     • Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
   • Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.
