Steering rack adjustment in Emek HaMaayanot

Steering rack adjustment

It is required to adjust the steering rack in case of wear or deformation of the steering system parts, which can be indicated by a knocking sound when turning the steering wheel and a backlash is detected in the steering wheel. To adjust this component, turn the nut of the adjusting bolt with a special wrench, periodically checking with a backlash meter whether it is still necessary to tighten or loosen the tension. If the steering wheel turns freely, without knocking and backlash, then the adjustment was successful.
