1. Remove the steering gear from the car (see «Removal and installation of the steering mechanism»).
2. Set the rail to the middle position, which is determined by the size (87±0,25) mm from the pinion axis to the rack end. Using a special tool, load the rail with a force P = (500±20) H, or (51±2) kgf, at a distance of 84 mm from the pinion axis in the direction of the rack stop.
3. The maximum allowable gap between stop and nut is 0.2 mm. The maximum allowable movement X of the rail, measured through the relative movement of the pressure punch 1, should not exceed 0.16 mm.
