Manual Description
If it is not in the neutral position, remove the steering wheel and reinstall it correctly. If movement exceeds the limit, replace mount insulator after confirming proper installation of gear housing clamps. Hold steering wheel at each lock” position for five seconds and carefully check for fluid leakage.
This is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning steering wheel slowly. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 360° from the neutral position. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check rack sliding force.

Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm. I If pressure increases above maximum operating pressure, check power steering pump flow control valve.
