drained power steering fluid.

Steering Wheel Free Play Inspection
RTW 73BSH000901
1. W ith the tires in the straight-ahead position, check the amount of steering wheel play by turning the
wheel in both directions until the tires begin to move.
NOTE: The wheel free play should be checked with the
engine running. Free play: 0 - 30 mm (0 - 1.18 in)
2.
Also check the steering wheel for play and
looseness in the mount by moving it back and forth
and sideways. W hen test driving, check for hard
steering, steering shimmy and tendency to pull to
one side.

Front End Alignment Inspection and
Adjustment
Toe-in Adjustment
Toe-in: Refer to Section 3A FRONT ALIGNMENT
