- Remove steering wheel impact guard by compressing sides slightly. Install a torque wrench on steering wheel nut.
- With engine at idle, turn steering wheel (using torque wrench) slowly to right and read torque the moment pressure reaches 170 psi (12 kg/cm2
). Repeat operation turning steering wheel to left. Torque should be 30-40 INCH lbs. (35-46 cmkg) as pressure approaches 170 psi (12 kg/cm2
). The difference between right and left sides may not exceed 8 INCH lbs. (9 cmkg).
- If the difference between the sides exceeds this amount, use the following procedures for correction.
