REASSEMBLY
NOTICE: When installing, coat the parts indicated by arrows with silicone grease Components.

1. INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Install 2 new claw washers.
HINT: Align the claws of the claw washer with the steering rack grooves.





(b) Using SST, install the steering rack end sub-assembly (LH side).
SST: 09922-10010
Without SST - Torque: 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76ft-lbf)
Without SST - Torque: 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55ft-lbf)
NOTICE :
- Use SST 09922-10010 as shown in the illustration.
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.).
- This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
HINT: Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end sub-assembly.





(c) Using SST, install the steering rack end sub-assembly (RH side).
SST: 09922-10010
Without SST - Torque: 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76ft-lbf)
Without SST - Torque: 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55ft-lbf)
NOTICE :
- Use SST 09922-10010 as shown in the illustration.
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.).
- This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
HINT: Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end sub-assembly.





(d) Using a brass bar and a hammer, stake the 2 claw washers.
NOTICE: Avoid any impact to the steering rack.





(e) Ensure that the holes of the rack ends are not clogged with grease.
HINT: If the hole is clogged, the pressure inside the boot will change after it is assembled and the steering wheel is turned.

2. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING RACK BOOT





(a) Apply silicone grease to the inside of the small opening of the No. 2 steering rack boot.





(b) Temporarily install a new No. 2 steering rack boot clamp to the large opening of the No. 2 steering rack boot at the position shown by arrow (A).
NOTICE :
- Use a new No. 2 steering rack boot clamp.
- Do not expand the No. 2 steering rack boot clamp more than necessary for installation.
- Do not deform the No. 2 steering rack boot clamp.
- Tightening force of the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp becomes uneven if it is installed after being expanded as shown in the illustration. As a result, rust is caused by water entering from the clearance between the boot and rack housing, causing a malfunction.
- Use only the supply parts which are applicable to the vehicle to secure the boot.
HINT: After disengaging the claw of a new No. 2 steering rack boot clamp, temporarily install it from the end without expanding the clamp diameter more than necessary.

(c) Install the No. 2 rack boot to the groove on the rack housing.
NOTICE:
- Be careful not to damage or twist the boot.
- Do not damage the No. 2 steering rack boot.
- Ensure that the No. 2 steering rack boot clamp is installed before installing the No. 2 steering rack boot to the rack housing.

3. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT
HINT: Perform the same procedure as for the No. 2 steering rack boot.

4. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP





(a) Using pliers and a screwdriver, install the No. 2 steering rack boot clamp.
- Be careful not to damage the No. 2 steering rack boot.
- Do not twist the No. 2 steering rack boot.

5. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP
HINT: Perform the same procedure as for the No. 2 steering rack boot clamp.

6. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP
(a) Using pliers, install the 2 boot clips.





(b) Using SST, turn the pinion and check that the rack boots expand and contract smoothly.
SST: 09616-00011
7. INSTALL TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH





(a) Install the lock nut and the tie rod assembly LH to the steering rack end sub-assembly until the matchmarks are aligned.
HINT: After adjusting toe-in, tighten the lock nut.

8. INSTALL TIE ROD ASSEMBLY RH
HINT: Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.
