The difference between both sides should be

within 0.6 kg.

Park the vehicle on a paved and flat ground

and place the front wheels at straight ahead

direction.

Start the engine and let it run around 1,000

rpm.

Install the spring scale on the circumference of

the steering wheel and measure the steering

effort in both directions.

Steering Angle Check

▶

Place the front wheel on a turning radius

measuring tool.

Turn the steering wheel to the its both ends

and measure the maximum steering angle.

If the steering angle is out of the specified

value, check and adjust the toe-in.

Free Play Check

▶

Start the engine and place the wheels at

straight ahead direction.

Turn the steering wheel until the tires starts to

move and measure the distance on the

circumference of the steering wheel.

Oil Change

▶

Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain

the fluid completely with oil suction device. To

make it easy, turn the steering wheel to its

both ends several times.

Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir

and bleed air from the steering system.

Oil Level Check

▶

Place the vehicle on a level ground and start

the engine and let it run at idle speed.

Turn the steering wheel several times so that

the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).

Place the steering wheel at straight ahead

direction.

Check the oil level in the power steering oil

reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX

and MIN.

If the difference between two measurements

is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX

and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm,

bleed air from the system.

Check the fluid level on a level ground with the

engine turned off. The fluid level should be

between the MIN and MAX marks on the

reservoir cap gauge.

Air Bleeding

▶

Lift up the vehicle very carefully.

Turn the steering wheel to its both ends

several times and add the oil up to MAX line

in the steering oil reservoir.

Periodically crank the starting motor and turn

the steering wheel to its both ends without

any interruption.

Check the oil level again. If the oil level is

fluctuated, repeat the procedures from step 3

to step 5.

Start the engine.

Turn the steering wheel to its both ends until

any bubble can be found in the steering oil

reservoir.

Perform the test drive and check the steering

wheel for normal operation and noise.

If the oil level abruptly goes up, bleed the air

from the system again.

The air bleeding should be done after servicing

the power steering system and when the

difference between two measurements (cooled

and normal temperature) is prominent.

If the air bleeding is not properly performed,

the life span of the power steering pump

Oil Pump Pressure Check

▶

Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power

steering pump.

Install the pressure gauge between the

power steering pump and the power steering

oil pressure line.

Place the shift lever to neutral position. Apply

the parking brake.

Open the valve in pressure gauge. Start the

engine and let it run at idle speed.

Turn the steering wheel several times so that

the oil temperature reaches to normal

operating level.

Before checking the pressure, check the oil

level and belt tension. Prepare the empty

container to collect the spilled oil during the

service.

Check the oil pump pressure to locate any

defect in oil pump.

Fully close the valve in pressure gauge and

measure the oil pressure.
