9. Install the lower intermediate shaft pinch bolt.
Tighten
Tighten the lower intermediate shaft pinch bolt to 25
NSm (18 lb–ft).
10. Connect the power steering gear fluid inlet and out-
let pipe.
Tighten
Tighten the steering gear inlet and outlet pipe fitting
to 28 NSm (21 lb–ft).
11. Perform a front toe adjustment. Refer to Section
2B, Wheel Alignment.
12. Install the wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and
Wheels.
13. Lower the vehicle.
14. Do a straight–ahead check. Refer to ”Straight–
Ahead Check” in this section.
Notice : When adding fluid or making a complete fluid
change, always use power steering fluid DEXRON®–II or
III or equivalent. Failure to use the proper fluid will cause
hose and seal damage and fluid leaks.
15. Refill the power steering system and check for
leaks. If leaks are found, correct the cause of the
leak and bleed the system. Refer to Section 6A,
Power Steering System.
16. Connect the negative battery cable.
