Steering Wheel Turning Torque

  1. Park vehicle on dry, level surface. Ensure tire pressure is correct. Apply parking brake. Start and run engine at idle until reservoir power steering fluid temperature is 140-176°F (60-80°C). Attach spring scale to steering wheel.
  2. Measure steering wheel turning torque after steering wheel has been turned 360 degrees from neutral position. Turning torque should be 9 lbs. (4.1 kg) or less. If turning torque is not within specification, check rack sliding force to determine condition of steering gear. See RACK SLIDING FORCE  under TESTING.
