14.5. Check of effort of turn of a steering wheel

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. On the car standing on a firm horizontal surface establish forward wheels for the rectilinear movement.
  2. Increase the frequency of rotation of a bent shaft of the engine up to 1000±100 min.-1.

After check leave the engine to work at idling rotation frequency

  1. Hook on a dynamometer for a spoke of a steering wheel in the place, the most remote from the center of a wheel. With the forward wheels established for the rectilinear movement measure effort which needs to be put to a steering wheel for turn of wheels to the left and to the right on 1/4 turns.
    Effort: 29 N.
  1. Check that at turn of a steering wheel application of excessive efforts is not demanded.
  2. If the measured effort exceeds the required value, carry out the following inspections:
    – check protective covers of spherical hinges of the lower lever and a tip of steering draft for lack of damage;
    – torque which needs to be put for a provorachivaniye of a pin of the spherical hinge of a tip of steering draft;
    – torque which needs to be put for a provorachivaniye of a pin of the spherical hinge of the lower lever.
