POWER±ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM2A±5
Power Steering System
There is some noise in all power steering systems. One
of the most common is a hissing sound when the steering
wheel is fully turned and the car is not moving. This noise
will be most evident when the steering wheel is operated
while the brakes are applied. There is no relationshipbetween this noise and steering performance. Do not
replace the valve unless the ªhissingº noise is extremely
objectionable. A replacement valve will also have a slight
noise, and is not always a cure for the condition.

4. Bleed the system. Refer to Bleeding the Power
Steering System
in this section.
5. Start the engine and check the fluid level. Add power
steering fluid if required. When the engine is at
normal operating temperature, increase engine
speed to 1500 rpm.
CAUTION: Do not leave shutoff valve fully closed
for more than 5 seconds, as the pump could become
damaged internally.
6. Fully close the shutoff valve. Record the highest
pressures.

If the pressure recorded is within 9300±9800 kPa
(1350±1420 psi), the pump is functioning within its
specifications.

If the pressure recorded is higher than 9800 kPa
(1420 psi), the valve in the pump is defective.

If the pressure recorded is lower than 9300 kPa
(1350 psi), the valve or the rotating group in the
pump is defective.
7. If the pump pressures are within specifications, leave
the valve open and turn (or have someone else turn)
the steering wheel fully in both directions. Record the
highest pressures and compare with the maximum
pump pressure recorded in step 6. If this pressure
cannot be built in either side of the power steering
unit, the power steering unit is leaking internally and
must be replaced.
8. Shut the engine off, remove the testing gauge.
9. Reconnect the pressure hose, check the fluid level
and make the needed repairs.
10. If the problem still exists, the steering and front
suspension must be thoroughly examined.
Maintenance
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and fluid level
in the reservoir should be checked at regular intervals and
fluid added when required. Refer to
Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants in General Information
section for
the type of fluid to be used and the intervals for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as described in
this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, the pump must be
completely disassembled before further usage. (The
steering unit cannot be disassembled.)
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make
sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. Air in the system will cause spongy
action and noisy operation. When a hose is disconnected
or when fluid is lost, for any reason, the system must be
bled after refilling. Refer to
Bleeding the Power Steering
System
in this section.

Inspect belt for tightness.

Inspect pulley for looseness or damage. The pulley
should not wobble with the engine running.

Inspect hoses so they are not touching any other
parts of the vehicle.

Inspect fluid level and fill to the proper level.
Fluid Level
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid reaches
normal operating temperature, about 55
C (130
F),
then shut the engine off.
2. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid as
specified in General Information to the proper level
and install the receiver cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced, air must be bled from the
system. Refer to
Bleeding the Power Steering
System
in this section.
Bleeding The Power Steering System
When a power steering pump or unit has been installed,
or an oil line has been disconnected, the air that has
entered the system must be bled out before the vehicle is
operated. If air is allowed to remain in the power steering
fluid system, noisy and unsatisfactory operation of the
system may result.
Bleeding Procedure
When bleeding the system, and any time fluid is added to
the power steering system, be sure to use only power
steering fluid as specified in General Information.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and let
the fluid settle for at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds. Do
not turn the steering wheel. Then turn the engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level
remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle so that
the wheels are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel right
and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Lower the vehicle, set the steering wheel at the
straight forward position after turning it to its full steer
positions 2 or 3 times, and stop the engine.
9. Check the fluid level and refill as required.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to set
a few minutes, then repeat the above procedure.
Flushing The Power Steering System
1. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle off the
ground until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the pump inlet
connector and plug the connector port on the pump.
Position the line toward a large container to catch the
draining fluid.
3. While running the engine at idle, fill the reservoir with
new power steering fluid. Turn the steering wheel in
both directions. Do not contact or hold the steering
wheel to the wheel stops. This will cause the pump to
go to pressure relief mode, which may cause a
sudden fluid overflow at the reservoir.

POWER±ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM2A±13
Caster (1) is the vertical tilting of the wheel axis either
forward or backward (when viewed from the side of the
vehicle). A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is
negative (-). On the short and long arm type suspension
you cannot see a caster angle without a special
instrument, but if you look straight down from the top of
the upper control arm to the ground, the ball joints do not
line up (fore and aft) when a caster angle other than 0
degree is present. With a positive angle, the lower ball
joint would be slightly ahead (toward the front of the
vehicle) of the upper ball joint center line.
Toe-in:
This illustration shows view from the top of the vehicle.
480RS003Toe-in is the measured amount the front wheels are
turned in. The actual amount of toe-in is normally a
fraction of a degree. Toe-in is measured from the center
of the tire treads or from the inside of the tires. The
purpose of toe-in is to insure parallel rolling of the front
wheels and to offset any small deflections of the wheel
support system which occurs when the vehicle is rolling
forward. Incorrect toe-in results in excessive toe-in and
unstable steering. Toe-in is the last alignment to be set in
the front end alignment procedure.
Inspection
Before making any adjustments affecting caster, camber
or toe-in, the following front end inspection should be
made.
1. Inspect the tires for proper inflation pressure. Refer to
Main Data and Specifications in Wheel and Tire
System
section.
2. Make sure that the vehicle is unladen condition (With
no passenger or loading).
3. Make sure that the spare tire is installed at the normal
position.
4. Inspect the front wheel bearings for proper
adjustment. Refer to
Front Hub and Disc Overhaul in
Suspension
section.
5. Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends. If excessive
looseness is noted, correct before adjusting. Refer to
Steering Linkage in this section.6. Inspect the wheel and tires for run-out. Refer to
Wheel Replacement in Wheel and Tire System
section.
7. Inspect the trim height. If not within specifications, the
correction must be made before adjusting caster.
8. Inspect the steering unit for looseness at the frame.
9. Inspect shock absorbers for leaks or any noticeable
noise. Refer to
Shock Absorber in Suspension
section.
10. Inspect the control arms or stabilizer bar attachment
for looseness. Refer to
Suspension section.
11. Inspect the front end alignment using alignment
equipment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
12. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Trim Height Adjustment
Adjust the trim height (1) by means of the adjusting bolt on
the height control arms.
CAUTION: When adjusting front end alignment, be
sure to begin with trim height first, as it may change
other adjusted alignments.
