STEERING GEAR TOTAL PINION
TORQUE CHECK

CAUTION

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.

MB991006

1. Using special tool preload socket (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:

Total rotational torque: 0.7

− 1.3 N⋅m

Torque fluctuation: 0.7 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.

2. If not within the specification, replace the steering

gear and linkage assembly (Refer to
