Steering Angle Check

2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor LS, AWDSECTION Steering Angle Check
CAUTION: On vehicles with ASC, if the steering angle is adjusted, always carry out steering wheel sensor calibration (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ). This is necessary because the TCL/ASC-ECU should update the steering neutral point.
  1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.

    Standard value:

  2. If the steering angle is not within the standard value, adjust the toe as follows.

    Standard value: 0 +/- 3 mm (0 +/- 0.12 inch) 

    1. Loosen the jam nut, and unclip the bellows.
    2. Adjust the toe by turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).
      NOTE: The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
    3. Tighten the jam nut to the specified torque, and tighten the bellows by the clip.

      Tightening torque: 52 +/- 2 N.m (38 +/- 2 ft-lb)
