Manual Description
End play of the axle direction for steering wheel: 0 mm (0 in) Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose or not. Set the vehicle to the straight ahead-direction, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the opposite direction. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 540° from neutral position. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check rack sliding force and relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump.
Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has reached normal operating temperature. If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering gear assembly. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on E stands so that vehicle can be level.
