Off Vehicle

  1. With steering gear removed from vehicle, attach gear Mounting Plate (KV48100301 ). Turn worm shaft all the way from left to right several times. Center steering gear. Turn one full turn in either direction.
  2. Using torque wrench attached to worm shaft splines, measure turning force of steering gear one turn from center position. Torque should be less than 10 INCH lbs. (1.2 N.m).
  3. Turn worm shaft back to center position while measuring torque. Torque at this point should be .9-3.5 INCH lbs. (.1-.4 N.m) more than torque measured one turn from center position. If not, loosen adjusting bolt lock nut.
  4. Turn adjusting bolt until correct turning torque specification is obtained. If the correct turning torque cannot be obtained, replace steering gear.
