STEERING WHEEL RESTORATION
1. Turn the steering wheel fast to the right and left and
turn it slowly as the same way.
2. Check if the steering wheel restoration for the wheel
turning to right and the one to the left are same.
3. Turn the steering wheel to 90 about 1–2 seconds
and loosen the steering wheel during the low speed
driving.
4. If the steering wheel restores above 70%, the steer-
ing wheel restoration is OK.
5. If the restoration is poor, check the tire pressure,
steering gear preload, and steering gear operation.
And repair the fault.
CHECK THE TURNING RESISTANCE
OF THE TIE ROD END OR TIE ROD
1. Turn the ball joint of the tie rod end or the tie rod about
10 times.
2. Use a spring balance to check the turning resistance
of each ball joint.

Application Specified Value
Tie Rod End Ball Joint0.49 – 3.43 Nm
(4.5 – 30 lb-in.)

Tie Rod Ball Joint0.49 – 3.43 Nm
(4.5 – 30 lb-in.)
3. If the values exceed the specified values, replace the
tie rod end or the tie rod.
4. But, If the ball joint of the tie rod end or the tie rod falls
down of itself, replace it.
ADJUST THE FREE LOAD OF THE
STEERING GEAR
1. Place the steering wheel in the straight–ahead posi-
tion.
2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
3. Check the torque of the adjuster plug.
4 When the measured torque is below the specification
value or the measured torque is over the specification
value, adjust the tightening torque.

Place the rack gear in the straight–ahead position.

Tighten the adjust plug to 95 Nm (70 lb-ft).

Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and
the left about 5 times repeatedly.

Place the rack gear in the straight–ahead position.

Loosen the adjust plug.

Tighten the adjust plug to 8 Nm (71 lb-in.).

Set the torque in the 0.8–1.3 Nm (8–12 lb-in.) by
loosening the adjust plug to 0 − 90.

6E – 2 STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
Caution: To ensure energy-absorbing action, it is
important to use only the specified screws, bolts,
and nuts, tightened to the specified torque.
The energy-absorbing column is designed to compress
in a front-end collision to lessen the chance of driver in-
jury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the col-
umn, allowing the ignition and steering operations to be
locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.
Notice: Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling to ensure proper operation.
The column may be easily disassembled and assembled.
