CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When using a vise, place aluminum plates between the part and vise.
When using a vise, do not overtighten it.
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY
Temporarily install the 2 steering rack end sub-assembly to the steering rack.
Fill up the ball joints of the steering rack end sub-assembly with MP grease.
| *A | for LH Side |
| *B | for RH Side |
| *a | Hold |
| *b | Turn |
| *c | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
Using SST, install the steering rack end sub-assembly (LH side) to the steering rack.
Note
Rotate SST in the direction shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
When using SST (fulcrum length of 128.5 mm(5.059 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 400 mm (15.748 in.)): 78 N*m (795 kgf*cm, 58ft.*lbf)
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT LH
Install the steering rack boot LH.
Note
Make sure that the steering rack boot LH is free of rust and foreign matter.
Be careful not to damage or twist the steering rack boot.
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT RH
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure described for the LH side.
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP LH
Using SST, install a new steering rack boot clamp LH as shown in the illustration.
| Standard clearance (A) |
|---|
| 3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less |
Note
Be careful not to damage the steering rack boot.
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLAMP RH
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure described for the LH side.
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP LH
Using pliers, install the steering rack boot clip LH.
INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP RH
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure described for the LH side.
INSPECT POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY
INSTALL STEERING TURN PRESSURE TUBE (for 2WD)
Apply power steering fluid to 4 new O-rings, and install the O-rings to the steering turn pressure tubes.
| *a | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
Using a union nut wrench, install the 2 steering turn pressure tubes.
Note
Do not damage the O-rings.
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 20 mm (0.7874 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 162 mm (6.3779 in.)): 11.1 N*m (113 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf)
INSTALL STEERING TURN PRESSURE TUBE (for 4WD and Pre-Runner)
Apply power steering fluid to 3 new O-rings, and install the O-rings to the steering turn pressure tubes.
for LHD:
Using a union nut wrench, install the 2 steering turn pressure tubes.
Note
Do not damage the O-rings.
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 20 mm (0.7874 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 162 mm (6.3779 in.)): 11.1 N*m (113 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf)
| *a | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
for RHD:
Using a union nut wrench, install the 2 steering turn pressure tubes.
Note
Do not damage the O-rings.
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 20 mm (0.7874 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 162 mm (6.3779 in.)): 11.1 N*m (113 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf)
Install the 2 new gaskets and union bolt.
INSTALL TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY LH
| *1 | Rack End |
| *a | Matchmark |
Screw the lock nut and tie rod end sub-assembly LH onto the rack end until the matchmarks are aligned.
After adjusting the toe-in, tighten the lock nut.
INSTALL TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY RH
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure described for the LH side.
