Checking Front Wheel Turning Angle

CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE





^ Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.





^ With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop and measure the turning angles.








^ Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.





^ Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
^ Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.
