Standard value: 3.4 - 9.0 N.m (30 - 80 in-lb)
2. When the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the stabilizer
link.
3. When the measured value is lower than the standard value, check that the ball
joint turns smoothly without excessive play. If so, it is possible to reuse that
ball joint.
STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK 1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with your finger.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or dama
ged, re
place the stabilizer link.

1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set the front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Slightly move the steering wheel in both directions, and measure the play
on the steering wheel circumference before the wheels start to move.
Limit: 30 mm (1.2 inch)
3. If the free play exceeds the limit, set the steering wheel straight ahead with
the engine stopped. Apply approximately 5 N (1.1 pound) to the steering
circumference and check the play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with engine stopped): 10 mm (0.4
inch) or less
Q: Does the play exceed the standard value?
YES: Remove the steering gear box (Refer to POWER STEERING
GEAR BOX AND LINKAGE
) and check the total pinion torque (Refer
to STEERING GEAR TOTAL PINION TORQUE CHECK
). Then go
to Step 3.
NO
: Go to Ste
p 3.

NO: Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check for oil leaks.
Q: Are there oil leaks?
YES: Find the cause of the oil leakage and repair it. Then go to Step 9 .
NO: Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check the wheel alignment (camber and caster).
Refer to FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
.
Q: Is the alignment incorrect?
YES: Adjust alignment. Then go to Step 9 .
NO: Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Check the gear box rack piston seal for damage.
Q: Is there damage?
YES: Replace it. Then go to Step 9 .
NO: Go to Step 8.
STEP 8. Check for excessive tie rod end ball joint breakaway torque.
Refer to TIE ROD END BALL JOINT BREAKAWAY TORQUE
CHECK
.
Q: Is the breakaway torque out of specification?
YES: Replace the tie rod end. Then go to Step 9.
NO: Go to Step 9.
STEP 9. Check the steering wheel operation.
Verify that the steering wheel operation is not difficult.
Q: Is the steering wheel operation difficult?

wheel circumference and check the play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with the engine stopped): 10 mm (0.4

5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove the steering gear (Refer to
POWER STEERING GEAR BOX AND LINKAGE
.) and check the total
pinion torque (Refer to STEERING GEAR TOTAL PINION TORQUE
CHECK
.).
STEERING ANGLE CHECK 1. Place the front wheel on a turnin

CAUTION: On vehicles with ASC, if the steering angle is
adjusted, always carry out steering wheel sensor
calibration (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR
CALIBRATION
). This is necessary because the
TCL/ASC-ECU should update the steering neutral
point.

2. If the steering angle is not within the standard value, adjust the toe as follows.
Standard value: 0 +/- 3 mm (0 +/- 0.12 inch)
1. Loosen the jam nut, and unclip the bellows.
2. Adjust the toe by turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same
amount (in opposite directions).
3. Tighten the jam nut to the specified torque, and tighten the bellows by the
clip.
Tightening torque: 52 +/- 2 N.m (38 +/- 2 ft-lb)
NOTE: The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is
turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right
turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
