Turning Effort Test

NOTE: Make sure front wheels are correctly aligned and tire pressure is correct before checking turning effort.

1. Park vehicle on dry concrete and set parking brake.
2. Idle engine for two to three minutes. Turn steering wheel to the left and right several times to warm fluid to 43 - 49°C (110 - 120°F).
3. With engine running, attach a pull scale to rim of steering wheel. Measure pull required to turn one complete revolution in each direction. Refer to Specifications for Static Steering Wheel Turning Efforts for acceptable measurements.
