INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL PS GEAR ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the PS gear assembly from the LH of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Do not damage the turn pressure tubes.
(b) Install the 2 gear assembly set bolts and nuts.
Torque: 181 N´m (1,850 kgf´cm, 134 ft´lbf)
HINT:
Lift up the stabilizer bar and install the bolts.
2. INSTALL NO. 1 FUEL TUBE PROTECTOR
Install the No. 1 fuel tube protector with 2 bolts and nut.
3. CONNECT STABILIZER BAR
Connect the stabilizer bar with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 19 N´m (190 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
4. CONNECT PRESSURE FEED AND RETURN TUBES
(a) Coat 2 new O-rings with power steering fluid and install
them to the pressure feed and return tubes.
(b) Using SST, connect the pressure feed and return tubes.
SST 09023-38400
Torque: 28 N´m (290 kgf´cm, 21 ft´lbf)
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm
(11.81 in.).
This torque value is effective in case that SST is parallel
to a torque wrench.
5. CONNECT CLAMP PLATE
Connect the clamp plate with nut.
Torque: 10 N´m (100 kgf´cm, 7 ft´lbf)
6. CONNECT INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY
(See page SR-22)
7. CONNECT RH AND LH TIE ROD ENDS
(See page SA-13)
8. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
HINT:
Do it with the front of the vehicle jacked up.
9. CENTER SPIRAL CABLE (See page SR-22)
10. INSTALL STEERING WHEEL
(a) Align the matchmarks on the steering wheel and steering
column main shaft.
(b) Temporarily tighten the steering wheel set nut.
(c) Connect the connector.

(c) Using a brass bar and hammer, stake the claw washer.
NOTICE:
Avoid any impact on the steering rack.
(d) Employ the same manner described above to the other
side.
18. INSTALL RH AND LH RACK BOOTS, CLAMPS AND
CLIPS
(a) Ensure that the steering rack hole is not clogged with
grease.
HINT:
If the hole is clogged, the pressure inside the rack boot will
change after it is assembled and the steering wheel is turned.
(b) Install the rack boot, clip and a new clamp.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage or twist the rack boot.
(c) Using SST, tighten the clamp as shown in the illustration.
SST 09521-24010
(d) Employ the same manner described above to the other
side.
19. INSTALL RH AND LH TIE ROD ENDS AND LOCK NUTS
(a) Screw the lock nut and tie rod end onto the rack end until
the matchmarks are aligned.
(b) After adjusting toe-in, torque the lock nut (See page
SA-4).
Torque: 74 N´m (750 kgf´cm, 54 ft´lbf)
(c) Employ the same manner described above to the other
side.

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
(a) Stop the vehicle and face the tires straight ahead.
(b) Rock the steering wheel gently up and down with a finger
lightly, check the steering wheel freeplay.
Maximum freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR-12).
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
Steering effort (Reference)
5.9 N´m (60 kgf´cm, 52 in.´lbf)
HINT:
Take the tire type, pressure and contact surface into consider-
ation before making your diagnosis.
(e) Torque the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 50 N´m (510 kgf´cm, 37 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the steering wheel pad (See page SR-22).
