7. Install pinion assembly to gear housing assembly.
CAUTION:
In order to protect rack oil seal from any damage, insert pinion assembly out straightly.
8. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring, and the install O-ring to rear cover.
9. Using a rear cover wrench [SST: KV489Q0030] (A), install rear
cover to gear housing assembly.
10. Decide on the neutral position for the rack.
11. Install rear cover cap to pinion assembly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the projection of rear cover cap is aligned
with the marking position of gear housing assembly.
12. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2
turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly measured
before disassembling.
13. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that
the parts can fit with each other.
14. Measure pinion rotating torque within ±180° of neutral position
of the rack assembly using the preload gauge [SST] and preload
adapter [SST]. Stop the gear at the point where highest torque is
read.
15. Loosen adjusting screw and retighten to 5.4 N·m (0.55 kg-m, 48
in-lb), and then loosen by 20 to 40°.

On-Vehicle Inspection BES00040
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each components and component status
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT END PLAY
Measure axial end play by placing an iron pry bar or a similar item between suspension arm and axle housing
prying up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage installation position by applying excessive
force.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage, and breakage of installation positions.
Wheel Alignment InspectionBES00041
DESCRIPTION
Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
1. Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-3, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Check wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-3, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Check suspension arm ball joint axial end play. Refer to RSU-11, "
Ball Joint Inspection" .
5. Check shock absorber operation.
6. Check each mounting point of axle housing and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check each link, arm, and member for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Check vehicle height (posture).
CAMBER INSPECTION

Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable
alignment gauge.

Adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

If camber is not within the specification, adjust by turning the
adjusting bolt of front lower link.
NOTE:
After adjusting camber, be sure to check toe-in.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Camber : Refer to RSU-18, "

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY

TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of the specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn
rear suspension parts.
WARNING:

Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.

Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before push-
ing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle
height posture.
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
start this procedure again from the beginning. Do not push the
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).
7. If toe-in is not within the specification, adjust by turning the
adjusting bolt of rear lower link.
CAUTION:
When adjusting toe-in, set the both sides to the same val-
ues.

STARTING SYSTEM

ASSEMBLY
Apply high-temperature grease to lubricate the bearing, gears and frictional surface when assembling the
starter.
Carefully observe the following instructions.
Pinion Protrusion Length Adjustment
CLEARANCE (VQ23DE AND VQ35DE MODELS)

With pinion driven out by magnetic switch, push pinion back to
remove slack and measure clearance “L” between the front
edge of the pinion and the pinion stopper.

Not in the specified value... Adjust by adjusting plate.
MOVEMENT (QR20DE MODELS)

Compare movement “L” in height of pinion when it is pushed out
with magnetic switch energized and when it is pulled out by
hand until it touches stopper.

Not in the specified value... Adjust by adjusting plate.Clearance “L” : Refer to SDS. SC-38, "
