CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any of
the customer's comments; refer to MIR-10, "
Diagnostic Worksheet". This information is necessary to duplicate
the conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain
all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).
If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer is
concerned about. This can be accomplished by a test drive with the customer.
After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.
Squeak – (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces
= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping
Creak – (Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-
dent on materials/often brought on by activity.
Rattle – (Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
Knock – (Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
Tick – (Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
Thump – (Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
Buzz – (Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.
Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that a technician
may judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.
Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

SPIRAL CABLE
6. Remove the spiral cable (1) side pawls (LH/RH).
7. Pull the spiral cable out forward.
CAUTION:
Never disassemble the spiral cable.
Never apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
Never allow oil, grease, detergent or water to come in contact with the spiral cable.
Never impact the spiral cable.
Replace the spiral cable if it has been dropped or sustained
an impact.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
The spiral cable may snap during steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
The neutral position is set as follows.
Carefully turn the spiral cable clockwise to the end position.
Then turn it counterclockwise (about 2 and a half turns) and
stop turning at the mark (B) on which the stopper insertion
holes are in the same position.
The service part is installed in the neutral position by the
stopper and can be set without adjusting after the stopper is
removed.
Never over turn the spiral cable or go beyond the number of
turns required. (These will cause the cable to snap.)
Adjust the spiral cable locating pin (A) to the steering wheel
locating pin hole (C).
In the case that a malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp, after repair or replacement of
the malfunctioning parts, reset the memory by self-diagnosis or by CONSULT-III.

STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
12. Apply recommended sealant into the thread of adjusting screw
(2 turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly measured
before disassembling.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket, Three Bond 1111B or equiva-
lent.
13. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that
the parts can fit with each other.
14. Adjust pinion rotating torque with the following procedure.
a. Measure pinion rotating torque within ±180° of neutral position
of the rack assembly using Tools. Stop the gear at the point
where highest torque is read.
b. Loosen adjusting screw and retighten to 5.4 N·m (0.55 kg-m, 48
in-lb), and then loosen by 20 to 40°.
c. Measure pinion rotating torque using Tools to make sure that the
measured value is within the standard. Readjust if the value is
outside the standard. Replace steering gear assembly, if the
value is outside the standard after readjusting, or adjusting
screw rotating torque is 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb) or less.
d. Apply recommended liquid gasket to inner socket and turn pinion fully to left with inner socket installed to
gear housing assembly.
e. Install dial indicator at 5 mm (0.20 in) (L) from the edge of gear
housing assembly (1), and tooth point.
f. Measure vertical movement of rack assembly when pinion is
turned clockwise with torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 ft-lb).
Readjust adjusting screw angle if the measured value is outside
the standard.
If reading is outside of the specification, readjust screw angle
with adjusting screw.
CAUTION:
If reading is still outside of specification, or if the rotating torque of adjusting screw is less
than 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb), replace steering gear assembly.
Never turn adjusting screw more than twice.
Replace steering gear assembly when adjusting screw is removed or turned more than twice.
