Steering Transfer Gear: Inspection

Do not disassemble steering transfer gear assembly. 

• Check that steering transfer gear assembly operates smoothly. Also check for grease leakage, deformation and damage. Replace steering transfer gear assembly if necessary.
• Check rotating torque at input shaft in 360° and in both directions.
  1. Rotating torque: 
     1. 0.25 - 0.69 N.m (2.5 - 7.0 kg-cm, 2.2 - 6.1 in-lb) 

  If rotating torque is out of specification, replace steering transfer gear assembly.
