3. Ball joint axial end play

Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 111 lb) to ball stud using a
dial indicator. Measure amount of stud movement, and then
make sure that the value is within the following specified
range. Replace outer socket and inner socket if the measured
value is outside the standard.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring. Put an O-ring into a rack Teflon ring.
2. Heat rack Teflon ring to approximately 40°C (104°F) with a
dryer. Assemble it to mounting groove of rack assembly.
3. Install the Teflon ring correcting tool [SST: KV489Q0020] (A)
from tooth side of rack to fit rack Teflon ring (1) on rack. Com-
press the ring with tool.
4. Apply recommended grease to rack oil seal, and then install
rack oil seal in the following procedure. Then assemble rack
assembly to gear housing assembly.
NOTE:
Do not reuse rack oil seal.
CAUTION:

Install rack oil seal in a direction so that the lip of inner oil
seal and the lip of outer oil seal face each other.

Do not damage retainer sliding surface by rack assembly.
Replace gear housing assembly if damaged.

Do not damage gear housing assembly inner wall by rack
assembly. Gear housing assembly must be replaced if damaged because it may cause fluid
leakage.
Outer socket 0.5 mm (0.020 in) or less
Inner socket 0.2 mm (0.008 in) or less

a. Wrap an OHP sheet [approximately 70 mm (2.76 in) ×100 mm
(3.94 in)]. Around rack assembly teeth to avoid damaging rack
oil seal (inner). Install rack oil seal over sheet. Then, pull OHP
sheet along with rack oil seal until they pass rack assembly
teeth, and remove OHP sheet.
b. Insert rack oil seal (inner) into rack assembly piston (rack Teflon
ring).
c. Push retainer to adjusting screw side by hand, and move the
rack assembly inside the gear housing assembly so that the
rack oil seal (inner) can be pressed against the gear housing
assembly
d. Wrap an OHP sheet [approximately 70 mm (2.76 in) ×100 mm
(3.94 in)]. Around the edge to avoid damaging rack oil seal
(outer). Install rack oil seal over sheet. Then, pull oil seal along
with OHP sheet until they pass rack edge, and remove OHP
sheet.
e. Install end cover assembly to rack edge, and move rack oil seal
(outer) until it contacts with gear housing assembly.
5. Tighten end cover assembly to specified torque using a 45 mm
(1.77 in) open head (suitable tool).
CAUTION:
Do not damage rack assembly. Replace it if damaged
because it may cause fluid leakage.
6. Crimp gear housing assembly at one point using a punch as
shown in the figure so as to prevent end cover assembly from
getting loose after tightening end cover assembly.

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°.

16. Measure pinion rotating torque using the preload adapter [SST]
and preload gauge [SST] to make sure that the measured value
is within the standard. Readjust if the value is outside the stan-
dard. Replace steering gear assembly if the value is outside the
standard after readjusting or adjusting screw rotating torque is 5
N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb) or less.
17. Apply recommended Liquid Gasket to inner socket and turn pin-
ion fully to left with inner socket installed to gear housing assembly.
18. Set dial indicator as shown in the figure. Measure vertical move-
ment of rack assembly when pinion is turned clockwise with
torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 in-lb). Readjust adjusting
screw angle if the measured value is outside the standard.
Replace gear assembly if the measured value is still outside the
standard or adjusting screw rotating torque is 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m,
44 in-lb) or less.
19. Install large end of boot to gear housing assembly.
20. Install small end of boot to inner socket boot mounting groove.
21. Install boot clamp to boot small end.
22. Install large side of boot clamp.

Tighten large side of boot with boot clamp (stainless wire).

Wrap clamp around boot groove for two turns. Insert a flat-
bladed screwdriver in loops on both ends of wire. Twist 4 to
4.5 turns while pulling them with force of approximately 98 N
(10 kg, 22 lb).

Twist boot clamp as shown. Pay attention to relationship
between winding and twisting directions.

Twisted point of clamp is in the opposite side of adjusting
screw as shown in the figure (to prevent contact with other
parts).

Bend cut end of the wire toward rack axial as shown in the fig-
ure after twisting the wire 4 to 4.5 turns so that cut end does
not contact with boot.
CAUTION:
Keep gap from cylinder tube 5 mm (0.20 in) or more.
23. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
24. Adjust inner socket to standard length L, and then tighten lock
nut to the specified torque. Refer to PS-20, "
COMPONENTS" .
Check length of inner socket L again after tightening lock nut .
Make sure that the length is the standard.
CAUTION:
Adjust toe-in after this procedure. Length achieved after
toe-in adjustment is not necessary the above value.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceBGS0003Y
CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Make sure that belt tension is normal before starting the following procedure.
1. Connect the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST] between oil pump
discharge connector and high-pressure hose. Bleed air from the
hydraulic circuit while opening valve fully. Refer to PS-7, "
Air
Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
2. Start engine. Run engine until oil temperature reaches 50 to
80°C (122 to 176°F).
CAUTION:

Leave the valve of the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST]
fully open while starting and running engine. If engine is
started with the valve closed, the hydraulic pressure in
oil pump goes up to the relief pressure along with
unusual increase of oil temperature.

Be sure to keep hose clear of belts and other parts when engine is started.
3. Fully close the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST] valve with
engine at idle and measure the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Never keep valve closed for 10 seconds or longer.
4. Open the valve slowly after measuring. Repair oil pump if the
relief oil pressure is outside the standard. Refer to PS-31, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly (Except for QR20DE Models)" , PS-35,
"Disassembly and Assembly (QR20DE Models)" .
5. After inspection, disconnect the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST]
from hydraulic circuit, then add fluid and bleed air. Refer to PS-
7, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
