Stationary Test

  1. Position vehicle on level surface. Place steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Start engine and let idle. Using a spring scale, measure steering wheel turning force clockwise and counterclockwise.
  2. On Montero, turning force should be 8.2 lbs. (3.7 kg) or less. On Montero Sport, turning force should be 8.8 lbs. (3.9 kg) or less. If turning force exceeds specification, check for loose or damaged belt, insufficient fluid, air in power steering fluid, and collapsed or twisted hoses. Repair or replace as necessary.
