Checking Front Wheel Turning Angle

CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE





^ Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands so that vehicle can be level. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.





^ Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right and left, measure the turning angle.








^ If it is not within specification, measure the rack strokes (L).





^ If the rack stroke is outside of the specification, disassemble the steering gear to check the rack stroke.
^ Turning angles are not adjustable. If any of the steering angles is not within specification, check following components for wear or damage.
- Steering gear
- Steering column
- Front suspension components
