STEERING GEAR INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. ADJUST TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. B003NAOE01

      Adjust the tie rod end sub-assembly LH and RH so that distance A is within the specified ranges.

      Standard Length (A)
      17 mm (0.6693 in.) or less

      CAUTION:

      Make sure to tighten the nut in the alignment adjustment procedure.

      Note

      Make sure that the boots are not twisted.

      Tech Tips


      • The values listed above are reference values.

      • The toe-in is adjusted in another step.

  2. INSTALL POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the power steering link assembly with the 2 bolts, 2 washers and 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      130 N*m  { 1326 kgf*cm, 96 ft.*lbf }
    2. B003M54C01
      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      Using a union nut wrench, connect the steering gear outlet return tube.

      Torque:
      Specified tightening torque
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

      • When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.1811 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.0866 in.)): 21.4 N*m (218 kgf*cm, 16 ft.*lbf)

    3. Install the hose with the clip.

    4. Install the pressure feed tube assembly bracket to the power steering link assembly with the bolt.

      Torque:
      28 N*m  { 286 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }
    5. B003K3BC01
      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      Using a union nut wrench, tighten the flare nut and connect the pressure feed tube assembly.

      Torque:
      Specified tightening torque
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

  4. CONNECT NO. 2 STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Align the matchmarks on the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft sub-assembly and power steering link assembly.

    2. Install the bolt.

      Torque:
      35 N*m  { 357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf }

  5. CONNECT STEERING SLIDING YOKE


    1. B003MO3C01
      *a Matchmark
      B003OFB Install in this Direction

      Align the matchmarks on the steering sliding yoke and No. 2 steering intermediate shaft, and connect the steering sliding yoke to the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft sub-assembly.

    2. B003PWVN02

      Install the bolt labeled B.

      Torque:
      35 N*m  { 357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf }

    3. Tighten the bolt labeled A.

      Torque:
      35 N*m  { 357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf }

  6. CONNECT TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Connect the tie rod end sub-assembly LH to the front axle hub assembly with a new nut.

      Torque:
      91 N*m  { 928 kgf*cm, 67 ft.*lbf }

    2. Install a new cotter pin.

      Note

      If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut an additional 60°.

  7. CONNECT TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY RH

    Tech Tips

    Use the same procedure described for the LH side.
