6E-2 POWER STEERING AND COLUMN
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Caution: To ensure the energy-absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
The energy-absorbing column is designed to compress
in a front-end collision to lessen the chance of driver
injury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the
column, allowing the ignition and steering operations
to be locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.
A tilt steering column uses a spherical joint to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down. This enables
the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.
Notice: Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled
easily.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Inspection Procedure
1. Start the engine and set the wheels in straight
ahead position.
2. Slightly move the steering wheel to the left and
right and measure steering wheel free play when
the front wheel is start to move.
Notice: If exceeds specification, the steering

STEERING EFFORT INSPECTION
KAA6E030
Inspection Procedure
1. Place a vehicle on the paved flat ground with front
wheels in a straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and run it at 1,000 rpm.
3. Using a scale, measure the steering effort in both
directions.
Notice : The difference in steering effort of left
and right should be within 0.6 kg.
StandardMax. 3.0 kg
