Steering Angle Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: After adjusting the steering angle, always perform calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION .)

Check that the wheel alignment is normal. (Refer to FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT .)

Place the front wheel onto the turning radius gauge, and measure the steering angle.

STANDARD VALUE SPECIFICATION

Inner wheel	38° 50' ± 1° 30' (Difference between right and left wheels must be 2°00' or less)
Outer wheel (Reference value)	32° 20'

If the measured value is not within the standard value, adjust the tie-rod ends (right and left), and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
If the measured value is not within the standard value after performing Step 3, replace the steering gear and linkage assembly. (Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .)
