2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR torque

If the measured value is not within the standard range, first adjust the adjust
screw, and then check the total pinion torque again.

2. If the total pinion torque cannot be adjusted to within the standard range by
adjusting the adjust screw, replace the power steering gear.

TIE ROD SWING RESISTANCE CHECK 1. Give 10 hard swings to the tie rod.
2. Measure the tie rod swing resistance with a spring scale.
Standard value: 5.3 - 17.3 N (1.2 - 3.8 lb) [1.5 - 4.9 N.m (13.2 - 43.4 in-lb)]
3. If the measured value exceeds the standard value,
replace the tie rod.

CAUTION:
Be sure there is no ratcheting or catching when
operating the rack towards the shaft. Measure the total pinion torque through the
whole stroke of the rack.

1. Using special tool MB991006, rotate the pinion shaft at the rate of one rotation
in four to six seconds to check the total pinion torque and the change in torque.
Standard value:
Total pinion torque: 0.8 - 1.9 N.m (7.1 - 16.8 in-lb)
[Change in torque: 0.7 N.m (6.2 in-lb) or less]
2. If the total pinion torque or the change in torque is outside the standard value,
loosen the adjust screw once and retighten it to the specified torque 5.4 +/- 0.5
N.m (48 +/- 4 in-lb). Loosen the adjust screw 20 - 40 degrees, and adjust the
pinion torque again.
CAUTION: When adjusting, set at the highest value of the
standard value range.
NOTE: If the total pinion toque cannot be adjusted to the
standard value within the standard range, replace the
steering gear assembly.

ASSEMBLY SERVICE POINT >>C<< BELLOWS BAND INSTALLATION 1. Turn the adjusting bolt of special tool MB991561 to adjust the opening
dimension (W) to the standard value.
Standard value (W): 2.9 mm (0.11 inch)
< When more than 2.9 mm (0.11 inch)>: Screw in the adjusting bolt.
NOTE: The dimension (W) is adjusted by approximately 0.7 mm
(0.03 inch) per one turn.
NOTE: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than one turn.
