Checking Steering Wheel Return

CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN
Check the steering wheel return and confirm the following points:
1. The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both left and right in case of moderate or sharp turns.





2. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 35 kph, the steering wheel should return at least 70° from the neutral position when it is released.

NOTE: If the steering wheel is fumed very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.
