STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceBGS0003S
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check steering gear assembly mounting nut and bolts for looseness. Refer to PS-17, "COMPONENTS" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY

Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on
the outer circumference.

When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of power steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL

Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column and steering wheel are installed in the correct
position.

Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.

Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature. [Make sure temperature of fluid is
approximately 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).]
NOTE:
Tires need to be inflated normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360° from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance L from the hook of spring balance to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
balance.
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check
rack sliding force and relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump.
Regarding relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump, refer to PS-29,
"CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE" .
a. Disconnect lower shaft and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to FAX-5, "
COMPO-
NENT" , PS-12, "COMPONENTS" .
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has reached normal operating temperature.Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 – 35 mm (0 – 1.38 in)
Steering wheel turning force
: Less than 45 N (4.6 kg, 10 lb)

WHEEL HUB

4. Put matching mark on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing
assembly, then remove disc rotor.
5. Remove bolts, and then remove wheel hub and bearing assem-
bly from axle housing.
6. Remove hub cap from axle housing.
Axle Housing
1. Remove wheel hub and bearing assembly from axle housing. Refer to RAX-3, "Wheel Hub and Bearing
Assembly" .
2. Remove parking brake shoe and parking brake cable from back plate. Refer to PB-5, "
PARKING BRAKE
SHOE" , PB-3, "PARKING BRAKE CONTROL" .
3. Remove anchor block mounting nuts, then remove anchor block and back plate from axle housing.
4. Remove coil spring. Refer to RSU-15, "
REAR LOWER LINK & COIL SPRING" .
5. Remove axle housing side nuts and bolts on radius rod and front lower link. Refer to RSU-13, "
RADIUS
ROD" , RSU-14, "FRONT LOWER LINK" .
6. Remove cotter pin, and then loosen suspension arm mounting nut of axle housing.
7. Remove suspension arm from axle housing so as not to damage ball joint boot using the ball joint remover
(suitable tool), and then remove axle housing from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads and to prevent ball joint remover (suit-
able tool) from suddenly coming off.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the components for deformation, cracks and other damage. Replace if there are.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check suspension arm ball joint boot for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to RSU-11, "INSPECTION
AFTER REMOVAL" .
INSTALLATION
Wheel Hub and Bearing Assembly

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to RAX-3, "COMPONENT" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Assemble disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly by
aligning each matching mark as shown in the figure when install-
ing disc rotor.
NOTE:
Refer to BR-33, "
REAR DISC BRAKE" for assembly when
removing disc rotor without matching mark.

Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to
BRC-33, "
WHEEL SENSORS" .

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking
the wheel alignment for the models with VDC. Refer to BRC-40,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
