8. CHECK PRESSURE READING WITH STEERING
WHEEL TURNED TO FULL LOCK
Be sure the pressure gauge valve is fully opened and the
engine idling.
Minimum pressure:
(VZV series) 75 kg/cm
2 (1,067 psi, 7,355 kPa)
(Others) 65 kg/cm
2 (924 psi, 6,374 kPa)
NOTICE:
wDo not maintain lock position for more than 10
seconds.
wDo not let the fluid temperature become too high.
If pressure is tow, the gear housing has an internal leak
and must be repaired or replaced.
9. MEASURE STEERING EFFORT
Center the steering wheel and run the engine at idle.
Using a torque meter, measure the steering effort in both
directions.
Maximum steering effort: 70 kg±cm (61 in.±Ib, 6.9
N±m)
If steering effort is excessive, repair the power steering
unit.
HINT: Be sure to consider the tire type, pressure and con-
tact surface before making your diagnosis.

13. INSTALL RACK GUIDE SPRING CAP LOCK NUT
(a) Apply sealant to 2 or 3 threads of the lock nut.
Sealant: Part No. 08833±00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or equivalent
(b) Using SST, install and torque the lock nut.
SST 09612±24014 (09612±10022,09617±24020)
Torque: 570 kg±cm (41 ft±Ib, 56 N±m)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 340
mm (13.39 in.).
(c) Recheck the total preload.
14. INSTALL DUST COVER
15. INSTALL CLAW WASHERS AND RACK ENDS
(a) Install a new claw washer.
(b) Using SST, install and torque the rack ends.
SST 09612±10093 (09628±10020)
09612±24014 (09617±24011)
Torque: 730 kg±cm (53 ft±11b, 72 N±m)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 340
mm (13.39 in.).
(c) Using a brass bar and hammer, stake the claw washer.
16. INSTALL RACK BOOTS, CLAMPS AND CLIPS
(a) Insure that the tube hole is not clogged with grease.
HINT: If the tube hole is clogged, the pressure inside the
boot will change after it is assembled and the steering
wheel turned.
(b) Install the boots.
HINT: be careful not to damage or twist the boots.
(e) Install the clamps.
(d) Install the clips with the ends facing outward.
