      SST
      09922-10010
      Torque:
      Without SST
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
      With SST
      76 N*m  { 775 kgf*cm, 56 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (1.13 ft.).

      • This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

  2. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT


    1. A0161AK

      Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to the inside of the small opening of the No. 1 steering rack boot (LH side).

    2. A0162ZGE08

      Temporarily install a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp to the large opening of the No. 1 steering rack boot (LH side) at the position shown by the arrow (A).

      Note


      • Use a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp.

      • Do not expand the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp more than necessary for installation.

      • Do not deform the No. 1 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 will be caused by water entering from the clearance between the No. 1 steering rack boot and rack housing, causing a malfunction.

      • Use only the supply parts which are applicable to the vehicle to secure the No. 1 steering rack boot.

      Tech Tips

      After disengaging the claw of a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp, temporarily install it from the end without expanding the clamp more than necessary.
