Steering Angle Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: After adjusting the steering angle, perform calibration to make the 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 WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT .)

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

Standard value:

ITEM SPECIFICATIONS

Item	Specifications
Inside wheel	33°10' ± 1°30'
Outside wheel (reference value)	28°10'

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 POWER STEERING GEAR BOX AND LINKAGE .)
