POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
CHECK
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and
then connect the special tools.
2. Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several
times while the vehicle is not moving so that the
temperature of the fluid rises to approximately 50 - 60_C.
3. The engine should be idling.
4. Disconnect the connection of the connector for the oil
pressure switch, and set an ohmmeter in position.
5. Gradually close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge
and increase the hydraulic pressure, then check whether
or not the hydraulic pressure that activates the switch
is the standard value.
Standard value: 1.8 - 2.4 MPa
6. Gradually open the shut-off valve and reduce the hydraulic
pressure; then check whether or not the hydraulic pressure
that deactivates the switch is the standard value.
Standard value: 1.0 - 2.4 MPa
7. Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure
hose to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 18±3 N·m
8. Bleed the system.
BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK
1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing
it with finger.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the
tie rod end.
NOTE
Cracks or damage of the dust cover may cause damage
of the ball joint.

INSPECTION
GEAR BOX PINION TOTAL ROTATION TORQUE CHECK
Caution
Secure the steering gear box and linkage in their mounting
positions only. Otherwise, deformation or damage could
result.
1. Using the special tool, turn the pinion gear at a speed
of one rotation per 4 to 6 seconds to measure total rotation
torque.
Standard values:
Total rotation torque: 0.8 – 1.8 N·m
Torque fluctuation: 0.49 N·m or less
NOTE
(1) Remove the bellows from the rack housing before
measuring.
(2) Measure the total rotation torque by turning the special
tool left and right 180_from the neutral position.
2. If the standard values are not met, adjust the pinion total
rotation torque. (Refer to P.37A-26.)
3. In case the adjustment is impossible, disassemble and
check the components, and repair if necessary.

TIE ROD SWING RESISTANCE CHECK
1. Swing the tie rod 10 times hardly.
2. With the tie rod end downwards as shown, use a spring
scale to measure swing resistance (swing torque).
Standard value: 8 - 27 N (1.5 - 4.9 N·m)
3. If the measured value is above the standard value, replace
the tie rod.
4. If below, check the ball joint for looseness or ratcheting.
The tie rod is still serviceable when the ball joint swings
smoothly.
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK
1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing
it with finger.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the
tie rod end. (Refer to P.37A-19, 20.)
NOTE
A cracked or damaged dust cover may damage the ball
joint. Replace the dust cover when it is damaged during
service work.

"HALOWER OIL SEAL INSTALLATION
Using the special tool, press the oil seal into the valve housing.
The upper surface of the oil seal must project outwards about
1 mm from the housing end surface.
Caution
When the oil seal is flush with or lower than the housing
edge, reassemble the components. Otherwise, oil leaks
will result.
"IAEND PLUG INSTALLATION
1. Apply specified sealant to the threaded section of the
end plug, and then install the end plug to the gear housing.
Specified fluid:
3M ATD Part No.8661, 8663 or equivalent
2. Use a punch to bend over the two tabs on the sides
of the end plug to stop the end plug from turning.
"JARACK SUPPORT COVER/LOCKING NUT
INSTALLATION
1. Apply specified sealant to the rack support cover thread.
Specified fluid:
3M ATD Part No.8661, 8663 or equivalent
2. Using the special tool, tighten the rack support cover
to 23±2 N·m.
3. Return the rack support cover by about 30_.
4. Tighten the locking nut to the specified torque, using
the special tool to prevent the rack support cover from
spinning.
"KAPINION TOTAL ROTATION TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
1. Using the special tool, measure total rotation torque by
turning the pinion gear at a speed of one rotation per
4 to 6 seconds.
Standard value:
Total rotation torque: 0.8-1.8 Nm
Torque fluctuation: 0.49 Nm or lessMB990941 Approx. 1 mmOil

STEERING - Power Steering Gear Box and Linkage37A-27
2. If the total rotation torque or torque fluctuation does not
meet the standard values, adjust by returning the rack
support cover within a range of 0 to 30_.
Caution
(1) Adjust around the maximum limit of the standard
values.
(2) See that no ratcheting or catching are present
when operating the rack towards the shaft
direction.
(3) Measure the total pinion torque through the whole
stroke of the rack.
3. If the adjustment is impossible in the given range, check
the components of the rack support cover, and replace
if necessary.
"LATAB WASHER/TIE ROD INSTALLATION
After installing the tie rod to the rack, fold the tab washer
end (2 locations) to the tie rod notch.
"MABELLOWS BAND INSTALLATION
1. Turn the adjusting bolt of the special tool to adjust the
opening dimension (W) to the standard value.
Standard value (W): 2.9 mm

Screw in the adjusting bolt.

Loosen the adjusting bolt.
NOTE
(1) The dimension (W) is adjusted by about 0.7 mm per
one turn.
(2) Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than one turn.
2. Use the special tool to crimp the bellows band.
Caution
(1) Hold the rack housing, and use the special tool
to crimp the bellows band securely.
(2) Crimp the bellows band until the special tool
touches the stopper.
