STEERING WHEEL

c.

While pulling outer socket slowly in 

±

11.5 mm (

±

0.453 in) range

from neutral position, make sure rack sliding force is within
specification.

d.

If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering
gear assembly.

CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE

●

Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection.
Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on
stands so that vehicle can be level. Check the maximum inner
and outer wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.

●

Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right
and left, measure the turning angle. 

●

If it is not within specification, measure rack strokes.

●

If rack stroke is out of specification, disassemble steering gear
assembly to check rack stroke.

●

Any turning angles are not adjustable. If any of steering angles
are out of the specification, check if the following parts are wear
or damaged.

–

Steering gear

–

Steering column

–

Front suspension components
If found that they are worn or damaged, replace them with new ones respectively.

REMOVAL

NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, fix cable with a tape so that fixing case and rotating part keep aligned. This
will omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.

1.

Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position.

2.

Remove driver air bag module. Refer to 

SRS-42, "Removal and Installation"

 .

3.

Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.

4.

Remove steering wheel with the steering wheel puller.

INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to 

PS-13, "COMPONENTS"

 .

NOTE:
Check the spiral cable neutral position after replacing or rotating spiral cable. Refer to 

SRS-44, "SPIRAL

CABLE"

*: Replace steering wheel assembly because these parts are combined with steering wheel.

DISASSEMBLY

1.

Remove the TORX bolts, and then remove horn plate kit (1)
from steering wheel.

2.

Remove fixing screws of body cover, and then remove body
cover from steering wheel.

3.

Remove fixing screws of steering wheel audio control switch,
and then remove steering wheel audio control switch from steer-
ing wheel.

ASSEMBLY

Note the following, and assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

●

Before installing body cover, check and adjust the gap between driver air bag module and steering wheel
audio control switch with the following procedure.

1.

Install steering wheel audio control switch, temporary fix it by screws.

2.

Install driver air bag module after horn plate kit.

CAUTION:

Do not pinch harness.

3.

Measure the gap between driver air bag module (1) and steering
wheel audio control switch (2) by thickness gauge or other tool.
If measured gap is out of standard, adjust switch location prop-
erly.

NOTE:
Cover the thickness gauge or other tool by tape or something to
prevent scratches when measuring the gap.

4.

Remove driver air bag module.
