Components Tests
Steering Linkage
1. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and move it upand down and to the left and right without
turning the steering wheel to check the steering
column bearing for wear, steering column shaft
for wear, steering wheel for looseness and
steering column for looseness. If the steering
column bearing or the steering column shaft is
worn install a new steering column. If the
steering wheel or the steering column is loose,
tighten the steering wheel or the steering column
retaining bolts.
2. With the road wheels in the straight ahead position, gently turn the steering wheel to the
left and the right to check for free play in the
steering linkage.
3. There should be no excessive free play at the steering wheel rim. If there is excessive free
play, CHECK the tie-rod inner and outer ball
joints, REFER to Tie-Rod Component Test in
this procedure. CHECK the steering column
universal joint, REFER to Steering Column
Universal Joint Component Test in this
procedure. If there is no free play in the tie-rod
and the steering column, install a new steering
gear.
Tie-Rod
CAUTION: Steering gear boots must be
handled carefully to avoid damage. Use
new steering boot clamps when installing
the steering gear boots.
NOTE: Noises such as knocks, which may appear
to originate from the steering linkage, may also be
generated by front suspension components.
