Kia Stinger CK: Steering System

Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.

Measure the distance that the steering wheel can be turned with out moving the front wheels.

If the play exceeds standard value, inspect the steering column, shaft, and linkages.

Position the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.

Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to warm up the power steering fluid.

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.

If the measured value exceeds standard value, inspect the steering gear box.
