Power steering gear, adjusting
NOTE:
Two mechanics are required to perform adjustment. Adjust with engine switched off.
- Raise vehicle on hoist.
- Wheels in straight-ahead position.
- By turning the steering wheel to and fro (about 30 ° to center axis) a knocking noise will be heard if there is excessive play.
- The second mechanic should carefully turn the adjustment screw (arrow) until the rattling noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.
- Carry out a road test.
- Make sure that when maneuvering or negotiating corners the steering self-centers without sticking, re-adjust if necessary.
