ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THAT STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY IS
CORRECT
With the vehicle stopped and tires pointed straight ahead,
rock the steering wheel gently back and forth with light fin-
ger pressure.
Freeplay should not exceed the maximum limit.
Maximum freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
If incorrect, repair.
2. CHECK STEERING LINKAGE AND GEAR HOUSING
(a) Check the steering linkage for looseness or dam-
age.
Check that:
wTie rod ends do not have excessive play.
wBoots are not damaged.
wBoot clamps are not loose.
(b) Check gear housing for grease leakage or oozing.
