If the wheel angle fails to be adjusted within the standard value,
change the weary or damaged parts of steering system.
If the tilt angle fails to fall within the specified values, make an
adjustment through adding or reducing the gaskets on the
location of upper arm.
Gasket thickness: 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0mm
Once the gasket thickness increases by 1mm, the outer tilt
angle of wheel will change by 7', while the back tilt angle of
kingpin will change 20'.
After the wheel outer tilt angle and the back tilt angle of kingpin
are adjusted, if the inner tilt angle of kingpin still fails to the
specified value, check the steering knuckle or front wheel to
see whether they are bending or loose.

Introduction
Principal of Power Steering
The power steering is a kind of hydraulic device that use
the engine power to steer. The engine drive the power
steering oil pump to generate the hydraulic pressure, which
actuates the piston in steering gear, so that the worm shaft
can provide to the piston with a supplementary force, which
has relation with the pressure actuated on the piston.
Therefore, pressure increase is required if larger steering
force is needed, and the pressure variation is accomplished
through the control valve.
Intermediate position (forward straightly)
The liquid from the power steering oil pump is sent to
the control valve, which, if locates at the intermediate, will
allow the liquid to pass and enter into the drain outlet, finally
return the pump. At this time, it is difficult to increase the
pressure; meanwhile, due to the equal pressures at the both
sides of the power piston, it cannot move toward either side.
Steering time
When the steering drive shaft move toward either side,
the control valve will move together with it, in case one oil
passage is shut off, meanwhile open the other larger, the
liquid flow variation will increase the pressure, as result, the
unequal pressure at both sides of piston will make the piston
move toward the side of smaller pressure, therefore, the
liquid is pressed in the pump through the control valve.

Power Steering (Introduction)
Suggestion on maintenance
The failure of power steering system usually relates to the
steering difficulty due to lack of supplementary force. In such
case, it is the first to verify the problem is produced by the pump
or steering gear when repairing. In doing so, the problem can be
checked on vehicle with the pressure meter.
On-vehicle Inspection
As the power steering is a hydraulic pressure device, its
trouble usually caused by the lack of specified hydraulic
pressure or the abnormal work of control valve. As a result, it
cannot acquire the moderate hydraulic pressure.
In case the problem is caused by the pump, the steering
wheel will deflect toward right or left. On the other side, if the
problem is caused by control valve, when the steering wheel
rotates to left or right, the steering will become more difficult
due to the unequal supplementary force. However, when there
is wear on the piston sealing ring of power cylinder, it also cause
the hydraulic pressure loss that may lead into steering difficulty
toward right or left.
Before making inspection on vehicle, verify the power
steering system firstly to see whether there is air. If any, the air
volume will increase with the variation of hydraulic pressure,
which will cause the hydraulic pressure fluctuation that makes
the power steering work abnormally. In order to verify whether
there is any air in the system, check whether the liquid level
varies or not when the steering wheel rotates completely toward
the right or left. For instance, if there is air in the system, the air
will be compressed, which will reduce the liquid level
remarkably, when the steering wheel rotating. If there is no air
in system, the liquid level variation is very small even though
the hydraulic pressure increases. This is because the liquid
volume will not varies when being compressed. And the small
liquid level variation is caused by the expansion of hose
between the pump and steering gear when the hydraulic pres-
sure increasing.
Meanwhile, the air in system sometimes will cause the
pump or steering gear produce noise when the steering wheel
rotating completely toward a certain direction. After checking
or exchanging the pump or steering gear, the on-vehicle inspec-
tion should be often conducted to guarantee the normal work of
power steering system.

Check for height of liquid level
1. Keep the body in horizontal status
2. Increase the liquid temperature
When the engine runs idly by 1000 r/m or less, rotate the
steering wheel several times from the locking position to the
reverse locking position to increase the liquid temperature.
3. Check to see whether there is foam or emulsification;
Remark: the foam or emulsification shows there is air in the
system or the liquid level is over-low.
4. Check the liquid level height in oil cup;
Check the liquid level height and, if needed, add the oil.

Change of power steering liquid
1. Tear down the oil-returning hose from the oil cup to
drain the liquid into the container;
2. Run the engine in the idle status, and rotate the
steering wheel toward the max rotating angle for
several times in right or left direction while draining the
liquid, until the oil in steering liquid is drained up.
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Connect the oil-returning pipe and inject the new
power steering liquid in the liquid tank;
Hydraulic oil type: No.8 Liquid drive oil (Q/SH003.01.012-88)
5. Start the engine, and make it running in the idle status.
Rotate the steering wheel to the max rotating angle repeatedly
several times, meanwhile, supplement new power steering
liquid in the liquid tank until there is no foam or turbidities in
the liquid tank, and the oil indicating lamp reaches the marked
range when the engine is turned off.
6. Tighten the liquid tank cover
7. Exhaust the air in the power steering system;
Ai-r bleeding in power steering system
1. Check the liquid level height in the liquid tank
Check the liquid level and, if needed, supplement the liquid.
2. Start the engine in the idle status and rotate the
steering wheel repeatedly to the max rotating angle
several times.
3. Turn off the engine and connect the ethane pipe and
bleeding plug.
4. Start the engine and rotate the steering wheel
repeatedly to the max rotating angle several times.
5. Locate the steering wheel at the intermediate position.

6. Exhaust the air in steering system:
(a) Loosen the bleeding plug;
(b) Screw up the bleeding plug when there is no air bubble
exhausted from the pipeline.
Notice: take care not let the ethane pipe slide from the
bleeding plug, because the liquid is high in temperature
and pressure.
7. Check to see whether there is air bubble or turbidities
in the oil cup, and ensure the liquid level will not
exceed the max value when the engine stops,
Measure the liquid height under the condition of engine running,
then turn off the engine and measure the liquid height again.
In case any problem is found, repeat the approaches of (5) and
(6) in Power Steering Liquid Change. If the problem still
exists, repair the power steering oil pump.
