Adjustment
Gasoline engine
1. Loosen the lock nut on the idler pulley.
2. Turn the adjust bolt on the idler pulley until the cor-
rect tension is obtained.
3. Tighten the lock nut and recheck the tension.
Tightening torque:
49—59 Nm (5—6 m-kg, 36—43 ft-lb)
Diesel engine
1. Loosen the vacuum pump bolt ©and (B).
2. Lever the vacuum pump outward and apply ten-
sion to the belt.
3. Tighten the adjust bolt (|).

POWER STEERING PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the high-pressure hose of the gear
housing side, and attach the SST.
Tightening torque:
39—49 N-m (4.0—5.0 m-kg, 29—36 ft-lb)
2. Bleed air from the system.
3. Open the gauge valve fully, then start the engine
and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to
raise the fluid temperature to 50—60°C
(122—140°F)
4. To measure the fluid pressure generated by the
oil pump, close the gauge valve completely and
increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500 rpm.
If the fluid pressure is low, replace the oil pump
assembly.
Warning
If the valve is left closed for more than 15 sec-
onds, the fluid temperature will increase ex-
cessively and adversely affect the oil pump.

Rear 7,112—7,848 kPa
(72.5—80.0 kg/cm2, 1,031—1,138 psi)
To measure the fluid pressure generated at the
gear housing, first open the gauge valve complete-
ly, increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500
rpm, and then turn the steering wheel fully to the
left and right.
Warning
If the steering wheel is kept in the fully turned
position for more than 15 seconds, the fluid
temperature will rise excessively.

ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE
TRANSFER SHAFT
If the steering angle transfter shaft is disconnected
from the front or rear steering gear or after adjusting
the wheel alignement, or if the rear steering angle is
not correct, adjust the rear turning angle as described
below.
Warning
Improper installation of the 4WS steering
transfer shaft may affect control of the vehi-
cle and result in the risk of an accident or per-
sonal injury.
1. Raise the vehicle on a lift or safety stands.
2. Remove cover B and joint bolt A.
3. Slide the shaft out of the joint.
4. Remove the plug from the rear steering gear. Sight
through the hole and turn the steering angle input
shaft to align the notch in the input shaft with the
center of hole.
5. Remove the set bolt attached to the rear steering
gear, and install it in the steering gear to set the
input shaft.
Tightening torque:
4.9—7.8 N-m (50—80 cm-kg, 43—69 in-lb)
86U10X-314
Note
After the input shaft is set, manually turn the rear
joint and chack that the shaft does not move.
