STEERING ASSEMBLY

Power steering box pusher
When an excessive rack clearance,
followed by clattering in the steering box is
occurring, before replacing the steering box,
the pusher with rack is to be adjusted. 1. Noise (clattering) identification.
Lift the vehicle by means of a two-column
elevator; On the pusher side:
- dismount the bellows attachment clip
on the steering box casing;
- push the bellow towards the steering
rod; - hold by hand the rack rod and check
the transversal clearance (up- down). A clearance followed by a noise (clatt ering)
is leading to a pusher noise, during driving. 2. Adjustment
Straigh ten th e caulking (A) of t he
adjustment nut bead (1).
By means of a 10 mm hexagonal wrench,
tighten the adjustment nut until there is no more
clearance.
AT T E N T I O N !
Do not tighten the nut more than 3
teeth.Check if the rack is freely moving all the
length. Bend the adjustment nut bead in the two
opposite slots of the steering box casing, ensuring
in this way its unscrewing.
Positio n the bellows on the steering box casing
and mount a new attachment clip.
Lower the vehicle from the elevator with
wheels on the ground.
Check, during driving if the steering wheel is
coming back to the steering center point.

Steering column
REMOU NT I NG
1. Manual steering column
Pass the cardan joint of the lower shaft
through the cowl panel whole.
2. Power steering column
Pass the cardan joint of the l ower shaft as
well as the protection bellows through the cowl
panel whole, having previously bound with a
piece of cord, both the cardan joint end and
the bellows eyes.
Cut the piece of cord, position the bellows
on the cowl panel. In both situatio ns, continue with:
In the engine compartment:
Position the cardan joint end of the steering
column lower shaft on the steering box gear
shaft. Fix in th e p o si tion marked when
dismounting, the connection screw between the
s teering column lower shaft and the steering
box gear shaft, without tightening to the required
moment.
In the passengers compartment :
Fix and tighten to the required moment the
six screws attaching the steering column to the
driving post. Return in the engine compart ment for
tight e ni ng t o t he re qui r e d m om e nt , t he
connection screw between the steering column
lower shaft and the steering box gear shaft. For the other parts, remounting is done by
performing the dismounting operations in the
reverse order. Take c are when mounting the i nstrument
panel , t o correct l y connect t he electri cal
connectors.
Characteristics of the steering column
mounting.
The straig ht in line driving position is ensured
by unique positioning of the steering wheel on
the column shaft. Replace the steeri ng wheel attachment
screw after each dismountin g.
Observe the required tightening moment for
the steering wheel attachment screw ( 4.4
daNm).

Handbrake - adjustment
The adjustment of the handbrake shall be performed with the vehicle lift on a two-column
elevator. Note :
The adjustment i s obligatory performed anytime t he brake shoes or secondary cables
have been replaced.
Release the control lever of the hand brake (release position)
Tighten the nut ( 1) until the shoes lining come lightly into contact with the brake drum.
The adjustment shall be performed so that is insuring a hand brake lever stroke of min.12
teeth until the blocking of the wheels. Lower the vehicle from the elevator.

ADJUSTMENT OF TH E BRAKE PRESSURE CONTROLLER FOR
THE PARALLEL BRAKING SYSTEM
Imposed conditions : -the vehicle on wheels
- empty trunk
- one person on board
ADJUSTMENT METHOD
Mount the flexible connection of the FR 501 device at the purging screw of one rear wheel
cylinder. Purge the manometer.
Push the brake pedal to enable reading several times the limiting pressure obtained on the
rear wheels cylinders.
Unscrew the adjustment nut ( A) to distance it from the pushing rod end (B ).
A ct upon the rod end ( B):
- by unscrewing it towards the pushing rod ( C ) in order to increase the pressure in the
rear circuit;
-by screwing it towards the pushing rod (C ) in order to decrease the pressure in the rear
circuit.
Tighten to the required moment ( 0.15 damn) the adjustment nut (A) locked with the pushing
rod end ( B) so that between the lever end a nd the lever ( D) a c learance of L = 0.5 mm to be
ensured.
