Put the steering wheel in the middle position.
Through the open door window, turn the steering wheel to the right and left, while observing the front wheels. The free play of the steering wheel, before the wheels begin to turn, must not exceed 25 mm.
If the free play of the steering wheel is greater, it is necessary to check the steering rods, the steering mechanism and the clearances in the front axle bearings.
Swing the tie rods strongly by hand in different directions. Ball joints must not have gaps, otherwise the joints or rods must be replaced.
