Adjusting Plug
Gear Preload Check ▶
Preload is the term used in mechanical engineering to describe the load applied to a fastener merely as
a result of being fastened (and before any external loads are applied)
5. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Place the wheels at straight ahead direction.
Lift up the vehicle with a lift.
Unscrew the adjusting plug lock nut.
Measure the torque of the adjusting plug. 1.
2.
3.
4.
If the torque is excessive or too low, adjust to
the specified torque. 5.
Place the rack gear to the center position.
Tighten the adjusting plug to 10.2 Nm.
Turn the pinion gear so that the rack gear is
turned to lock to lock 5 times.
Unscrew the adjusting plug.
Tighten the adjusting plug to 4.6 to 5.6 Nm.
Unscrew the adjusting plug to 67.5°. -

The difference between both sides should be
within 0.6 kg.Park the vehicle on a paved and flat ground
and place the front wheels at straight ahead
direction.
Start the engine and let it run around 1,000
rpm.
Install the spring scale on the circumference o
f
the steering wheel and measure the steering
effort in both directions. 1.
2.
3. Steering Effort Check ▶
Steering Angle Check ▶
Place the front wheel on a turning radius
measuring tool.
Turn the steering wheel to the its both ends
and measure the maximum steering angle. 1.
2.
If the steering angle is out of the specified
value, check and adjust the toe-in.
Steering angleInner36.2˚
Outer32.4˚
Free Play Check ▶
Start the engine and place the wheels at
straight ahead direction.
Turn the steering wheel until the tires starts to
move and measure the distance on the
circumference of the steering wheel. 1.
2.
If the free play is out of the specified value,
check the free play in steering column shaft
connection and steering linkage. Replace or
repair if necessary.
Free play30 mm
Steering effort in

Oil Change ▶
Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain
the fluid completely with oil suction device. To
make it easy, turn the steering wheel to its
both ends several times.
Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir
and bleed air from the steering system. 1.
2. Oil Level Check ▶
Place the vehicle on a level ground and start
the engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).
Place the steering wheel at straight ahead
direction.
Check the oil level in the power steering oil
reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX
and MIN. 1.
2.
3.
4.
If the difference between two measurements
is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX
and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm,
bleed air from the system. Check the fluid level on a level ground with the
engine turned off. The fluid level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir cap gauge.

Air Bleeding ▶
Lift up the vehicle very carefully.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends
several times and add the oil up to MAX line
in the steering oil reservoir.
Periodically crank the starting motor and turn
the steering wheel to its both ends without
any interruption.
Check the oil level again. If the oil level is
fluctuated, repeat the procedures from step 3
to step 5.
Start the engine.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends until
any bubble can be found in the steering oil
reservoir.
Perform the test drive and check the steering
wheel for normal operation and noise.
If the oil level abruptly goes up, bleed the air
from the system again. 1.
2.
3.

The air bleeding should be done after servicing
the power steering system and when the
difference between two measurements (cooled
and normal temperature) is prominent.

If the air bleeding is not properly performed,
the life span of the power steering pump
may be shortened. -

Oil Pump Pressure Check ▶
Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power
steering pump.
Install the pressure gauge between the
power steering pump and the power steering
oil pressure line.
Place the shift lever to neutral position. Apply
the parking brake.
Open the valve in pressure gauge. Start the
engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level. 1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Before checking the pressure, check the oil
level and belt tension. Prepare the empty
container to collect the spilled oil during the
service. Check the oil pump pressure to locate any
defect in oil pump.
Fully close the valve in pressure gauge and
measure the oil pressure. 6.

To prevent internal damage, do not close
the gauge valve over 10 seconds.
Keep the oil temperature at proper range. -
