Turning Angle
The maximum turning angle is set mechanically
through the two steering stop screws installed
on the swivel assembly. The turning angle (58°
+ 0° - 1°) mechanical stop is factory adjusted to
accommodate the chassis design, and
therefore, does not require adjustment on new
vehicles.
However, turning angle should be checked and
adjusted hydraulically, if necessary, any time a
component of the steering system is repaired,
disassembled or adjusted.
Before checking the turning angle, be sure the
front end is properly aligned as described under
paragraph "3.16 Front End Alignment" in this
supplement.
To check steering maximum turning angle,
proceed with the following method:
1. Check if front tires rub against the frame or if
the steering gear has been serviced.
CAUTION
If clamps are not correctly installed, they can
interfere with other parts.
2. For a full left and right turn, check clamps'
position and for interfering parts. Refer to
figures 12 to 16 for location and positioning
of clamps. If readjustment is required, make
the proper adjustment.
NOTE
Prior to steering limiter adjustment, verify
vehicle wheel alignment, and ensure that oil
level is adequate and that air bleeding is done.
3. If necessary readjust steering limiter. Refer
to "ZF-SERVOCOM Repair Manual"
annexed to Section 14 of Maintenance
Manual, "Steering", under heading: "Setting
and Functional Test".
