Adjusting steering rack

Two mechanics are required to perform adjustment. Perform adjustment with engine switched off.

• Raise vehicle on lifting platform.
• Wheels in straight-ahead position.
• If there is excessive play in the steering, a knocking noise will be audible when the steering wheel is rocked back and forth (about 30° either side of centre position).

• In this case, have the second mechanic carefully screw in the adjusting screw -1- into the cover until the knocking noise can no longer be heard inside the vehicle.
• Carry out road test. During this, ensure that the steering independently resets itself to the straight-ahead position after cornering, without catching.

• Secure adjusting screw -1- with three punch marks -arrows-.
