ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
Checking Gear Housing Movement
Movement o f steering gear housing in stationary steering is
attributable t o elastic deformation of mount insulator. The
maximum allowable movement is as follows:
Movement of gear housing:
3 mm (0.12 in) (on dry paved surface) or less
Note:
When a force of 49 N (5 kg, 1 1 Ib) is applied t o steering wheel.
On models equipped with power steering, turn off ignition key
while checking.
I f movement exceeds the limit, replace mount insulator after
confirming proper installation of gear housing clamps.
Checking and Adjusting Drive Belts
Refer to section MA for Drive Belt Inspection.
Checking Fluid Level
Check the level when the fluid is cold.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
Recommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
"Dexron Type".
Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine at idle speed or
1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80°C
(140 to 176OF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each "lock" position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in
a
locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage 0-ring,
washer and connector.
