INSPECTION

STEERING COLUMN SHAFT TOTAL ROTATION TORQUE CHECK

1.Install the nut to the end of the steering column shaft. Then use the preload socket (Special tool: MB990326) to rotate the shaft at a rate of one turn per 4 to 6 seconds, and then measure the total rotation torque.
Standard value:
Total rotation torque: 1.77 N·m or less
Torque fluctuation: 0.6 N·m or less

note

Rotate by 180° in left and right directions from the neutral position, and measure the total rotation torque.

2.When the measured value is not within the standard value, replace the steering column shaft assembly (Refer to

)
