Stationary Steering Effort Check

STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK

1. Park the vehicle on a level paved road, position the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.

2. Start the engine, and maintain the engine speed at 1,000 ± 100 r/min.





3. Position the spring scale on the circumference of the steering wheel, and measure the steering force at the time when the steering wheel is turned to right or left side (within the range of one and a half turns) from the center position.
Standard value:
Steering force: 32 N (7.2 lb) or less
Fluctuation band: 5.9 N (1.33 lb) or less
4. If not within the standard value, check and adjust the suspected components.
