steering rods, odiust the rood wheels so
thot tlre

3 mm lorger thon the distonce in front
of the
oxle, ond lock the steering rods in
this position
by meons of nuts.

36. Rotote
the steering screw to check the
correctness of the steering geor

With the wheels in the right-hond ond left-
hond lock position
when the steering knuckle
obuts ogoinst the boss on the king pir-r
socket,
both extreme positions
in the steering
box
must be resilient,
without ony hord impocts.
lf this is
not the cose ond there is o hord
impoct, correct the odiustment by shortening
one steering nod ond lengthening
the other one.

Fosten down
the cop by tightening the bolts. Check the
steering screw for free rototion
ond the obsence
of ploy.
The beoring should be without o cleor-
once or there hos
to be o prestress
of up to
0.07 mm.
5. Remove the bolts of the cop, slip the rub-
ber seoling ring dipped in oil on to the shoft,
ond fit the dust cup on the cop. lnstoll spring
woshers on the bolts. Should the cup be over-
stroined due to the toleronce
of the recess for
the seoling ring or the ring itself
, instoll
o poper
gosket under it os under tlre ccrp.
6. Locote the steering nut on the screw fol-
lowecl by the rocker shoft with pin, spring,

be present,
but if the resistonce is too greot,
decreose it by o slight slockening of the set
screw in the lid. The
rototing resistonce of the
shaft should not exceed 20 Nm (O.2
kpm). Refer to
page 117/118 for testing

7.8 STEERING WHEEL SHAFT AND SHAFT
BEARING
The steering wheel (column) shoft is built
up
of two ports
with the beoring in the uPPer port.
Usuolly, it is not necessory to disconnect the
two ports
of the shoft or to remove the beoring
ond steering lock. lt
con be removed from the
cor os o unit.
Removol 1. Remove the steering wheel -
see Chop-
ter 7.7. 2. Remove the screws on the lower port
of
the shoft cowling ond pull
the cowling off.After
removing two bolts, detoch the cluster switch
on the shoft from the upper port
of the shoft
cowling. 3. Remove two front screws of the upper
Port
of the cowling ond remove the cowling.
4. Disconnect the leods
from the switches
ond the switch box.
5. From under the cor, remove the bolt of the
coupling connecting the steering
column shoft
to the steering box ond detoch the dust boot
from the floor. Remove the
bolts of the shoft
beoring (from
under the shoft)
ond the bolts of
the steering lock (from
the front) fostening the
shoft to the body, ond pull
out the shoft.
Ref itting To ref it the steering column shoft
in the cor,
reverse the removing procedure. While reinstol-
ling the steering wheel (Chopter
7.7), do not
forget to check the direction indicotor switch
for correct function.
Use ploin
ond spring woshers under the bolts
of the steering lock
brocket. Reinstoll the shoft
beoring using spocing tubes, rubber bushes, ond
ploin woshers, ond secure the bolt of
the coup-
ling, connecting the steering
column shoft with
the steering box, with
o self-locking nut (for
tightening torque, see
Chopter 1.8).
To Disconnect Shofts
Remove the bolt
of the cross-pin
ioint con-
nection.
Connecting of Shofts
Fit o fostening sleeve on the tube
with the
shoft, dip the ring in oil ond slip
it on to the shoft end with
its wedge-shoped port
toword
the beoring, instoll the spring
ond the
ioint
socket of
the shoft bottom port.
Tighten
the
connection with the bolt with self-locking
nut
(tightening torque os per
Chopter 1.8).
The sleeve must be f irst built up if
the shoft
is refitted for the first time. Locote
both holves
of the sleeve on the tube ond fosten
them
lightly together by bending the tob of one holf
of ttre sleeve over the
other. The
sleeve must
on no occount clomp the tube tightly.
Bottom Port of Steering
Column Shoft
The shoft is provided
with cross-pin
ioints
ond connot be dismontled (token
oport). Before
fitting the shoft dust boot, smeor
it with
oil to
focilitote its slipping over the pcrrts
of the joint.
For this purpose,
it is clso odvisoble to wrop
the joint
in o plostic
foil or to moke o sleeve
with o pilot
cone.

from the side
of its splined
end.
2. lf necessory, remove
the circlip of the shoft
ond lift owoy the beoring. The other beoring

through the cut-outs in
the tube to ovoid domog-
ing it. 3. Remove the brocket with the steering
lock
- see Chopter 7.9.

of the shoft, then the ring with
its wedge-shoped port
focing the beoring, ond
lock both ports
in position
with the circlip.
Press the shoft into the tube ond press-in
the
beoring (ogoin pocked
with greose)
from the
other end.
2. lnstoll the brocket with the steering lock -
see Chopter 7.9.
Shoft Beorings They hove to be thoroughly lubricoted
first,
since ofter their reossembly with the shoft od-
ditionol lubricotion is not possible.
lf there is
ony doubt concerning the greose
pocking,

move the circlip f
rom the inner port
of the
beoring, toke the beoring oport, cleon it, ond
reossemble it ofter hoving pocked

Repair of Window Regulator Defects
lf the windows are difficult to wind up and
down (the
maximum torque applied on the
spindle of the window regulator with the glass
installed in the doors exceeds 2.5 Nm) (1.77
tt
lbs), it is recommended that the following steps
are taken as regards both the front
and rear doors:
1. Disconnect the regulator driving plate
from
the window glass
channel. Push the glass
upward
and try the relieved regulator by turning the
regulator crank. lf the regulator does not work
smoothly (jamming,
rattling) or if
a torque higher
than O.7 Nm/(O.495 ft lbs) in front and 1.1
Nm/(0.78 ft lbs) in the rear is required for its
operation, replace the whole regulator with a new
one working satisfactorily.
2. Adjust the centre pillar position
in the door
using the jig
as per
drawing No. A1-1 5417-S.
Loosen the top screw of the centre pillar
and
retighten it while pressing
the centre pillar
against the window glass
wound up to its upper-
most position.
Loosen the bottom screw of the
centre pillar
and retighten it while pressing
the
centre pillar
against the
window glass. 5417

-l! L
3. When bolting together the regulator driving
plate with the window glass
channel make sure
that the holes in these two parts
coincide along
the whole length of the channel. lf it is not so,
move the
channel into a satisfactory position.
4. lf the regulator is
not lubricated, lubricate the
regulator cable in the
tubing with grease
and
apply oil to the regulator
crank spindle.
To Remove ond Reinstoll Reor Door Fixed
