19. Prevent adjusting screw from turning, and tighten lock nut to
specified torque.

20. Measure the rotational torque of the pinion gear to confirm that
it is within the specified torque range. If it is out of the speci-
fied range, readjust it. If it is still out of specifications after
readjustment, replace the power steering gear.
Pinion rotational torque: Near neutral position (within
±
100°)
Average value A: 0.8 - 1.2 N·m (0.08 - 0.13 kg-m, 7 -
11 in-lb)
Maximum fluctuation value B: Less than 0.4 N·m
(0.04 kg-m, 3 in-lb)
Other than the above
Maximum value C: Less than 1.9 N·m (0.19 kg-m, 16
in-lb)
Maximum fluctuation value D: Less than 0.6 N·m
(0.06 kg-m, 5 in-lb)

21. Rotate the pinion counterclockwise as far as it will go.
22. Set the dial gauge as shown in the figure at left. Rotate the
pinion to 5 N·m (0.5 kg-m, 43 in-lb), then measure the amount
of rack vertical movement using the dial gauge. Make sure that
the measured value is within the specifications. If it is out of
specifications, readjust it. If it is still out of specifications after
readjustment, replace the power steering gear.
