NOTE :
Before removing the front suspension sub-frame from the vehicle, the location of the sub-frame must be marked on
the body of the vehicle. Do this so the sub-frame can be relocated, upon reinstallation, against the body of vehicle in
the same location as before removal. If the front suspension sub-frame is not reinstalled in exactly the same location
as before removal, the preset front wheel alignment settings (caster and camber) may be lost.
19. Using a jack, slowly lower the sub-frame enough to access the intermediate shaft coupling at the steering gear pinion shaft.
20. Remove the steering gear assembly.
21. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• After installing the new steering gear, perform a front end alignment procedure to reset the toe-in (See Front
Wheel Alignment in Section 10 Suspension).

Description
The power steering pump is a constant flow rate and displacement vane type pump. The pump reservoir is detached
from the pump body. The pump is connected to the steering gear by the pressure and return lines.
Operation
The power steering pump is mounted to the engine and driven by the engine accessory drive belt. Power steering
fluid enters the pump from the reservoir. The power steering fluid is then trapped between the pump vanes and
moved to the high-pressure side of the pump creating a flow of steering fluid. The restriction of this flow by the
steering gear creates the pressure that provides the steering assist.
CAUTION:
•Operating the power steering with a low steering fluid level will damage the power steering sys-
tem.
• Holding the steering wheel in the full lock position for more than 3 seconds will damage the
power steering system.
