      Torque:
      without SST
      105 N*m  { 1071 kgf*cm, 77 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      77 N*m  { 784 kgf*cm, 57 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Rotate SST in the direction shown in the illustration.

      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 400 mm (15.7 in.).

    4. Using SST and a wrench, install the steering rack end (LH side) to the steering rack.
