Maximum Steering Angle, Checking






Maximum Steering Angle, Checking

- If the maximum steering angle has been determined on the alignment equipment, so that the value is not within the tolerance, then check for damage or deformations to the steering and suspension components and inspect the symmetry of the ties rod. In this case, shorten the "longer" tie rod end (install it deeper into the tie rod) and replace any damaged components.

- If a steering wheel fault is determined on the alignment equipment when setting the center position of the steering, check the steering and suspension for damage or deformation and replace any damaged components. Check the tie rod symmetry as well.

- Measure dimension - a - on the "shorter" tie rod head. Shorten the "longer" tie rod head to the same dimension. To do this, install the tie rod head - 1 - deeper into the tie rod - 2 -.






Dimension - a - right tie rod end = dimension - a - left tie rod end; maximum permissible difference between right and left less than 2.5 mm.

- When the steering wheel returns to its center position, let the steering wheel "come to its center" using even movements.
