>>H<< LOWER OIL SEAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION
To eliminate a seal malfunction at the valve
housing alignment surface, the upper surface of
the oil seal should project outward
approximately 1 mm from the housing edge
surface.
Using special tool torque tube bearing installer
(MB990941), press the oil seal into the valve
housing.
>>I<< END PLUG INSTALLATION
1. Apply specified sealant to the threaded part of the
end plug.
Specified sealant: 3M ATD Part No.8661,
8663 or equivalent
2. Secure the threaded portion of the end plug at two
places by using a punch.
>>J<< RACK SUPPORT COVER/LOCK
NUT INSTALLATION
1. Position the rack at its centre.
2. Apply specified sealant to the threaded part of the
rack support cover.
Specified sealant:
3M ATD Part No.8661, 8663 or equivalent3. Use the following special tool to tighten the rack
support cover to 23 ± 2 N⋅m.
•MB990607: Torque Wrench Socket
•MB991621: Piston Driver
4. Turn the rack support cover 30° anticlockwise.
5. Use the special tool to hold the rack support
cover, and then tighten the lock nut to 59 ± 10
N⋅m.
>>K<< TOTAL PINION TORQUE
ADJUSTMENT
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 preload socket (MB991006),
rotate the pinion shaft at the rate of one rotation in
4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion torque and
the change in torque.
Standard value:
Total pinion torque: 0.8 − 2.1 N⋅m <1300,
1600(Comfort)>
[Change in torque: 0.6 N⋅m or less]
Total pinion torque: 0.7 − 2.1 N⋅m <1600(Sport),
2000>
[Change in torque: 0.6 N⋅m or less]

•Before removing the clock spring, refer to GROUP 52B, Service Precautions (P.52B-5) and Air Bag
Module and Clock Spring (P.52B-210). Also, put the front wheels in straight-ahead position.
Failure to do so may damage the SRS clock spring and render the SRS air bag inoperative, which
results serious driver injury.
•
*: Indicates parts which should be initially tightened, and then fully tightened after placing the
vehicle horizontally and loading the full weight of the engine on the vehicle body.

3. If there is a difference in height between the side
outer panels and the side edges of the trunk lid
panel assembly, check the trunk lid hinges and, if
necessary, replace them
4. If the clearance around the trunk lid panel
assembly is not uniform, and the trunk lid can be
locked and unlocked smoothly, make adjustments
to the trunk lid bumpers (refer to P.42-42) and
trunk lid hinges (Refer to P.42-42).
5. If the locking and unlocking of the trunk lid still is
difficult after making the above adjustments,
adjust the trunk lid striker (Refer to P.42-42).
ADJUSTMENT OF CLEARANCE AROUND
TRUNK LID
M1421008100039
Loosen the trunk lid panel assembly mounting bolts
and move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the
clearance around the trunk lid uniform.
TRUNK LID STRIKER ADJUSTMENTM1421008200036
After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper
routing, loosen the trunk lid striker mounting bolts.
Change the position of the trunk lid striker relative to
the trunk lid latch assembly so that trunk lid locking
and unlocking effort is correct.
TRUNK LID HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTM1421008300033
Turn each trunk lid bumper until the height shown in
the drawing is reached. If the trunk lid panel height
on one side is different from that on the other side
(even after the trunk lid bumpers have been adjusted
to the height indicated in the drawing), turn the trunk
lid bumper(s) slightly to make fine adjustments to the
trunk lid panel height.
NOTE: When the bumper is new, one full turn of the
trunk lid bumper changes the height approximately 3
mm. Turn it clockwise to reduce height. Turn it
anticlockwise to increase height.
