| CHECK STEERING EFFORT. |
|
1) Stop the vehicle on paved road. 2) Start the engine. 3) Run the engine at idle. 4) Install a spring scale on the steering wheel. 5) Pull the spring scale at a right angle to the steering wheel, and measure both right and left steering wheel efforts. NOTE: When turning the steering more quickly than necessary from one direction to the other at an engine speed of 2,000 rpm or more, steering effort may be heavy. This is caused by flow characteristic of the fluid in the oil pump and is not a defect. |
