Steering Wheel Rotational Play Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn the front wheels to the straight ahead position.
- Measure how far you can turn the steering wheel left and right without moving the front wheels.
- If the play is within the limit, the steering gearbox and the linkage are OK.
- If the play exceeds the limit, adjust the rack guide (see RACK GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
). If the play is still excessive after rack guide adjustment, inspect the steering linkage and steering gearbox (see STEERING LINKAGE AND GEARBOX INSPECTION
).
Rotational play: 0-10 mm (0-0.39 in.)
