ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
POWER STEERING37-13
STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTRE
CHECK
M1372001800317
Conduct a road test:
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check
the steering wheel return.
2. At a vehicle speed of approximately 35 km/h, turn
the steering wheel 90°, hold a few seconds, then
release. If the steering wheel then returns 70° or
more, the return can be judged satisfactory.
NOTE: There will be a momentary feeling or
"heaviness" when the wheel is turned quickly, but
this is not abnormal (Oil pump discharge amount
is especially apt to be insufficient during idling).
DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECKM1372001900392
For vehicles with 1300 and 1600 engine, refer to
GROUP 11A, On-vehicle Service − Drive Belt
Tension Check P.11A-7.
For vehicles with 2000 engine, refer to GROUP 11C,
On-vehicle Service − Drive Belt Tension Check
P.11C-7.
FLUID LEVEL CHECKM1372002000284
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
2. Start the engine, and then turn the steering wheel
several times to raise the temperature of the fluid
to approximately 50 − 60°C.
3. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the
way to the left and right several times.4. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or
milkiness. Check the difference of the fluid level
when the engine is stopped, and while it is
running. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm or
more, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENTM1372002100333
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection, and then
connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain
the fluid into a container.
3. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to
GROUP 16, Ignition Coil P.16-38or P.16-39).
4. While operating the starter motor intermittently,
turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and
right several times to drain all of the fluid.
5. Connect the return hose securely, and then
secure with the clip.
6. Fill the oil reservoir with specified fluid up to
between "MAX" and "MIN" marks, and then bleed
the air.
Specified fluid: ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON

BLEEDING
M1372002200330
Perform air bleeding procedure as necessary after
replacing the steering gear or the steering fluid lines.
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to
GROUP 16, Ignition Coil P.16-38 or P.16-39).

REASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
>>A<< OIL SEAL INSTALLATION
1. Apply a coating of ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II
to the both sides of the oil seal.
2. Using the following special tools, press the oil seal
into the rack housing.
•MB991197: Bar (long type)
•MB991199: Oil Seal Installer
•MB991202: Oil Seal and Bearing Installer

>>B<< NEEDLE BEARING/LOWER
BEARING INSTALLATION
1. Apply ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II to housing
and bearing press fitting surface.
CAUTION
Press-fit straight. The valve housing is
aluminium, and may become deformed if
press-fit on an angle.
2. Press fit needle bearing/lower bearing with the
following special tools.
•MB990938: Bar (snap-in type)
•MB991202: Oil Seal and Bearing Installer
>>C<< RACK ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do not close the vent hole in the rack with
grease.
1. Apply a coating of repair kit grease to the rack
teeth face.
2. Cover rack serrations with the following special
tool.
•MB991212: Oil Seal Protector
•MB991213: Oil Seal Protector
3. Apply ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II to special
tool, and to the outer surface of the seal ring and
the O-ring.
4. Align the centre of the oil seal with the rack to
prevent the retainer spring from slipping. Slowly
insert the rack from power cylinder side.

>>D<< OIL SEAL/RACK BUSHING
INSTALLATION
1. Apply ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II to the outer
surface of the oil seal. Using special tool installer
adapter (MB990927), press in the oil seal until it is
flush with the bushing end face.
2. Apply ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II to the oil
seal inner surface and the O-ring.
3. Wrap the rack end with plastic tape, and push the
rack bushing onto the rack.
>>E<< CIRCLIP INSTALLATION
CAUTION
