Ensure front wheels (1007)
are properly aligned and tire pressure is
correct before checking turning effort.
Park vehicle on dry concrete and set the parking brake.
Idle the engine for two or three minutes. Turn the steering wheel (3600)
to the left and right several times to warm the fluid to
43° - 49°C (110° - 120°F).
With the engine running, attach a pull scale to the rim of the steering wheel
. Starting with the wheels
in straight-ahead position, measure the pull
required to turn the steering wheel
one complete revolution in each direction. Refer to the Static Steering Wheel Turning Efforts chart
for acceptable measurements at the
back of this section.
