1. STEERING OFF CENTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
(a) Check if the steering wheel is off center.
|
(1) Apply masking tape to the top center of the steering wheel and upper steering column cover. Text in Illustration
|
|
(2) Drive the vehicle in a straight line for 100 m (328 ft.) at a constant speed of 56 km/h (35 mph), and hold the steering wheel to maintain the course.
|
(3) Draw a line on the masking tape as shown in the illustration. Text in Illustration
|
|
(4) Turn the steering wheel to its straight position.
HINT:
Look at the upper surface of the steering wheel, steering spoke and SRS airbag line to find the center position.
|
(5) Draw a new line on the masking tape on the steering wheel as shown in the illustration. Text in Illustration
|
|
(6) Measure the distance between the 2 lines on the masking tape of the steering wheel.
(7) Convert the measured distance to the steering angle.
HINT:
- Measured distance 1 mm (0.0394 in.) = Steering angle of approximately 1°.
- Make a note of the steering angle.
(b) Adjust the steering angle.
|
(1) Draw a line on the RH and LH tie rods and on the RH and LH rack ends which can easily be seen. Text in Illustration
|
|
(2) Using a paper gauge, measure the distance from a RH and LH tie rod ends to the rack end screws.
HINT:
- Measure both the RH and LH sides.
- Make a note of the measured values.

(3) Remove the RH and LH boot clips from the rack boots. |

(5) Turn the RH and LH rack ends by the same amount (but in different directions) according to the steering angle.
HINT:
One 360° turn of a rack end (1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) horizontal movement) is equal to a 12° change in steering angle.
(6) Tighten the RH and LH lock nuts.
Torque:
56 N·m {566 kgf·cm, 41 ft·lbf}
NOTICE:
Make sure that the difference in length between the RH and LH tie rod ends and rack end screws is less than 1.5 mm (0.059 in.).
