Steering rack position adjustment
1 - steering gear housing; 2 - rail; 3 - cap nut; 4 – steering draft; a = 68.5 mm (steering without power steering); a = 72.5 mm (power steering)
Before installing the steering mechanism on the vehicle, the rack must be in the middle position. For the steering mechanism supplied as spare parts, the rack must be in the middle position.
1. Use a vernier caliper to measure the distance a indicated in Fig. Steering rack position adjustment. It should be the same on both sides of the steering gear. For steering without power steering, the distance a should be 68.5 mm, with power steering - 72.5 mm. Otherwise, the rack position must be adjusted.
2. Adjust the rack position by turning the shaft 11 (see fig. Steering gear parts (steering without power steering)) steering gear in the appropriate direction.
