FIELD: machine building.
SUBSTANCE: controlled wheels are set in direction of motion "direct" in procedure for diagnosis of steering control. At turning a steering wheel first into one side, than to another there is controlled a beginning moment of controlled wheels starting; simultaneously, there is determined summary play of a steering wheel. A mark in form of a point is made on the steering wheel in centre of its rim rotation and on a dashboard so, that its centre is in vertical plane parallel to lengthwise axis of symmetry of a vehicle and passing through the rotation centre of the rim of the steering wheel. When the steering wheel is turned first to one side, position of its rim is fixed at the moment of beginning of controlled wheels starting by means of making a mark on the rim of the steering wheel relative to marks on the dashboard and on the steering wheel in the said centre. When the steering wheel is turned to another side the mark is also made on the rim relative to the same marks at the moment of beginning of controlled wheels starting. Each mark is made on the rim so, that its centre is in the same vertical plane parallel to lengthwise axis of symmetry of a vehicle and passing through centre of the mark on a dashboard. There is measured length of chord formed between marks on the rim of the steering wheel and diametre of the rim of the steering wheel. Summary play of the steering wheel is calculated on base of obtained data.
EFFECT: reduced labour input and upgraded accuracy for determination of summary play in steering control.
