STEERING SYSTEM
[T2031 4-3
3. MEASUREMENT OF STEERING EFFORT
'4
Measure steering efforts in stand still
with engine idling on concrete road .
Result : Engine r.p.m . sensing type : 30.4
N (3 .1 kg, 6 .8 lb)
Vehicle speed sensing, electroni-
cally controlled hydraulic reac-
tion type : 22 .6 N (2 .3 kg, 5.1 Ib)
or less in both direction
O . K.
Measure steering effort with vehicle
stopped and engine off . Make sure
wheels are off the ground during mea-
surement .
Result : 16 .7 N (1 .7 kg, 3 .7 lb) or less in
both direction
J O . K.
Remove joint I A S S Y .
Measure steering wheel effort .
Result : Maximum force is 2 .26 N
(0 .23 kg, 0.51 lb) or less in
both direction.
Fluctuation width is 1 .08 N
(0 .11 kg, 0.24 lb) or less .
f O .K.
Measure folding torque of the joint
ASSY .
Result : 5.49 N (0.56 kg, 1 .23 lb) or
less for long yoke .
8.43 N (0.86 kg, 1 .90 lb) or
less for short yoke .
j O. K .
Check front w, heels for unsteady
revolution or rattling and brake for
dragging .
J O . K.
Remove tie-rod ends .

Adjust backlash .
"4 When turning steering more quickly
than necessary from a direction to the
other direction at an engine speed
over 2,000 rpm, steering effort may be
heavy . This is caused by flow charac-
teristie of oil pump and is no problem .
Adjust backlash .
Check, readjust, replace if neces-
sary .
Replace with a new one .
Inspect, readjust, replace if neces-
sary .
