D: ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Use only SUBARU genuine grease for gearbox.
Specified grease for gearbox:
VALIANT GREASE M2 (Part No. 003608001)
1) Apply grease to teeth of rack so that grease applied is
about as high as teeth, and also apply a thin film of grease
to sliding portion of rack shaft.
CAUTION:

When moving rack to stroke end without tie-rod
attached, prevent shocks from being applied at the
end.

Do not apply grease to threaded portion at end of
rack shaft.

Move rack shaft to stroke end two or three times to
squeeze grease which accumulates on both ends.
Remove grease to prevent it from choking air passage
hole.
2) Apply grease to sleeve insertion hole.
3) Apply grease to dust seal insertion hole.
CAUTION:
Apply clean grease with clean hands. If material hav-
ing a sharp edge is used for applying grease, oil seal
at the inside might be damaged.

1) Clean all parts and tools before reassembling.
2) Move rack shaft fully to the left and right two or three
times to lubricate shaft ends with grease. Remove excess
grease, being careful not to block air vent hole.
CAUTION:

When rack is fully moved to its stroke ends with tie-
rod removed, be careful not to bump rack ends.

Ensure that screw located at end of rack shaft is free
from grease.
3) Apply grease to bore wall which accommodates sleeve.
CAUTION:
Ensure that hands are clean when applying grease.

A: CHECKING OIL LEAKING POINTS
1. OIL LEAKING POINTS
1) If leak point is other than a, b, c, or d, perform check
step 5) in [W5A2] before dismounting gearbox from
vehicle. If gearbox is dismounted without confirming where
the leak is, it must be mounted again to locate the leak
point.
2) Even if the location of the leak can be easily found by
observing the leaking condition, it is necessary to thor-
oughly remove the oil from the suspected portion and turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock about 30 to 40 times
with engine running, then make comparison of the sus-
pected portion between immediately after and several
hours after this operation.
3) Before starting oil leak repair work, be sure to clean the
gearbox, hoses, pipes, and surrounding parts. After com-
pleting repair work, clean these areas again.
