Steering Gear: Adjustments

Power Steering Gear, Adjusting

Two technicians are required for adjustments. Adjust with engine off.

- Raise vehicle on platform.

- Wheels in straight-ahead position.

- Turning the steering wheel back and forth (approximately 30° off center axis) will produce a rattling noise if steering play is too large.

- The second technicians must carefully screw the adjustment screw - arrow - until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.







- Carry out a road test.

- Make sure that when maneuvering or negotiating corners the steering self-centers without sticking, re-adjust if necessary.
