straight-ahead position.
2) Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove
key.
3) Remove steering joint cover.
4) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and
pinion shaft (3) for a guide during reinstallation.
5) Remove lower shaft upper and lower joint bolts (2).
6) Remove steering lower shaft (1).Installation
1) Be sure that front wheels are in straight forward
state.
2) Align flat part “a” of steering lower shaft (1) with bolt
hole “b” of shaft joint (2) of column as shown. Then
insert lower shaft into shaft joint of steering column.
3) Insert lower shaft (1) into pinion shaft (3) with
matching marks (4).
4) Tighten lower joint bolt (6) to specified torque first
and then upper joint bolt (5) to specified torque.

Hoist vehicle.
Inspect each boot for tear. A torn boot allows entry of
dust and water which can cause wear to steering rack
and pinion to produce noise as well as rust to result in
malfunction of steering system.
Even if boot tear is small, replace with new one.
Also, check each boot for dent. If there is a dent, keep
boot in most compressed state for some seconds to
correct dent.
Boots should be visually inspected for any damage, dent
and tear during every periodical inspection at specified
intervals and whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
purpose.
