The manual says to set the peg thrust adjustment so it takes 12 inch pounds at the rim of the steering wheel to over come the “high spot” or resistance.<br>I have always heard of ‘inch pounds’ as a measure of torque. If so, would it not be measured from the center of the steering wheel?<br>Lacking a inch pound torque wrench my plan was to hang a one lbs weight 12 inches from the center of the wheel and make the adjustment until the weight can over come the resistance and falls.<br>Is this what you think the author meant?<br>Bob Nogueira<br></blockquote></pre></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
