Checking Stationary Steering Effort

  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.
  2. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to warm up the power steering fluid.
  3. Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the engine speed at 500 ~ 700 RPM, pull the scale and read it as soon as the tires begin to turn.
