wheel as shown in the illustration.
- Measure the distance between the 2 lines on the
masking tape of the steering wheel.
- Convert the measured distance to steering angle.
Measured distance 1 mm (0.04 In.) = Steering angle
approximately 1 deg.
Hint
:
make a note of the steering angle.
- adjust steering angle.
Notice
:
the adjustment method for steering angle varies depending
on the models. Check whether it is type a or b.
