CAUTION:
• Do not allow axial impact to steering column assembly during removal and installation.
• Steering column must be kept at maximum tilt up position during removal and installation. Do not
operate tilt mechanism while steerin g column is out of the vehicle.
• Put matching mark on intermediate shaft and steering column assembly before removing steering column.
• When steering wheel is turned repeatedly with the vehicle stopped, care must be taken because
motor and EPS control unit may get too hot.
• Steering column assembly is heavy. Care must be taken when removing steering column assembly
from vehicle.
• Do not put steering column assem bly near the things that generate excessive magnetic force.
• Steering column assembly (with motor, redu ction gear, sensor) cannot be disassembled.
• After installing steering column, perform wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Wheel Alignment Inspec-
tion".

7. Disconnect each switch connector installed to steering column assembly, and then disconnect harness from steering column assembly.
8. Remove bolt of intermediate shaft (upper side), and then remove intermediate shaft from steering column assembly.
9. Remove steering column assembly nuts, and then remove steering column assembly from vehicle.
10. Remove screws of bracket and EPS control unit, and then remove bracket and EPS control unit from
steering column assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Check each part of steering column assembly, EPS control unit and intermediate shaft for damage and.
replace as necessary.
• Measure the length (L) as shown, if vehicle has been involved in a minor collision. Replace steering column assembly (with motor,
reduction gear, sensor) if outside the standard.
• Check tilt mechanism for damage or other malfunctions. Replace steering column assembly (with motor, reduction gear, sensor) as
necessary.
• Measure steering column assembly rotating torque using Tool.
Replace steering column assembly (with motor, reduction gear,
sensor) if outside the standard.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• When tightening bolt (intermediate shaft lower side), tight en it by hand first, and make sure there is no feel-
ing of sticking or galling before final tightening.
CAUTION:
Insert bolt in the proper direction. (D o not insert it from the other side.)
• When connecting intermediate shaft upper side (1) and column shaft, make sure the bolt is securely seated in groove (A) of col-
umn shaft (A) before final tightening.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Rotate steering wheel to check for decentered condition, binding, noise or excessive steering effort.
• After installing steering column assembly, perform self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III to ensure correct opera-
tion. Refer to STC-8, "
CONSULT-III Function".

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 stri ng to avoid turning.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front suspension member. Refer to FSU-11, "Removal and Installation".
2. Remove mounting bolts and nuts of steering gear assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Clean mounting surface on the body side of lower dash seal when installing steering gear assembly.

3. Install inner socket to rack assembly. Torque to specified value while holding the flat portion of the racknext to the inner socket using a suitable tool.
4. Apply recommended grease to inner socket.
5. Decide on the neutral position for the rack assembly.
6. Apply recommended grease to around retainer (3), then install retainer (3), spring (4) and adjusting screw (1) to gear housing
assembly (5).
7. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2 turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw (1) until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly (5) measured
before disassembling.
8. Tighten lock nut to (2) the specified torque securing it to prevent adjusting screw (1) from freewheeling condition.
9. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that the parts can fit with each other.
10. Using Tools A and B, measure rotating torque of pinion assem- bly. If the measurement is out side of the specified range, read-
just pinion rotating torque. If the measurement is outside of the
specified range for readjust, replace steering gear assembly.
11. Set dial gauge to the back of rack assembly on the pinion assembly side around the center of stroke. Measure displace-
ment of rack under torsional torque of ± 7.8 N·m (0.80 kg-m, 69
in-lb), and then check if it is within the standard value. If the
measurement is outside the standard value, adjust it again. After
the readjustment, if measurement is still outside the standard
value, replace steering gear assembly.
12. Install boot to gear housing assembly and inner socket. Rack stroke “L” : Refer to
PS-21, "
Steering Gear".

13. Install boot clamp (1) to boot using Tool. NOTE:
Install large diameter side boot clamp (1) securely to boot
groove, and crimp it so as to have clearance of 3 mm (0.12 in) or
less as shown.
14. Install joint cover (1) to gear housing assembly (2). CAUTION:
Install joint cover so that the protrusion for locating is
securely set to gear housing groove.
15. Adjust inner socket to standard length “L”, and then tighten lock nut to the specified torque. Check length of inner socket “L”
again after tightening lock nut. Make sure that the length is the
standard.
CAUTION:
Adjust toe-in. Refer to FSU-7, "
Wheel Alignment Inspec-
tion". Length achieved after toe-in adjustment is not neces-
sarily the above value. Tool number : KV40107300 ( — )
