'1. Wrap the splines with vinyl tape to prevent damage
to the boots.
lnstall the boots onto the driveshaft, and seat the
small end of the boots into the grooves on the drive-
shaft, lf the small ends of the boots are not seated in
the grooves, the boot length adiustment will be
rncorrect.
Remove the vinyl tape from the end of the driveshaft.
Install the spider onto the driveshaft by aligning the
mark on the spider with the mark on the end of the
driveshaft.
lnstall a new circlip into the end g.oove on the drive-
shaft. Rotate the circlip in its groove to make sure its
fullv seated.

6. Reinstall the rollers to their original positions on the
spider by aligning the marks. After installation, make
sure to hold the driveshaft pointed straight up to pre-
vent the rollers from falling off.
Pack the joint and the boot with the joint grease
included with the new boot.

Inspection
Univarsal Joint and Boots
1. Shift the transmission to Neutral.
2. Raise the vehicle off the ground, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see section 1).
3. Check the cente. support bearing for excessive play
or rattle. It the center support has excessive play or
raftle, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
No. 1 PROPET_LER SHAFT
Check the universal joint boots for damage and dete-
rioration. lt the boots are damaged or deteriorated,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Check the universal joints for excessive play or rattle.
lf the universal joints have excessive play or rattle,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Propellor Shaft Runout
6. Install a dial indicator with its needle on the center of
No, 1 or No.2 propeller shaft.
7. Turn the other propeller shaft slowly and check the
runout. Repeat this procedure for the other propeller
shaft.
No. 1 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: t.5 mm (0.06 in)
No. 2 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: 1.5 mm {0.06 inl
lf the runout on either oroDeller shaft exceeds the
service limit, replac€ the propeller shaft assembly.

Check power steering lluid level. lfthe level is excessively low checkfor leaks in the system. Add fluidto the specified level.
Air in reservoir, or check powersteering tluid level.
lf fluid level is OK, check O-ringsand seals on both ends of thepump inlet hose, and the P/Spump housing mating surlacesand drive shaft oil seal for suction leaks. Check the reservoir forcracks, Replace parts as neces-

Troubleshooting
Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering
Humming due to pulsation of fluid is normal, particularly when the wheel isturned with the vehicle stooDed.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could be thetorque converter or pump noase.
Confirm by temporarily removingthe pump belt.
Feed hose (high-pressure) touch-ing the frame.Beposition the feed hose.
Loose steering shaft connector,tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replaceparts as necessary,
Column shaft wobbling.Roplace the column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (see page 17-15).Adjust, if necessary.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steering wheel right and left with th€engine OFF is normal.
Pump noise, though not loud, from the valve body unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel to full lock in either direction. This is normal. Do not holdthe steering wheel at full lock lor more than five seconds when inspecting.
