A: INSPECTION
1. STEERING WHEEL
1) Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead posi-
tion, and check the wheel spokes to make sure
they are correctly set in their specified positions.
2) Lightly turn the steering wheel to the left and
right to determine the point where front wheels start
to move.
Measure the distance of the movement of steering
wheel at the outer periphery of wheel.
Steering wheel free play:
0 — 17 mm (0 — 0.67 in)
Move the steering wheel vertically toward the shaft
to ascertain if there is play in the direction.
Maximum permissible play:
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
3) Drive the vehicle and check the following items
during operation.
(1) Steering force:
The effort required for steering should be
smooth and even at all points, and should not
vary.
(2) Pulled to one side:
Steering wheel should not be pulled to either
side while driving on a level surface.
(3) Wheel runout:
Steering wheel should not show any sign of
runout.
(4) Return factor:
Steering wheel should return to its original posi-
tion after it has been turned and then released.
2. STEERING SHAFT JOINT
When the steering wheel free play is excessive,
disconnect the universal joint of steering shaft and
check it for any play and yawing torque (at the point
of the crossing direction). Also inspect for any dam-
age to sealing or worn serrations. If the joint is
loose, retighten the mounting bolts to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
24 N·m (2.4 kgf-m, 17.4 ft-lb)
3. GEARBOX
1) With the vehicle placed on a level surface, turn
the steering wheel 90° in both the left and right di-
rections.
While the wheel is being rotated, reach under the
vehicle and check for looseness in gearbox.
Tightening torque:
60 N·m (6.1 kgf-m, 44.1 ft-lb)
2) Check the boot for damage, cracks or deteriora-
tion.
3) With the vehicle placed on a level surface, quick-
ly turn the steering wheel to the left and right.
While steering wheel is being rotated, check the
gear backlash. If any noise is noticed, adjust the
gear backlash.
4) Apply liquid gasket to at least 1/3 of entire perim-
eter of adjusting screw thread.
5) Tighten the adjusting screw to 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-
m, 18.1 ft-lb) and then loosen.

7. HOSES OF OIL PUMP FOR DAMAGES
Check the pressure hose and return hose of oil
pump for crack, swell or damage. Replace the hose
with a new one if necessary.
NOTE:
Prevent hoses from turning and/or bending when
installing hoses.
8. POWER STEERING PIPES FOR DAMAG-
ES
Check the power steering pipes for corrosion and
damage.
Replace the pipes with new ones if necessary.
9. GEARBOX BOOTS
Inspect both sides of the gearbox boot as follows,
and correct the defects if necessary.
1) Positions (A) and (B) of the gearbox boot are fit-
ted correspondingly in grooves (A) and (B) of the
gearbox and rod (C).
2) Clips are fitted outside of positions (A) and (B) of
boot.
3) Boot does not have crack or hole.
NOTE:
Rotate (B) position of gearbox boot against the tor-
sion produced by the adjustment of toe-in etc. Ap-
ply grease to the groove (C).
10.FITTING BOLTS AND NUTS
Inspect the fitting bolts and nuts of oil pump and
bracket for looseness, and retighten them if neces-
sary.
Inspect and/or retighten them when engine is cold.

4) Install the washer and snap pin to range select
lever.
5) Install new clamp paying attention to the install-
ing direction.
6) Insert the tip of inner cable into connector hole of
select lever, and fix the cable to bracket.
7) Shift the select lever to the “N” range, and then
adjust the select cable position. ADJUSTMENT, Select Cable.>

9) Install the front, center and rear exhaust pipe,
and the muffler. TION, Front Exhaust Pipe.> INSTALLATION, Rear Exhaust Pipe.> EX(H6DO)-8, INSTALLATION, Muffler.>
C: INSPECTION
Check the removed cable and replace or adjust if
damaged, rusty or malfunctioning.
1) Check the cable for smooth operation.
2) Check the inner cable for damage and rust.
3) Check the outer cable for damage, bends and
cracks.
4) Check the boot for damage, cracks and deterio-
ration.
5) Move the select lever from “P” to “D” range.
Check the existence of feel to contact the detents in
each range. If the detents cannot be felt or the po-
sition pointer is improperly aligned, adjust the ca-
ble.
6) Check if the starter motor rotates when the se-
lect lever is set to “P” range.
7) Check the back-up light illumination when the
