Steering wheel free-play inspection

 

 

90

     

In the assembled mode, check the 

free-play of the steering wheel while the car is 
driving in straight line. The free play of the 
steering wheel in the circumferential direction 
should be no larger than 0~30mm. In the case 
that the free play goes beyond the specified 
value, the following items should be checked 
to see: if the joint of the steering horizontal 
lever is worn out (when a torque of over 
0.2N.m is applied, the joint should be moved); 
if the lower ball knuckle is worn out; if the 
steering shaft universal coupling is worn out; 
if the steering small gears or gear rack is worn 
out or damaged and if the fixture or joining of 
the parts is loose.

Steering wheel Removal 
Remove the battery jumper wires; remove the 
steering wheel label cover assembly; remove 
the steering shaft screw nut. To facilitate 
positioning in the installation, matching signs 
are to be made on the steering wheel and the 
steering shaft, then remove the steering wheel 
with the special purpose remover.   

 
Removal of the steering column assembly 
1)  Remove the wire bundle of the steering 
wheel cover and horn switch. 
2)  Remove the fastening screw nuts the 
steering wheel. 
3) 

Remove the combination switch 

assembly. 

4) Remove the joining bolt for the steering

Inspection 
1、The steering shaft and universal coupling: check to see if the steering shaft is bent, or if the 
spine is damaged; check to see if there are any cracks on the universal coupling, or if the free 
play is too large. If so, replace the universal coupling assembly.   

2、Steering column: check all the covers of the steering column stand, with the spaces from 
the slot bottom within 1.00mm. If not, make proper replacements. Check to see if the steering 
column is bent, cracked or deformed. 

Installation 
The order of installation steps is just the opposite to that for removal. 
Attention: Apply alkali-based lubricating grease on the interior slot of the rubber sleeve of 
the steering column, and tighten the associated bolts and screw nuts with the specified torque.
