POWER STEERING: STEERING GEAR: REASSEMBLY

REASSEMBLY
HINT: When installing, coat the parts indicated by arrows with silicon grease Components.

1. INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Install 2 new claw washers.
HINT: Align the claws of the claw washer with the steering rack grooves.





(b) Using SST, install the steering rack end (RH side).
SST: 09922-10010
Torque: 76 Nm (775 kgf-cm, 56 ft-lbf)
- Use SST 09922-10010 following the direction shown in the illustration.
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.)
- Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end.





(c) Using SST, install the steering rack end (LH side).
SST: 09922-10010
Torque: 76 Nm (775 kgf-cm, 56 ft-lbf)
- Use SST 09922-10010 following the direction shown in the illustration.
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.)
- Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end.





(d) Using a brass bar and a hammer, stake the 2 claw washers.
NOTE: Avoid any impact to the steering rack.

2. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT






(a) Apply silicon grease to the inside of the small opening of the boot (LH side).






(b) Temporarily install a new clamp to the large opening of the boot (LH side) at the position shown by arrow (A).
- Use a new clamp.
- Do not expand the clamp more than necessary for installation, as the tightening force of the clamp becomes uneven. If over-expanded, rust may occur if water enters the clearance between the boot and rack housing.
- Do not deform the steering rack boot clamp.
- Use only the supply parts which are applicable to the vehicle to secure the boot.
HINT: After disengaging the claw of a new clamp, temporarily install it from the end without expanding the clamp diameter more than necessary.

(c) Install the No. 1 rack boot (LH side) to the groove on the rack housing.
NOTICE:
- Be careful not to damage or twist the boot.
- Do not damage the steering rack boot (LH side).
- Ensure that the steering rack boot No. 1 clamp is installed before installing the steering rack boot No. 1 (LH side) to the rack housing.

(d) Install the RH side by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
3. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT NO. 1 CLAMP






(a) Using pliers and a screwdriver, install the clamp (LH side).
- Be careful not to damage the boot.
- Do not twist the boot.
HINT: Make sure that the protrusion of the clamp is positioned within the shown in the illustration.

(b) Install the RH side by using the same procedure as for the LH side.
4. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP
(a) Using pliers, install the 2 boot clips.






(b) Using SST, turn the pinion and check that the boot expand and contract smoothly.
SST: 09616-00011
5. INSTALL TIE ROD END LH






(a) Install the lock nut and the tie rod end to the rack end until the matchmarks are aligned.
HINT: After adjusting toe-in, torque the lock nut.

6. INSTALL TIE ROD END RH
HINT: Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.
