PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A00228YC01
      *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).

      SST
      09922-10010
      Torque:
      without SST [Torque (N*m(kgf*cm, ft.*lbf))]
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
      with SST [Reading of torque wrench (N*m(kgf*cm, ft.*lbf))]
      76.82 N*m  { 783 kgf*cm, 57 ft.*lbf }

      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.

  2. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT


    1. A0020WPC06
      B003XUN 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.

    2. for Type A:


      1. A0023A4C01
        *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.

      2. 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.

    3. for Type B:


      1. 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.

    4. Install the RH side No. 1 steering rack boot by using the same procedure as for the LH side.

  3. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP

        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.

      2. Tighten the RH side No. 1 steering rack boot clamp by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
