Steering wheel free-play inspection

90

In the assembled mode, check the

free-play of the steering wheel while the car is
driving in straight line. The free play of the
steering wheel in the circumferential direction
should be no larger than 0~30mm. In the case
that the free play goes beyond the specified
value, the following items should be checked
to see: if the joint of the steering horizontal
lever is worn out (when a torque of over
0.2N.m is applied, the joint should be moved);
if the lower ball knuckle is worn out; if the
steering shaft universal coupling is worn out;
if the steering small gears or gear rack is worn
out or damaged and if the fixture or joining of
the parts is loose.

Inspection
1、The steering shaft and universal coupling: check to see if the steering shaft is bent, or if the
spine is damaged; check to see if there are any cracks on the universal coupling, or if the free
play is too large. If so, replace the universal coupling assembly.

2、Steering column: check all the covers of the steering column stand, with the spaces from
the slot bottom within 1.00mm. If not, make proper replacements. Check to see if the steering
column is bent, cracked or deformed.

Installation
The order of installation steps is just the opposite to that for removal.
Attention: Apply alkali-based lubricating grease on the interior slot of the rubber sleeve of
the steering column, and tighten the associated bolts and screw nuts with the specified torque.
