Abstract: Steering wheel lash and suspension play are checked by comparing predefined movements of the steering wheel and the road wheels. A steering wheel fixture adapted to be mounted to the steering wheel particularly facilitates the steering wheel lash determination. Quickly mountable and removable road wheel angle sensors also facilitate the method.
