STEERING ASSEMBLY
36 - 11
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.
