2. OIL LEAK CHECK PROCEDURE AND
REPLACEMENT PARTS
NOTE:
Parts requiring replacement are described in the smallest
unit of spare parts including damaged parts and spare
parts damaged. In actual disassembly work, accidental
damage as well as inevitable damage to some related
parts must be taken into account, and spare parts for them
must also be prepared. However, it is essential to pinpoint
the cause of trouble, and limit the number of replacement
parts as much as possible.
1) Leakage from“a”
The oil seal is damaged. Replace valve assembly with a
new one.
2) Leakage from“b”
The torsion bar O-ring is damaged. Replace valve assem-
bly with a new one.
3) Leakage from“c”
The oil seal is damaged. Replace valve assembly with a
new one.
4) Leakage from“d”
The pipe is damaged. Replace the faulty pipe or O-ring.
5) If leak is other than a, b, c, or d, and if oil is leaking from
the gearbox, move the right and left boots toward tie-rod
end side, respectively, with the gearbox mounted to the
vehicle, and remove oil from the surrounding portions.
Then, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 30 to 40
times with the engine running, then make comparison of
the leaked portion immediately after and several hours
after this operation.
6) Leakage from“e”
The cylinder seal is damaged. Replace rack bush with a
new one.
7) Leakage from“f”
There are two possible causes. Take following step first.
Remove the pipe assembly B from the valve housing, and
close the circuit with ST.
ST 926420000 PLUG
Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 30 to 40 times
with the engine running, then make comparison of the
leaked portion between immediately after and several
hours after this operation.
CAUTION:

If leakage from“f”is noted again:
The oil seal of pinion and valve assembly is damaged.
Replace pinion and valve assembly with a new one. Or
replace the oil seal and the parts that are damaged
during disassembly with new ones.

If oil stops leaking from“f”:
The oil seal of rack housing is damaged.
Replace the oil seal and the parts that are damaged
during disassembly with new ones.

E: ASSEMBLY
1) Reassembly precautions
(1) Whenever O-rings, oil seals, and snap rings are
removed, they must be replaced with new ones.
(2) Thoroughly wash parts and allow to dry. They must
be kept free from cleaning oil and dust.
(3) Reassembly procedure must be performed in clean
place. Ensure that parts are kept away from waste
threads or other dust particles.
(4) Cleaning oil tends to stay inside the front casing.
Remove it completely by blowing compressed air.
(5) Ensure that parts are free from rust. (Use specified
hydraulic oil for rust prevention after cleaning and dry-
ing.)
(6) Reverse the sequence of disassembly procedures.
2) Shaft
(1) Apply grease to oil seal and inner surface of front
casing (at bearing location).
CAUTION:
Make sure that the front body internal surfaces are free
from damage.
