Noise |
Hissing Noise in Steering Gear There is some noise with all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound when the steering wheel is turned and the car is not moving. This noise will be most evident when turning the wheel while the brakes are being applied. There is no relationship between this noise and steering performance. Do not replace the valve unless the "hissing" noise becomes extreme. A replaced valve will also make a slight noise, and is not always a solution for the condition. |

Repair procedures
| Service adjustment procedure |
| Steering Wheel Play Inspection |
| 1. |
Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels are facing straight ahead. |
| 2. |
Mark the center of the steering wheel.
|
| 3. |
Measure the distance that the steering wheel can be turned without moving the front wheels.
|
| 4. |
If the play exceeds standard value, inspect the steering column, shaft, and linkages. |
| Checking Stationary Steering Effort |
| 1. |
Position the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position. |
| 2. |
Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the idle RPM, pull the scale and read it as soon as the tires begin to turn.
|
| 3. |
If the measured value exceeds standard value, inspect the steering gear box. |
