July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Steering Wheel Return

  1. The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both moderate and sharp turns.
  2. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 20-30 kph (12-19 mph), the steering wheel should return at least 20° from its central position when it is released.
    NOTE: If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.
