CAUTION:

• Do not exert any load or impact in the axial direction immediately before or after column removal.

• After installation, check for smooth steering wheel rotation, without any catches or noise.

• Replace the column if it is depleted of grease, worn, damaged, or if any scratches or coating separa-

tion is present on the shaft seal area.

• The lower nut on the upper joint may not be reused.

• During lower joint detachment, insert a tool into the yoke groove to prevent gouging damage.

CAUTION:

• Secure power steering gear assembly with a vise, using copper plates or something similar to pre-

vent it from being damaged. Do not grip cylinder with a vise.

• Before performing disassembly, clean power steering gear assembly with kerosene. Be careful not

to bring any kerosene into contact with the discharge and return port connectors.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove cylinder tubes from power steering gear housing assembly.
2. Loosen lock nuts of steering outer sockets, and remove steering outer sockets.
3. Remove boot clamps of the small diameter side and the large diameter side, then remove boot.

CAUTION:

When removing boots, be careful not to damage steering inner socket and power steering gear

housing assembly. If they are damaged, change them to avoid power steering fluid leaks.

4. Remove inner sockets.

Power steering Gear Housing Assembly

Check power steering gear housing assembly for dents, cracks or damage. Replace as an assembly if neces-

sary.

Steering Outer Socket and Steering Inner Socket

SWING TORQUE

• Measure the swing torque, using Tool. When ball stud and steering inner socket start moving the measured

value must be within the specification. If the reading is outside the specification, replace the socket. Refer to

ST-31, "Steering Outer Socket and Steering Inner Socket"

.

ROTATING TORQUE

• Measure the rotating torque, using Tool. If the value is outside the

specification, replace the steering outer sockets.

AXIAL END PLAY

• Apply a load of 490 N (50 kg-f, 110 lb-f) to the ball stud axially. Use

a dial gauge to measure the amount of the movement that the stud

makes. If the value is outside the specification, replace the sock-

ets.

ASSEMBLY

1. Install the steering inner sockets.
2. Install the large-diameter side of the boots to the power steering

gear housing assembly.

3. Install the small-diameter side of the boots to the groove of the

steering inner sockets.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the large-diameter boot clamps.

5. Crimp the large-diameter boot clamps, using Tool.

6. Install the cylinder tubes to the power steering gear housing

assembly.

7. Install the lock nuts and steering outer sockets to the steering

inner sockets.

8. Thread the steering outer sockets onto the steering inner sock-

ets to the specified length (L), then tighten the lock nuts to the

specification. Reconfirm that the tie-rod length (L) is within spec-

ification.
