CAUTION

When holding the steering gear box assembly in a vice, 
secure its mounting positions. If it is secured in any other 
place, the gear housing may become deformed or dam-
aged.
Using special tool MB991006, rotate the pinion gear at the rate 
of one rotation in approximately 4 to 6 seconds to check the 
total pinion torque.

Standard value: 0.6 

 1.7 Nm (5.3  15.0 in-lb)

[Change in torque: 0.4 N

m (3.5 in-lb) or less]

NOTE: When measuring, remove the bellows from the rack 
housing.
NOTE: Measure the pinion torque through the whole stroke of 
the rack.                                                                                                          
NOTE: If the measured value is not within the standard range, 
first adjust the rack support cover, and then check the total pin-
ion torque again.                                   
NOTE: 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 necessary.

TIE ROD SWING RESISTANCE CHECK

1. Using a spring balance, give 10 hard swings to the tie rod.
2. Measure the tie rod swing resistance with a spring balance.

Standard value: 11 

 35 N (35.4  82.7 lb) [1.4  4.9 N

(12.4 

 43.4 in-lb)]

3. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace 

tie rod.

4. If the measured value is below the standard value, the tie 

rod can be re-used if it swings smoothly without excessive 
play.

TIE ROD END BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK

1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing it 

with your finger.

2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the tie rod 

end. (Refer to 

P.37A-27

.)

NOTE: Cracks or damage of the dust cover may damage 
the ball joint.
