Deflection Method: Inspection
- Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) and measure the deflection between the power steering pump pulley (A) and the crankshaft pulley (B).
Deflection:
Used Belt: 13.0-16.5 mm (0.51-0.65 in.)
New Belt: 8.5-11.0 mm (0.33-0.45 in.)
- If you installed a new belt, run the engine for 5 minutes, then readjust the belt to the used belt specifications.
Adjustment
- Loosen the power steering pump mounting nut (A) and bolt (B).
- Turn the adjusting nut (C) to get the proper belt tension, then retighten the mounting nut and bolt.
- Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times, then stop the engine and recheck the tension of the belt.
