POWER STEERING: STEERING GEAR: REASSEMBLY

REASSEMBLY

1. INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY





(a) Fill up the ball joints of the RH and LH rack ends with molybdenum disulfide lithium base grease.





(b) Using 2 SST, hold the steering rack LH side and install the rack end (for RH side).
SST: 09922-10010
Torque: 60 Nm (612 kgf-cm, 44 ft-lbf)
NOTICE:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.).
- Use SST in the correct direction as shown in the illustration.
- Securely hold the steering rack.





(c) Using 2 SST, install the rack end (for LH side).
SST: 09922-10010
Torque: 60 Nm (612 kgf-cm, 44 ft-lbf)
NOTICE:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.).
- Use SST in the correct direction as shown in the illustration.
- Securely hold the steering rack.

2. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING RACK BOOT





(a) Apply silicon grease to the inside of the small opening of the boot.
(b) Install the boot in the groove on the rack housing.
NOTE: Make sure that the boot is not twisted.

3. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT
HINT: Use the same procedures described for the No. 2 boot.

4. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP





(a) Install a new clamp to the boot.
NOTE: Do not damage the boot.

(b) While pushing SST to the rack housing, pinch the clamp so that the clearance is within specification.
SST: 09521-24010
Standard clearance:
3.0 mm (0.12 in.) or less
NOTE: Make sure that the boot is not twisted.

5. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP
HINT: Use the same procedures described for the No. 2 rack boot clamp.

6. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP
(a) Using pliers, install the 2 rack boot clips to the RH and LH rack boots.
7. INSPECT STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY





(a) Using SST, turn the pinion shaft and check that the RH and LH rack boots expand and contract smoothly, reinstall it with a new rack boot clamp.
SST: 09616-00011
If the rack boot does not expand and contract smoothly, reinstall it with a new rack boot clamp.
8. INSTALL TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY LH





(a) Screw the lock nut and tie rod end LH on the rack end unit the matchmarks are aligned and temporarily tighten the lock nut.
HINT: Fully tighten the lock nut after adjusting toe-in.

9. REMOVE TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY RH
HINT: Use the same procedures described for the LH side.
