steering wheel in the peripheral direction. Measure the
play on the circumference of the steering wheel.

become separated.
2. The nut should be loosened only, not removed.
3. Measure the steering gear backlash at the pitman arm top
end with a dial indicator.
Limit : 0.5 mm (.02 in.)

effort will be required, and return of the wheel will
be adversely affected.
