When holding the steering gear in a vice, secure 
its mounting positions. If it is secured in any 
other place, the gear housing may become 
deformed or damaged.

AC000996 AC

MB991006

Using special tool preload socket (MB991006), rotate 
the pinion gear at the rate of one rotation in approxi-
mately 4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion 
torque.

Standard value: 0.6 

− 1.7 N⋅m

[Torque fluctuation: 0.4 N

⋅m or less]

NOTE: When measuring, remove the bellows from 
the rack housing. Measure the pinion torque through 
the whole stroke of the rack.
If the measured value is not within the standard 
range, first adjust the rack support cover, and then 
check the total pinion torque again.
If the total pinion torque cannot be adjusted to within 
the standard range by adjusting the rack support 
cover, check the rack support cover, rack support 
spring, rack support and replace any parts if neces-
sary.

TIE ROD END BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK
