Start the engine.
Note. Do this check for no longer than 5 seconds, otherwise the hydraulic pump may be damaged.
Turn the steering wheel all the way and hold it for a while in this position. In this case, the pressure rises to the highest possible value.
Check the following items for leaks:
- gear o-ring on steering valve body;
- all hose connections;
- gear rack seals.
Turn the steering wheel all the way to the other side, hold for a while in this position and repeat the test.
Replace the covers and secure them with clamps.
Note. If there is oil in the steering gear housing and/or protective covers, replace the steering gear.
