      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Make sure the O-ring is not pinched.

  2. ADJUST PRELOAD


    1. Clean and degrease the threaded areas of the rack guide spring cap and rack housing.

    2. Apply FIPG material to the rack guide spring cap.

    3. Using a m hexagon wrench, install the rack guide spring and rack guide spring cap to the rack housing.

      Tech Tips

      After fully tightening the rack guide spring cap, loosen it to align the matchmarks.

    4. A001CNJE01

      Using SST, rotate the pinion back and forth so that it turns properly, and then measure the preload (turning torque).

      Tech Tips


      • Due to differences in the individual parts, the feeling of the steering handling may not be the same as it was before removal.

      • The preload should be within 0.3 N*m of the average value measured before removal.

      Reference
      0.9 to 2.1 N*m (10 to 21 kgf*cm, 8 to 18 in.*lbf)

    5. Clean and degrease the rack guide spring cap nut.

  5. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT


    1. A001A2Q

      Apply silicon grease to the inside of the smaller diameter of the No. 1 steering rack boot.

      Text in Illustration
      *a Installing from side
      *b Installing perpendicularly
      *c Do not expand steering rack boot clamp

      for Type A:


      1. Temporarily install a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp to the larger diameter side of the No. 1 steering rack boot as shown by the arrow (A) in the illustration.

        Note


        • Make sure to use a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp.

        • Do not excessively expand the diameter of the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp when installing it.

        • Do not deform the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp.

        • If the diameter of the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp is expanded and then installed as shown in the illustration, the tightening torque will become uneven. As a result, rust may form due to water or other foreign matter entering between the boot and rack housing, causing a malfunction to occur.

        • Do not secure the boot with any objects other than the supply parts appropriate for the vehicle.

        Tech Tips

        Temporarily install a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp, from which the claw has been removed, to the side of the No. 1 steering rack boot diameter.

      2. Install the No. 1 steering rack boot to the groove on the rack housing.

        Note


        • Do not twist the No. 1 steering rack boot when installing it.

        • Do not damage the No. 1 steering rack boot.

        • Check that there is no foreign matter or rust.

        • When the No. 1 steering rack boot is damaged, replace the No. 1 steering rack boot with a new one.

        • Do not install the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp after installing the No. 1 steering rack boot to the rack housing.

        Tech Tips

        Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

    3. for Type B:

      Install the No. 1 steering rack boot to the groove on the rack housing.
