3. MEASUREMENT OF STEERING EFFORT
*4
Measure steering efforts in stand still with engine idling on
concrete road.
Result: 29.4 N (3.0 kg, 6.6 lb) or less in both directions
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Adjust backlash.
Measure steering efforts in stand still with engine stalled on
concrete road.
Result: 294.2 N (30.0 kg, 66.2 lb) or less in both directions
NOT GOOD GOOD*4 When turning steering more
quickly than necessary from
a direction to the other direc-
tion at an engine speed over
2,000 rpm, steering effort
may be heavy. This is caused
by flow characteristic of oil
pump and is not a problem.
Adjust backlash.
Remove universal joint.
Measure steering wheel effort.
Result: Maximum force is 2.26 N (0.23 kg, 0.51 lb) or less in
both directions.
Fluctuation width is 1.08 N (0.11 kg, 0.24 lb) or less.
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Check, readjust, replace if
necessary.
Measure folding torque of the joint.
Result: 5.49 N (0.56 kg, 1.23 lb) or less for long yoke
8.43 N (0.86 kg, 1.90 lb) or less for short yoke
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Replace with a new one.
Check front wheels for unsteady revolution or rattling and brake
for dragging.
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Inspect, readjust, replace if
necessary.
Remove tie-rod ends.

4) When tester indicates 12 volts when its probe reaches
point“A”, a broken circuit occurs between point“A”and the
negative terminal. Slowly move tester probe toward the
negative terminal while contacting it on heat wire to locate
point where tester indication changes abruptly (0 volts).
This is the point where a broken circuit occurs.
When tester indicates 0 volts when its probe reaches point
“A”, a broken circuit occurs between point“A”and the posi-
tive terminal. Locate a point where tester indication
changes abruptly (12 volts) while slowly moving tester
probe toward the positive terminal.

C: REPAIR
1) Clean broken wire and its surrounding area.
2) Cut off slit on (used) thin film by 0.5 mm (0.020 in) width
and 10 mm (0.39 in) length.
3) Place the slit on glass along the broken wire, and
deposit conductive silver composition (DUPONT No. 4817)
on the broken portion.
4) Dry out the deposited portion.
5) Inspect the repaired wire for continuity.
