STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK

M13702000010USA0000010000

With the engine running (hydraulic pressure applied), position
the front wheel in the straight ahead direction.

ZC5017910000

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

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.

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 (0.6 inch) or less

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.37-31.)

STEERING ANGLE CHECK

M13702000011USA0000010000

After adjusting the steering angle, always perform
calibration to make ABS/ASC-ECU learn the neutral
position of the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to GROUP 35C,
On-vehicle Service - Steering Wheel Sensor Calibration P.
35C-192.)

POWER STEERING

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

ZC5017920000

Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure
the steering angle.

Standard value:

ITEMS

SPECIFICATIONS

Inside wheel

39°

Outside wheel (reference)

32°

ZC5017930000

JAM NUT

CLIP

When the calibrated value is outside the standard value,
improper toe-in adjustment may be present. Check and adjust
the toe-in correctly if necessary.

Standard value: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.09 inch)

To adjust the toe-in, remove the bellows clip of the tie-rod,
loosen the locking nut, and then rotate the left tie-rod and right
tie-rod in the reverse direction by an equal amount.

Recheck the steering angle.

BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK

M13702000086USA0000010000

Using your fingers, press the dust cover to check for cracks or
damage.

If there are any cracks in the dust cover or it is damaged,
replace the tie-rod end.

NOTE:

If the dust cover has a crack or damage, the ball

joint could be damaged.

Turn the bolt and knob as necessary to make the jaws of the
special tool MB991897 or MB992011 parallel, tighten the bolt
by hand and confirm that the jaws are still parallel.

NOTE:

When adjusting the jaws in parallel, make sure the

knob is in the position shown in the figure.

Tighten the bolt with a wrench to disconnect the tie rod end.

ZC5017960000

MB990326

Move the ball joint stud several times and install the nut on the
stud. Using the special tool MB990326, measure the ball joint
breakaway torque.

Standard value: 2.9 N·m (26 in-lb) or less

If the breakaway torque exceeds the standard value, replace
the tie rod end.(Refer to P.37-32.)

If the breakaway torque is under the standard value, check the
ball joint for end play or ratcheting. If no end play or ratcheting,
the ball joint can be re-used.

Always use a new ball joint nut as it is a self-locking nut.

Install the tie rod end to the knuckle, then tighten a new self-
locking nut to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 25 ± 5 N·m (19 ± 3 ft-lb)

STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK

M13702000017USA0000010000

Park the vehicle on a level paved road, position the steering
wheel in the straight ahead direction.

Start the engine, and maintain the engine speed at 650 ± 100
r/min.

ZC5017910000

Position the spring scale on the circumference of the steering
wheel, and measure the steering force at the time when the
steering wheel is turned to right or left side (within the range
of one and a half turns) from the center position.
At the same time, verify that the steering force does not vary
excessively in both directions.

Standard value:

Steering force

29 (6.5 lb) N or less

Fluctuation band

5.9 (1.33 lb) N or less

If not within the standard value, check and adjust the
suspected components.

STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER CHECK

M13702000018USA0000010000

Conduct a road test:

Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the steering
wheel return.
