STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE

Bent cut end of the wire toward rack axial as shown in the figure
after twisting the wire 4 to 4.5 turns so that cut end does not con-
tact with boot.

CAUTION:

Keep gap from cylinder tube 5 mm (0.20 in) or more.

19. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
20. Install low pressure piping.

21. Adjust inner socket to standard length “L”, and then tighten lock

nut to the specified torque. Check length “L” again after tighten-
ing lock nut.

CAUTION:

Adjust toe-in after this procedure. Length achieved after
toe-in adjustment is not necessary the above value.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Check if steering wheel turns smoothly when it is turned several times fully to the end of the left and right.
• Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steering wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel

turning angle. Refer to

ST-12, "Inspection"

• Check the fluid level, fluid leakage, and air bleeding hydraulic system. Refer to

ST-10, "Inspection"

• Perform 4WAS front actuator neutral position adjustment. Refer to

STC-27, "4WAS FRONT ACTUATOR

NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT : Description"

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Boot

• Check boot for cracks, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.

Rack Assembly

• Check rack for damage or wear, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.

Gear-Sub Assembly

• Check gear-sub assembly for damage or wear, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
• Rotate gear-sub assembly and check for torque variation or rattle, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.

Gear Housing Assembly

• Check gear housing assembly for damage and scratches (inner wall). Replace if there are.

Outer Socket and Inner Socket

• Check the following items and replace the component if it does not meet the standard.

• Hook a spring balance at the point shown in the figure and pull the

spring balance. Make sure that the spring balance reads the spec-
ified value when ball stud and inner socket start to move. Replace
outer socket and inner socket if they are outside the standard.

BALL JOINT ROTATING TORQUE

• Make sure that the reading is within the following specified range

using preload gauge (A) [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)]. Replace
outer socket if the reading is outside the specified value.

BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY

• Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) to ball stud. Using a

dial gauge, measure amount of stud movement, and then make
sure that the value is within the following specified range. Replace
outer socket (1) and inner socket (2) if the measured value is out-
side the standard.

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
• When installing suction hoses (1), refer to the figure.

CAUTION:

• Never apply fluid to the hose (1) and tube (2).
• Insert hose securely until it contacts spool (A) of tube.
• Install clamp (3) to the hose at 3 – 8 mm (0.12 – 0.31 in) (L)

from the edge of the hose.

• When installing eye bolt (1) and copper washer (2) to oil pump (3),

refer to the figure.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse copper washer.
• Apply power steering fluid to around copper washer, then

install eye-bolt.

• Install eye-bolt with eye-joint (assembled to high pressure

hose) (B) protrusion (A) facing with pump side cutout, and
then tighten it to the specified torque after tightening by
hand. Refer to
