- Check the following items when turning angle is out of the standard.
  - Check rack stroke (L).
    (L): Refer to "POWER STEERING GEAR ".
  - If rack stroke is out of specification, replace steering gear assembly.
- Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly, and front suspension components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.
