3. Remove the extensions and reconnect the pressure
and return lines.
4. Install and connect the power steering gear. Refer
to “Rack and Pinion Assembly” in this section.
5. Start the engine and allow it to idle for 10 seconds.
6. Check the power steering fluid level. Refer to
Section 6A, Power Steering System.
STRAIGHT-AHEAD CHECK
After all the necessary operations on the steering gear
are completed (removing and installing, disassembling
and assembling), check the exact straight-ahead posi-
tion of the steering in each case.
With the vehicle on the floor, place the steering wheel
in the straight-ahead position. Mark the centerline of
both tires on the floor. Turn the steering wheel all the
way to the right and mark the new centerline of both
tires on the floor.

4. Loosen the outer tie rod adjusting nut and remove
the outer tie rod by twisting it off the inner tie rod.
Installation Notice:
After Installation, perform a front toe adjustment.
Refer to Section 2B, Wheel Alignment.
DUST BOOT
Removal and Installation Procedure
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and
wheels.
3. Remove the outer tie rod. Refer to “Outer Tie Rod”
in this section.

5. Remove the dust boot.
Installation Notice:
After Installation, perform a front toe adjustment.
Refer to Section 2B, Wheel Alignment.
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
Removal and Installation Procedure
1. Turn the steering wheel until it is horizontal. This
is the straight-ahead position. Make a mark on
the stub shaft housing that lines up with a mark
on the intermediate shaft lower universal joint.
Installation Notice:
When attaching the lower universal joint, the
marks on the intermediate shaft and on the stub
shaft should line up

8. Counterhold the pinion-side inner tie rod and re-
move the cylinder-side inner tie rod.
Installation Notice:
To prevent the inner tie rods from loosening,
use Loctite 242 (or equivalent) on both inner
tie rod connections to secure them to the rack
shaft.

the side of the housing.
9. Remove the bulkhead inner cylinder retaining ring.
Installation Notice:
Coat all the seals with power steering fluid to
ensure proper sealing.
10. Place a rag over the rack, counterhold the rack
assembly on the teeth with a wrench, and remove
the pinion-side inner tie rod.
Installation Notice:
The right and left inner tie rods are unequal in
length. Be sure to install the correct inner tie
rod on the proper side of the power steering
gear.
VALVE AND PINION ASSEMBLY
Disassembly and Assembly Procedure
1. Remove the rack and pinion steering assembly
from the vehicle. Refer to “Rack and Pinion
Assembly” in this section.

6E-2 POWER STEERING AND COLUMN
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Caution: To ensure the energy-absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
The energy-absorbing column is designed to compress
in a front-end collision to lessen the chance of driver
injury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the
column, allowing the ignition and steering operations
to be locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.
A tilt steering column uses a spherical joint to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down. This enables
the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.
Notice: Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled
easily.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IGNITION SWITCH KEYHOLE LAMP
For description and lamp replacement information, Re-
fer to Section 9B, Lighting Systems.
IGNITION KEY REMINDER
The ignition key reminder alerts the driver that the key
is still in the ignition when the driver attempts to exit
the vehicle.
An internal switch in the ignition lock cylinder supplies
battery voltage to the reminder chime module when all
of the following conditions are true:
•The key is in the ignition switch.
The ignition is OFF.
The driver’s door is open.
For information on removal and installation of the re-
minder chime module, Refer to Section 9E, Instrumen-
tation/Driver Information.
