Check tie-rod ends, tie-rods and ball
joints of suspension for unsteady
revolution or rattling.
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Inspect, replace if necessary.
Measure rotating and sliding resistance
of gearbox.
Result: Rotating resistance is 11.18 N
(1.14 kg, 2.51 lb) or less around
center position and 15.79 N
(1.61 kg, 3.55 lb) or less in all
positions within 20% difference
between clockwise and
counterclockwise.
Sliding resistance is 304 N (31
kg, 68 lb) or less with 20%
difference between left and right
directions.NOT GOOD
Readjust backlash, if ineffective replace
bad parts.
