c. While pulling outer socket slowly in ±11 . 5 m m (±0.453 in) range
from neutral position, make sure rack sliding force is within
specification.
d. If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering
gear assembly.
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE

Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place
front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on
stands. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning
angles for LH and RH road wheels.

With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to
full right stop and measure the turning angles.

Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.

Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that
rack stroke is outside of the standard.

Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assem-
bly, steering column assembly and front suspension compo-
nents for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are
different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any
non-standard condition exists.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Service Notice or PrecautionsNDS000D5

Do not reuse transfer fluid, once it has been drained.

Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.

During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.

Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern.
Fitting improper size and unusual wear tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause
longitudinal vibration.

Disassembly should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.

Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.

Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.

Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the transfer is disassembled.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, use it.

Observe the specified torque when assembling.

Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.

Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

Clean innerparts with lint-free cloth or towels. Do not use cotton work gloves and rags to prevent adhering
fibers.
