Steering Gear: Adjustments

Adjusting steering gear

Note: Two mechanics are required when adjusting. Adjust with engine switched off.

- Raise vehicle on hoist.
- Wheels in straight-ahead position.
- By turning the steering wheel back and forth (about 30° from center axis) a knocking noise will be heard if there is excessive play.





- The second mechanic carefully turns the adjustment screw into the cover until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.
- Perform road test to make sure steering returns to center without sticking.





- Secure lock nut with a punch mark -arrow-.
