inner ball joint.
11. If there is free play at the tie-rod inner ball joint, install a new tie-rod.
REFER to: Tie Rod(211-03 Steering Linkage,
Removal and Installation).
12. Check the tie-rod end for free play. Install a new tie-rod end if necessary.

Turning Effort Test
NOTE: Before carrying out this test, make sure
that the suspension components are serviceable.
NOTE: Before carrying out this test, make sure
that the steering column is serviceable.
NOTE: Before carrying out this test, make sure
that the toe adjustment and tire pressures are
correct.
1. Park the vehicle on a dry, even surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the driver air bag module.
REFER to: Driver Air Bag Module (501-20
Supplemental Restraint System, Removal and
Installation).
3. Connect the air bag simulators to the sub-harnesses in place of the driver air bag
module at the top of the steering column.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times until the power
steering fluid has reached normal operating
temperature. 5. Using a suitable torque wrench and socket,
check the steering wheel turning effort.
6. If the steering wheel turning effort is greater than the specification, install a new steering gear.
Steering Column Universal Joint
1.WARNING: Install a new steering column
to steering gear pinion retaining bolt. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.
Detach the steering column from the steering
gear pinion.• Discard the steering column to steering gear pinion retaining bolt.

Steering Gear Checks After a Collision
General EquipmentFeeler gauge
Straight edge
Items to be observed when checking the steering
system
The following list of steering gear conditions and
the methods of testing should be taken into account
when carrying out checks to the steering system:
• If the steering gear has no faults after completing the following checks, do not install
a new steering gear.
• Surface corrosion and marks on the tie-rod are acceptable.
• When checking for turning effort torque peaks in the steering gear, turn the steering wheel from
steering lock stop to steering lock stop in
approximately 15 seconds.
• A steady increase of turning effort torque from steering center to steering lock stop is
acceptable.
• When checking for power steering fluid leaks, turn the steering wheel to the steering lock stop
in approximately 10 seconds.
• Noises from the power steering, for example the power steering pump relief valve, are
acceptable.
STEERING GEAR HOUSING
1. Raise and support the vehicle. REFER to: Lifting(100-02 Jacking and Lifting,
Description and Operation).
2. Visually inspect the steering gear housing for cracks and damage. If the steering gear housing
is cracked or damaged, install a new steering
gear.
REFER to: Steering Gear (211-02 Power
Steering, Removal and Installation).
TIE-RODS
1. Using a straight edge and feeler gauge, check the tie-rods to see if they are straight. If the
distance between the tie-rod and straight edge is greater than 0.5 mm, install a new steering
gear.
REFER to:
Steering Gear (211-02 Power
Steering, Removal and Installation).
2. Check the tightening torque of the tie-rod end to wheel knuckle nut.
REFER to: Tie Rod End (211-03 Steering
Linkage, Removal and Installation).
3. Check the tightening torque of the tie-rod end locking nut.
REFER to: Tie Rod End (211-03 Steering
Linkage, Removal and Installation).
CHECK FOR TURNING EFFORT TORQUE
PEAKS IN THE STEERING GEAR
1. Lower and support the vehicle making sure that the road wheels are just clear of the floor.
2. With the ignition switch in position I, slowly turn the steering wheel from steering lock stop to
steering lock stop. If a turning effort torque peak
or judder is felt while turning the steering wheel,
detach the tie-rods from the wheel knuckles.
3. Slowly turn the steering wheel from steering lock stop to steering lock stop. If a turning effort
torque peak or judder is felt while turning the
steering wheel, install a new steering gear.
REFER to: Steering Gear (211-02 Power
Steering, Removal and Installation).
CHECK FOR POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKS
1. Lower the vehicle.
2. Run the engine at a fast idle and slowly turn the steering wheel to the left-hand steering lock
stop. Hold the steering wheel in this position for
5 seconds with a turning effort torque of 15 Nm
at the steering wheel rim.
3. Turn the steering wheel away from the left-hand steering lock stop for 30 seconds.
4. Run the engine at a fast idle and slowly turn the steering wheel to the right-hand steering lock
stop. Hold the steering wheel in this position for
5 seconds with a turning effort torque of 15 Nm
at the steering wheel rim.
5. Turn the steering wheel away from the right-hand steering lock stop.
6. Check for power steering fluid leaks at the steering gear housing and the power steering
line connections to the steering gear. If there is
