< BASIC INSPECTION >

STEERING WHEEL

Perform front wheel turning angle inspection, after toe-in inspection.

2. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on

stands, so that vehicle can be level.

3. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH

and RH road wheels.

• With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to

full right stop and measure the turning angles.

• Check the following items when turning angle is out of the standard.

- Check rack stroke (L).

- Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that

rack stroke is outside of the standard.

• Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear

assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension

components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles

are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if

any non-standard condition exists.
