9. Examine the front brake disc plate surface runout.
When measuring, tighten the two wheel nut's symmetrical
locations. The front brake disc's brake linings runout on the
two sides should be less than 0.11 mm.
10. Install the brake caliper assembly.
Install the brake caliper on the steering knuckle, and tighten
the bolt according to the set torque.
Tightening torque: 100±10 N·m

2. Remove the trailing arm spindle sleeve.
(a) M a r k w i t h a w h i t e p a i n t p e n , a n d r e m e m b e r t h e
direction of the trailing arm spindle sleeve assembly .
(b) The trailing arm spindle sleeve is a disposable part. If
it is damaged, first use a pry bar to lift up the edge of
the trailing arm spindle sleeve's outer tube in order to
install SST.
(c) Use SST (Special Service Tools) to clog the spindle
sleeve's installation tube. Tighten the two bolts, twist
them with a wrench and push out the spindle sleeve.
Caution: When performing the pressing out process,
be certain to ensure the trailing arm spindle sleeve is
vertically forced out.
3. Install the new trailing arm spindle sleeve with nylon
bushing assembly.
(a) Before installing the new trailing arm spindle sleeve
with nylon bushing assembly, first distinguish the
installation direction for the trailing arm spindle
sleeve's nylon bushing assembly, whereas the direction
of the nylon lining's four holes face one end of the
trailing arm.
Caution: Do not install the trailing arm spindle sleeve
with nylon bushing assembly in the opposite direction.
(b) Use SST to position the trailing arm spindle sleeve with
nylon bushing assembly, and slowly press it in.
Caution: When performing the pressing process, be
certain to ensure the trailing arm spindle sleeve is
vertically forced in.

Steering wheel
free play too
big / abnormal
noise
1. Too much clearance between the steering
gear and gear rack.

connection is loose.
5. Steering wheel and steering column connec-
tor is loose.
6. Steering gear mounting bolt is loose.
7. The sliding spline of the lower propeller
shaft is worn and loose.
1. Have the clearance adjusted by professionals,
and if it cannot be adjusted, replace the steer-
ing gear.
2. After inspection, replace the ball stud if nec-
essary.
3. Replace the lower section of steering column.
4. Fasten the connection bolts in accordance
with the specified torque.
5. Fasten the lock nut of the steering wheel.
When the spline is damaged, make sure to re-
place the steering wheel or steering column.
6. Fasten the mounting bolts of the steering
gear.
7. Replace the lower section of steering column.
Hard steering
1. Tire pressure insufficient.
2. Front wheel alignment angle incorrect.
3. Clearance between the steering gear presses
too small.
4. Steering column's spider bearing broken.
5. Steering tie rod ball stud lacks oil or is dam-
aged.
6. Front shock absorber's support bearing bro-
ken.
7. Damaged lower swing arm ball end.
8. Damaged steering pump leads to insufficient
output volume and output pressure.
9. Power steering pump belt slides.
10.Power steering gear internal leakage too
much.
11. Power steering contains air bubbles and pro-
duces irregular noise.
12. Power steering insufficient.
1. Inflate according to the specified pressure.
2. Check and adjust the front wheel alignment
angle.
3. Replace the steering gear or have profession-
als adjust the clearance between the presses.
4. Replace the lower section of steering column.
5. Replace the lower section of the steering tie
rod ball.
6. Replace the connecting components of the
front shock absorber (refer to the front sus-
pension maintenance section).
7. Replace the lower swing arm (refer to the
front suspension maintenance section).
8. Replace the power steering pump.
9. Adjust the belt's tension.
10. Replace the power steering gear.
11.In place, repeatedly turn, exhaust the air
bubble, then after leaving it stationary for one
hour, replenish the power steering according
to the specific model number.
12.Fill the power steering (with specific model
number) until it reaches the PS fluid reser-
voir's specified scale mark.

Steering System Maintenance
Structure Introduction
The steering wheel has an airbag module which should only be inspected and repaired by a professional. The
steering column's upper section adopts a steel deformation and energy absorbing crumple structure which
ensures collision protection for the driver. The lower section uses a high precision sliding spline structure,
which can effectively eliminate structural interference caused by body deformation. The steering column angle
is adjustable, which can more easily adapt to the driver, and at the same time possesses reasonable reverse
efficiency to ensure the driver has a good feel for the road. Steering sys\
tem is as shown below:
Steering column assembly removal and
installation
1. Remove the airbag.
(a) Disconnect the battery's negative cable, and wait for
one minute before canceling the airbags function in
order to avoid unnecessary injury.
(b) To ensure steering column's proper installation, during
the entire removal process, the front tires must keep
straight.
(c) Remove the two hexagon screws and the airbag module.

2. Remove the steering wheel.
(a) Remove the lock nut Q32012 (M12×1.25) of steering
wheel with a M18 socket wrench in the counterclock-
wise direction.
(b) Grip the entire steering wheel and shake it several
times, and then to pull out the steering wheel upwards.
3. Remove the upper and lower trim cover of the combina-
tion switch.
4. Remove the left and right combination switch and the
ignition lock.
(a) Pull out the wire harness on the left and right
combination switch and the ignition lock.
(b) Remove the left and right combination switch and the
ignition lock.
5. Screw off the bolt 3404202-S08 connected the steering
column and steering propeller shaft with a M13 socket
wrench in the counterclockwise direction.
6. Screw off the two flange bolts Q1840820 (d2=22) which
are in the upper part of steering column connected
to instrument brace reinforcement with a M13 socket
wrench in the counterclockwise direction, and screw
off one flange bolt Q1840850 which is in the lower
part of steering column connected to instrument brace
reinforcement with a M10 socket wrench in the counter-
clockwise direction. Follow the column's upper axes
and pull out the steering column assembly.
