Setting the steering gear

Setting steering gear to center position, i.e.. corresponding to driving straight ahead, is required after all repair work on the gearbox, as well as when the steering shaft assembly is installed. The transmission will go to the center position, when dimension A in fig.

will be 325 Mm (measured between the ends of the steering rods and the left shoulder of the clamp housing). At the same time, the clamp bolt on the steering shaft must be exactly horizontal. In addition, the steering wheel arms must be symmetrical to the shaft axis. If the clamp bolt is not level, it is necessary to correct the position of the input shaft.In this case, it is usually enough to shift the shaft gear by one tooth (or a few teeth) on the rack.

Conversely, if the clamp bolt is in a horizontal position, but the steering wheel is turned more than 5 from the middle position, then they should be moved to the shaft splines. using the appropriate puller.
