PLAY INSPECTION

1. Turn steering wheel to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn steering wheel clockwise

and counterclockwise until the front wheels start moving. Measure the travel to the starting point on the

circumference of steering wheel. If play is outside the specified range, check steering gear assembly, front

suspension, axles, and steering column for proper installation.

2. Check steering wheel for vertical, horizontal, or axial play.

● Lift vehicle and check steering gear nuts and bolts for looseness.

NEUTRAL POSITION INSPECTION

● After wheel alignment inspection, perform neutral position inspection. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel Alignment"

● Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.

● If it is not in the neutral position, loosen lock nut on tie-rod. Then adjust until the amount of left and right

becomes equal.

STEERING TORQUE INSPECTION

2. Remove air bag module. Refer to SRS-36, "

DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE" .

3. Start engine and use a preload gauge (SST) to check steering

wheel torque.

4. When torque is outside the standard, check steering column and

steering gear. If any non-standard condition is detected, replace

if necessary.

STEERING ANGLE INSPECTION

● After toe-in inspection, check the steering angle. Place the front

wheels on turning radius gauges and the rear wheels on stands

so that the vehicle can be level. Check the maximum inner and

outer wheel steering angles for LH and RH road wheels.
