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

Checking Stationary Steering Effort

  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.
  2. Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the idle RPM, pull the scale and read it as soon as the tires begin to turn.

    Standard value:  29.4 N (3.0 kgf, 6.6 lb.f) MAX.
