left and right without moving the front wheels.
. lf the play is within the limit, the gearbox and
linkage are OK.. lf the playexceedsthe limit, adjustthe rack guide
{see page '17-13). lf the play is still excessive after
rack guide adjustment, inspect the steering
linkage and gearbox {see page 17-5).

3. lf the scale reads no morethan 29 N (3.0 kgf,6.6 lbf),
the power assist is OK. lf it reads more, check these
items:
. Front tire pressure. Steering linkage (see page 17-5). Rack gulde adjustment (see page 17-13). EPS system (see page 17-18)
