ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK

M1372001000344

1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set the front

wheels straight ahead.

2. Slightly move the steering wheel in both directions and

measure the play on the steering wheel circumference
before the wheels start to move.

Limit: 30 mm (1.2 inch)

3. If the play exceeds the limit, check on the steering shaft and

steering linkage connection. Correct or replace.

4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set the steering

wheel straight ahead with the engine stopped. Apply 5 N
(1.1 pound) towards the steering wheel circumference and
check the play.

Standard value (steering wheel play with the engine
stopped): 10 mm (0.4 inch) or less

5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove the steering

gear (refer to

P.37-33

) and check the total pinion torque

(refer to

P.37-41

).
