 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. The special tool disconnect a tip of steering draft and the hinge.
  1. Several times shake here and there a pin of the spherical hinge of a tip of steering draft.
  1. Screw two nuts on a pin of the spherical hinge and measure torque. Torque: 0,5–2,5 N • m.
  1. If the torque exceeds admissible values, replace a tip of steering draft.
  2. If the torque is much lower than admissible value, the spherical hinge can be reused if it is not got jammed and has no excessive side play.
