Checking Steering Wheel Return
Checking steering wheel return
Check the steering wheel return and confirm the following points :
1. The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both moderate and sharp turns.
2. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 20-30 kph (12-19 mph), the steering wheel should return at least 20° from its central position when it is released.
NOTE:
If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.
