Turning Effort

NOTE: Ensure that the front wheels are properly aligned and the tire pressure are correct before checking the effort.

1. Park the vehicle on dry concrete and set the parking brake.
2. Insert a thermometer into the power steering pump reservoir.
3. Idle the engine for two to three minutes. Turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop several times to warm the fluid to 50-60�C (122-140�F).

CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time. Damage to the pump could occur.

4. With engine running, attach Spring Scale T74P-3504-Y to the rim of the steering wheel.
5. Measure the pull required to turn the steering wheel one complete revolution in each direction.
