*a

Marked Line

(5) Draw a new line on the masking tape on the steering wheel assembly as shown in the illustration.

(6) Measure the distance between the 2 lines on the masking tape on the steering wheel assembly.

(7) Convert the measured distance to steering angle.

HINT:

  • Measured distance of 1 mm (0.0394 in.) = Steering angle of approximately 1 degree.
  • Make a note of the steering angle.

(b) Adjust the steering angle.

(1) Draw a line on the RH and LH tie rod end sub-assemblies and rack end sub-assemblies where it can be easily seen.
