Turning Effort Test

NOTE: Make sure the front wheels are correctly aligned and tire pressure is correct before checking turning effort.
  1. Park the vehicle on dry concrete and set the parking brake.
  2. Idle the engine for two to three minutes. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right several times to warm the power steering fluid to 43-49°C (110-120°F).
  3. With the engine running, attach a pull scale to rim of the steering wheel. Measure the pull required to turn the steering wheel one complete revolution in each direction. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
