INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Wheel Hub and Knuckle Inspection
Check for any deformity, cracks, or other damage on the wheel hub assembly and knuckle, replace if neces-
sary.
CAUTION:
The wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
Growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation.
Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-14, "
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL" transverse link and PS-14, "INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEM-
BLY" steering outer socket ball joint.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when remov-
ing wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckle. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2,
"Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”"
.
When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
align the marks.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-28, "

STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEGS0014V
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.
Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
Check steering gear assembly mounting bolts and nuts for looseness. Refer to PS-12, "COMPONENT" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on
the outer circumference.
When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the
correct position.
Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2, "Precautions for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”" .
Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360° from neutral position using suitable tool as
shown.
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, refer to
STC-7, "
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis" . Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)
Steering wheel
turning force: Less than 36 N (3.7 kg-f, 8.2 lb-f)

CAUTION:
Spiral cable may be cut if steering wheel turns while separating steering column assembly and steer-
ing gear assembly. Be sure to secure steering wheel using string to avoid turning.
REMOVAL
1. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position.
2. Remove bolt of intermediate shaft (lower side), and then remove intermediate shaft from steering gear
pinion shaft.
3. Raise vehicle.
4. Remove tires from vehicle with a power tool.
5. Loosen steering outer socket (1) mounting nut.
6. Remove steering outer socket (1) from steering knuckle (2) so
as not to damage ball joint boot (3) using the ball joint remover
(suitable tool).
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads
and to prevent the ball joint remover (suitable tool) from
suddenly coming off.
7. Remove front suspension member. Refer to FSU-10, "
Removal and Installation" .
8. Remove mounting bolts and nuts of steering gear assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
For tightening torque, refer to PS-12, "COMPONENT" .
Clean mounting surface on the body side of fire wall seal when installing steering gear assembly.
