PROCEDURE
INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY
| *a | Hold |
| *b | Turn |
| *c | Length of SST 129.5 mm (5.10 in.) |
| *d | Length of Torque Wrench 380 mm (1.25 ft.) |
| *e | 34 mm (1.34 in.) |
Using 2 SST, install the steering rack end sub-assembly (RH side).
Note
This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
The "with SST" torque value is effective when using SST with a fulcrum length of 129.5 mm (5.10 in.).
The "with SST" torque value is effective when using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 380 mm (1.25 ft.).
If using a torque wrench with a different length, or connecting the torque wrench and SST at an angle, refer to the alternate torque values.
Tech Tips
Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end sub-assembly.

| *b | Turn |
| *c | Length of SST 129.5 mm (5.10 in.) |
| *d | Length of Torque Wrench 380 mm (1.25 ft.) |
| *e | 34 mm (1.34 in.) |
Using 2 SST, install the steering rack end sub-assembly (LH side).
Note
This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
The "with SST" torque value is effective when using SST with a fulcrum length of 129.5 mm (5.10 in.).
The "with SST" torque value is effective when using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 380 mm (1.25 ft.).

Tech Tips
Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end sub-assembly.
INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT
|
Lithium Soap Base Glycol Grease |
Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to the inside of the small opening of the No. 1 steering rack boot.
for Type A:
| *a | Correct |
| *b | Incorrect |
Temporarily install a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp to the large opening of the No. 1 steering rack boot at the position shown by the arrow (A).
Note
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.
Use only the supply parts which are applicable to the vehicle to secure the No. 1 steering rack boot.
The 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 No. 1 steering rack boot and rack housing, causing a malfunction.
Tech Tips
After disengaging the claw of a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp, temporarily install the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp from the end without expanding the clamp diameter more than necessary.
Install the No. 1 steering rack boot to the groove on the rack housing.
Note
Be careful not to damage or twist the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Do not damage the No. 1 steering rack boot.
for Type B:
Install the No. 1 steering rack boot (LH side) to the groove on the rack housing.
Note
Be careful not to damage or twist the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Make sure that the boot is free of rust and foreign matter.
Install the RH side No. 1 steering rack boot by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP
for Type A:
| *a | Clamp Protrusion Installation Area |
|
Upward |
|
Front of Vehicle |
Using pliers and a screwdriver, tighten the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp.
Note
Be careful not to damage or twist the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Do not damage the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Tech Tips
Make sure that the protrusion of the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp is positioned within the range shown in the illustration.
Tighten the RH side No. 1 steering rack boot clamp by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
for Type B:
Temporarily install a new No. 1 steering rack boot clamp (LH side) to the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Note
Do not damage the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Tech Tips
Make sure that the protrusion of the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp is positioned within the range shown in the illustration.
| *a | Clamp Protrusion Installation Area |
|
Upward |
|
Front of Vehicle |
Using SST, install the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp (LH side) as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not pinch the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp excessively.
Be careful not to damage or twist the No. 1 steering rack boot.
Remove SST and measure the clearance of the No. 1 steering rack boot clamp (LH side).
| Clearance |
|---|
| 2.5 to 4.0 mm (0.0984 to 0.157 in.) |
Install the RH side No. 1 steering rack boot clamp by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP
| *a | Clip Protrusion Installation Area |
|
Upward |
|
Front of Vehicle |
Using pliers, install the 2 steering rack boot clips.
Tech Tips
Make sure that the claws of the clip are facing in the direction that the vehicle travels.
Using SST, turn the pinion shaft and check that the No. 1 steering rack boots expand and contract smoothly.
Tighten the RH side steering rack boot clip by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
INSTALL TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH
| *a | Matchmark |
Install the lock nut and tie rod assembly LH to the steering rack end sub-assembly until the matchmarks are aligned.
Tech Tips
After adjusting toe-in, tighten the lock nut.
INSTALL TIE ROD ASSEMBLY RH
Tech Tips
Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.
INSTALL WIRE HARNESS CLAMP BRACKET
Install the 3 wire harness clamp brackets with the 3 bolts.
Engage the claw to install the wire harness connector.
