2. MEASUREMENT OF STEERING EFFORT
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK STEERING EFFORT.
1) Stop the vehicle on paved road.
2) Start the engine.
3) Run the engine at idle.
4) Install a spring scale on the steering wheel.
5) Pull the spring scale at a right angle to the
steering wheel, and measure both right and left
steering wheel efforts.
NOTE:When turning the steering more quickly than
necessary from a direction to the other direction
at an engine speed over 2,000 rpm, steering ef-
fort may be heavy. This is caused by flow char-
acteristic of the fluid in the oil pump and is not a
defect.
Is the steering effort less than
29.4 N (3.0 kgf, 6.6 lb)?
Go to step 2.Adjust the back-
lash.
2CHECK STEERING EFFORT.
1) Stop the engine.
2) Pull the spring scale at a right angle to the
steering wheel, and measure both right and left
steering wheel efforts.
Is the steering effort less than
294.2 N (30 kgf, 66.2 lb)?
Go to step 3.Perform the
adjustment.
3CHECK STEERING WHEEL EFFORT.
1) Remove the universal joint.
2) Measure the steering wheel effort.
Is steering effort less than 2.26
N (0.23 kgf, 0.51 lb)?
Go to step 4.Check, adjust and
replace if neces-
sary.
4CHECK STEERING WHEEL EFFORT.
Measure the steering wheel effort.
Is the difference of steering
effort between right and left
less than 20%?
Go to step 5.Check, adjust and
replace if neces-
sary.
5CHECK UNIVERSAL JOINT.
Measure the swing torque of the joint (yoke of
steering column side).
Is the swing torque of the uni-
versal joint less than 7.3 N
(0.74 kgf, 1.64 lb)?
Go to step 6.Replace with a
new part.
6CHECK UNIVERSAL JOINT.
Measure the swing torque of the joint (yoke of
gearbox side).
Is the swing torque of the uni-
versal joint less than 3.8 N
(0.39 kgf, 0.86 lb)?
Go to step 7.Replace with a
new part.
7CHECK FRONT WHEEL.
Check the front wheels.
Does the front wheels have
unsteady revolution or rattling,
or does the brake drag?
Inspect, readjust
and replace if nec-
essary.
Go to step 8.
8CHECK TIE–ROD ENDS.
Remove the tie–rod ends.
If the tie-rod ends of suspen-
sion have unsteady revolution
or rattling?
Inspect and
replace if neces-
sary.
Go to step 9.
9BALL JOINT CHECK.
Remove the ball joint.
If the ball joints of suspension
have unsteady revolution or
rattling?
Inspect and
replace if neces-
sary.
Go to step 10.
10 CHECK GEARBOX.
Measure the rotating of gearbox.
box.>
Is the rotating resistance of
steering gearbox less than
10.5 N (1.1 kgf, 2.4 lb)? Is the
difference between right and
left sides less than 20%?
Go to step 11.Readjust the back-
lash, and if ineffec-
tive, replace the
faulty par ts.
11 CHECK GEARBOX.
Measure the sliding of gearbox.
Is the sliding resistance of
steering gearbox less than 400
N (41 kgf, 90 lb)? Is the differ-
ence between the right and left
sliding resistance less than
20%?
Steering effort is
normal.
Readjust the back-
lash, and if ineffec-
tive, replace the
faulty par ts.
