MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-7
Power steering pump and / or A / C compressor drive belts (if
equipped) for G16 and H25 engines.
Inspection
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanliness.
If any defect exists, replace.
Check belt for tension.

ªaº: 6 ± 9 mm (0.24 ± 0.35 in.) deflection under 100 N, 10 kg
or 22 lb pressure.
ªbº: 4 ± 7 mm (0.16 ± 0.28 in.) deflection under 100 N, 10 kg
or 22 lb pressure.
If belt tension is out of above specification, adjust it referring to
Section 1B or 3B1.
3) Connect negative cable to battery.
Replacement
Replace belt referring to Section 1B or 3B1 for replacement proce-
dure of belt.

11) Check coil spring, upper rod, lower rod and lateral rod for de-
formation and damage.
12) Check upper rod, lower rod and lateral rod bushings and bump
stopper for wear, damage and deterioration.
13) Check other suspension parts for damage, loose or missing
parts; also for parts showing signs of wear or lack of lubrication.
Replace any parts found defective in steps 1) to 13).
ITEM 6-9
Propeller Shafts and Drive Shafts Inspection
1) Check universal joint and spline of propeller shaft for rattle. If
rattle is found, replace defective part with a new one.
2) Check propeller shaft (front & rear) flange yoke bolts for tight-
ness, and retighten them as necessary.
Refer to Section 4B for tightening torque.
3) Check drive axle boots (wheel side and differential side) for
leaks, detachment, tear or other damage.
Replace boot as necessary.

FLOW CONTROL VALVE
As the discharge rate of the P/S pump increases in proportion to the
pump revolution speed, a flow control valve is added to control it so
that the optimum amount of fluid for steering operation is supplied
according to the engine speed (driving condition).
Described below is its operation at different engine speed.

NOTE:
For J20 Type engine, refer to Section 6H ªGENERATOR BELTº.
INSPECTION
Check that belt is free from any damage and properly fitted in pulley
groove.
BELT TENSION CHECK
Check belt tension by measuring how much it deflects when
pushed at intermediate point between pulleys with about 10 kg
(22 lb) force.

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
[For G16 Type engine]
a) To adjust P / S pump drive belt tension, use adjusting bolt of com-
pressor for A / C equipped vehicles and that of P / S pump for ve-
hicles without A / C.
b) Adjust belt tension to above specification.
c) Then tighten adjusting and mounting bolts to specified torque.
[For J20 Type engine]
To adjust P / S pump drive belt tension, refer to ªGENERATOR
BELTº in Section 6H.
[For H25 Type engine]
a) To adjust P / S pump drive belt tension, loosen tension pulley
bolts and turn tension pulley using hexagon wrench.
b) Adjust belt tension to above specification.
Then tighten tension pulley bolts to specified torque.
