2002 CHRYSLER CARAVAN power steering

INSPECTION
Inspect exhaust manifolds for damage or cracks
and check distortion of the cylinder head mountingsurface and exhaust crossover mounting surface with
a straightedge and thickness gauge (Fig. 134).
Manifold surface flatness limits should not exceed
1.0 mm (0.039 in.).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position exhaust manifold on cylinder head and
install bolts to center runner (cylinder #3) and initial
tighten to 2.8 N´m (25 in. lbs.) (Fig. 133)
(2) Using a new gasket, attach crossover pipe to
exhaust manifold and tighten bolts to 41 N´m (30 ft.
lbs.) (Fig. 130).
NOTE: Inspect crossover pipe fasteners for damage
from heat and corrosion. The cross-over bolts are
made of a special stainless steel alloy. If replace-
ment is required, OEM bolts are highly recom-
mended.
(3) Install the remaining manifold attaching bolts.
Tighten all bolts to 23 N´m (200 in. lbs.).
(4) Position the power steering pump support strut
and install upper bolt (Fig. 131).
(5) Install heat shield and attaching screws (Fig.
133).
(6) Install and connect upstream oxygen sensor
(Fig. 133).
(7) Raise the vehicle.
(8) Attach catalytic converter pipe to exhaust man-
ifold using new gasket and tighten bolts to 37 N´m
(27 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 132).
(9) Connect downstream oxygen sensor connector.
(10) Tighten the power steering pump support
strut lower bolt (Fig. 131).
(11) Install the belt splash shield and lower the
vehicle.
