SERVICE INFORMATION 00-15 begin to move with the front wheels properly in the straight ahead position. Notice: If the vehicle is equipped with a power steering unit, the wheel free play should be checked with the engine run- ing. Steering Wheel Free Play Manual Steering: 10 — 30 mm (0.4 — 1.2 in) Power Steering: 10 — 50 mm (0.4 — 2.0 in) 2. Also check the steering wheel for play and loose- ness in mount by moving it back and forth and side- ways. While driving, check for hardsteering, shimmy and tendency of steering to pull to one side. N3A0006E Power Steering Fluid Pressure Preparation 1. Install the power steering fluid pressure gauge be- tween the pump and steering unit as figure. Gauge:
5-8840-0162-0 2. Start and let the engine idle until oil temperature reaches 50 — 60 ° C (122 — 140 ° F). 3. Take measurement of the pressure gauge when the steering wheel is turned clockwise or counter- clockwise to lock. Standard Pressure (at idle speed) NQR without HBB: 11,275 kPa (115 kg/cm 2 /1,635 psi) N3A0005E NPR/NPS/NQR with HBB: 10,787 kPa (110 kg/ cm 2 /1,563 psi) Adjustment 1. Align the front wheels properly in the straight ahead position. 2. Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw of the steering unit. 3. Turn the adjust screw clockwise to decrease free play or counter-clockwise to increase. 4. After check of specified free play, tighten the lock nut to specified torque.
except Above Models: 10,297 kPa (105 kg/cm 2 / 1,439 psi) Excess pressure means pump trouble. Less pressure means steering unit trouble. Notice: This test should be done within ten seconds. Tighten: Lock nut to Manual Steering: 25 N m (2.5 kg m / 18 lb ft) Power Steering: 69 N m (7.0 kg m / 51 lb ft)
