LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION
CHECKING STEERING ANGLE
- Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle. Steering angle STEERING ANGLE REFERENCE Inner 39.52° Outer 32.17°
- If the measured value is not within the standard value, adjust the toe and inspect again.

Scheme 9
Scheme 10
- Disconnect tie rod and knuckle with the special tool (09568-4A000).
- Shake the ball joint stud several times to check for looseness. Tie rod end ball joint starting torque : 2.96 Nm (30 kg.cm, 2.18 lb-ft) or less
- If the starting torque exceeds the upper limit of the standard value, replace the tie rod end.
- Even if the starting torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, check the play of the ball joint and replace if necessary.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN
- The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both moderate and sharp turns.
- When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 20-30 kph (12-19 mph), the steering wheel should return at least 20° from its central position when it is released.
Note. If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.
