34. Install the steering wheel (see page 17-8).
35. With the tires raised off the ground (vehicle on a
lift), check for the following symptoms by turning
the steering wheel fully to the right and left several
times.
Rubbing sound
coming from the
lower steering
column area. Steering column joint
is contacting the cover.
Grating sound from
the lower steering
column area, or a
rough feeling during
steering. Poor engagement of
the pinion shaft
serrations.
Noise from around
the steering wheel
during steering. Poor engagement of
the SRS cable reel with
the steering wheel, or a
damaged cable reel.
36. Install the air cleaner housing (see page 11- 345).
37. Install the under cowl panel and cowl cover (see page 20-163). 38. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure
(see page 22-68), and do these tasks:
 Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds
and then goes off.
 Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
 Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
39. After installation, do the following checks:  Check the steering wheel spoke angle. If steeringspoke angles to the right and left are not equal
(steering wheel and rack are not centered),
correct the engagement of the joint/pinion shaft
splines.
 Set the steering column to the center tilt position, and to the center telescopic position, then check
the wheel alignment and adjust (see page 18-5).
 Make sure the steering wheel spokes are centered.
 Start the engine, and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times. Check that
the EPS indicator does not come on.
 Do the memorizing for the torque sensor neutral position (see page 17-22).

7. Measure the camber angle.
 If the measurement is within specification,measure the toe.
 If the measurement is not within specification, go to step 8.
8. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
9. Remove the front wheels.
10. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.
NOTE: Install the washers (B) included adjusting bolt set between the front damper and self-locking nut.
 The camber angle can be adjusted up to 25 ’ (center of tolerance) by replacing one damper
pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt.
 The camber angle can be adjusted up to 50 ’ by replacing both damper pinch bolts with the
adjusting bolts.
11. Tighten the adjusting bolts to the specified torque value.
12. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.
13. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle up and down several times to
stabilize the suspension.
14. Measure the camber angle. If the camber angle is not within specification, repeat steps 8 through 13
to readjust the camber angle. If the camber
measurement is correct, measure toe-in, and adjust
it if necessary. Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Set the steering column to the middle tilt and center telescopic positions. Center the steering
wheel spokes, and install a steering wheel holder
tool.
2. Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight ahead.
 If adjustment is required, go to step 3.
 If no adjustment is required, go to rear toe inspection/adjustment.
3. Loosen the tie-rod locknuts (A) while holding the flat surface sections (B) of the tie-rod end with a
wrench, and turn both tie-rods (C) until the front toe
is within specifications.
4. After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts to the specified torque value. Reposition the rack-end
boot if it is twisted or displaced.
5. Go to rear toe inspection/adjustment.
