENESS CHECK

M1372018200298

When an abnormal noise is generated by the steer-
ing system, check the tie-rod for looseness. For the 
tie-rod looseness check, using a push-pull gauge 
and a spring scale, carry out the items below.

• Install a dial gauge.

• Check the points to load for a push-pull gauge 

and a spring scale.

• Operate to stabilize the load and fluctuation with 

a push-pull gauge and a spring scale.

• Carry out the dial gauge measurement and calcu-

lation with a push-pull gauge and a spring scale.

When the push-pull gauge is used

1. Before the looseness check, check the items below.

(1) Check that the Mitsubishi genuine wheel with specified 

size is mounted. Also check that the wheel bearing is not 
loose. (Refer to GROUP 26 

− On-vehicle Service − 

Wheel Bearing Check for Looseness in the Axial 
Direction 

P.26-11

.)

(2) Raise the vehicle at the jack up point on the side sill of 

the inspection side, and lift the tyre for approximately 30 
mm (1.2 in). At this time, check that the tyre of the 
opposite side is grounded.

2. Install a dial-gauge respectively to the "Position a (front side 

position)" and "Position b (rear side position)" on the wheel 
rim, 25 mm (1.0 in) below from the wheel centre. (Install the 
dial gauges to the smooth position that is around the edge of 
the tyre.)

3. The push-pull gauge shall be set to the smooth position that 

is 25 mm (1.0 in) above from the wheel centre and the edge 
of the tyre on the wheel rim. Then the position on the vehicle 
front side shall be the "Position A" and the vehicle rear side 
shall be the "Position B".

4. To stabilize the relationship between the load and 

fluctuation, push with the specified load by wheel size in the 
order of "Position A, "Position B", and "Position A" using the 
push-pull gauge. Note that the pushed load on each position 
shall be extracted.

5. Using the push-pull gauge, carry out the procedure below to 

read the value on the dial gauge and calculate the 
looseness.
NOTE: The +/

 sign acquired with the calculation result shall 

be used as it is.
